Default Very Fast Skyline! Too fast??

Check out the video:


Well, is it really too fast, as they say?

What are the "normal" lap times for that track?

Specs for the car?

It looks to be a blast to drive!!

Yep, it looks very fast on the straights, but also on the corners!!

And with that crazy 4wd, it puts most of the power on the road!

A bumpy track and light flywheel can make a car feel fast.
I'm not sure how fast that car is, but in the video he obviously isn't driving it to its full potential.

I have that video on my hard drive. Is well tuned but not making as much power as it could. They had a supra with a stock bottom end and a gt30 turbo kit doing 1:04 just before the skyline raced... still, fast enough for most people I'd say

Its making as much power as they want. If you listen to what they say about it. They wanted it to be the ultimate response machine. Which it definitely is. That tach is just goin crazy.

It's supposed to make 600 bhp, or at least, that's what they quote in some other vids with this car and it's enlighted as well. Concerning this track I don't really know what are the reference times but I know that it makes 58-59 s in Tsukuba where a F50 does 1:04 and a McLaren 1:03 ...
