Brian Lock rapes your life in his GOTO R35 GTR
 


T-Hill looks like fun.

ArtieParty 10-31-2009 10:06 AM

He really did rape them. I saw a couple miata's out there. Anyone from here?

+1, that Mustang has to be a handful to drive. Awesome video.

More like "I bet you have to be a man to hotlap the Mustang.".

pdexta 10-31-2009 12:01 PM

I just looked at the build thread. :eek: I can't imagine how much fun it would be to rip apart a new car like that.

buffon01 10-31-2009 12:44 PM

Dayam!!! those people got a lot $$$ to throw around guttin a brand new GTR. The picture of the stack of hoosiers is XXXX car porn

cueball1 10-31-2009 03:15 PM

Holy crap. What is that GTR and the Mustang doing out there with SM's and Pro7's? The difference in speeds is ridiculous and unbelievably dangerous. Gee, lets start running spec racer fords with the DSR's.

curly 10-31-2009 03:22 PM

I loved the slaloming between SM's down the front straight. One of them might've been an RX-7, but it was too fast to tell.

All that money and the interior was rattle canned with wheel paint!

It's not even THAT impressive, IMO.

And its not that dangerous. Pretty much everyone out there is a seasoned racer and knows how to play together. I recently ran Savington's miata in ITE with SCCA (runs with a bunch of spec miatas that run race groups other than SM) and it was very similar.

240_to_miata 10-31-2009 07:16 PM

I know the blue and yellow miata... flatout-motorsports. They sponsor a girl i know from Uconn that races spec miata

hustler 10-31-2009 10:23 PM

lol. I think its a pretty good vid, better than 99% of teh youtube shit. I'd rather drive the mustang.

I need some wheel-to-wheel action.

levnubhin 10-31-2009 10:29 PM

I'm more impressed with the Mustang.

The only time that the GTR could pass was when the driver made a mistake. It wasn't the car's fault. His lines looked sloppy as well, from what I could see. GTR driver looks like a good smooth driver. Equal drivers and the (relatively) old tech Mustang would hold its own.

cardriverx 11-01-2009 12:13 AM

man the shifts are so quick... dsg ftw in this case.

And the Mustang probably cost 1/3 the price to build.

Doubt it.

Ok, maybe half.

Mustang GT = 30k
GTR= 100k

Say you invest 50k into each.

Possibly. I haven't seen the GTR in person yet, but that Mustang is a very nice car.

Savington 11-01-2009 02:55 AM

The Mustang is on 335mm Hoosier A6s at all four corners. $30k doesn't even begin to cover it. :giggle:

Yeah I agree with the general feeling of this thread, that mustang is badass. Any info on it?

but $30k will get you one of our amateur, shitty miatas and some track time. :giggle:

Agreed... $30k might get you some of the drivetrain...

levnubhin 11-01-2009 12:07 PM

I'm talking stock Vs Stock. Mustang GT 30k, GTR 100k and off the show room floor the GTR is undoubtedly better. Unless you can prove other wise I have to believe that there is way less invested in the Mustang than the GTR and from that video it is just as competitive if not more.

Way less money after vehicle purchase in the GTR... actually. The GTR only has: turbos, injectors, exhaust, diff/engine coolers, coilovers, swaybars, Hoosier GT1 Cup Slicks, brake pads, APR wing, and normal race stuff (cage, seat, harness).

The Mustang definitely has a lot more than that in it. Only thing making this close is the base price difference.

miatamania 11-01-2009 11:19 PM

The GT-R my boss co-drove/won Tire Rack's One Lap of America with this year just had an exhaust on it as far as power adders (Pretty much). Those cars are extremely impressive out of the box...probably one of the best 'super cars' for the money if you plan on racing.


And they are only like 80k new...;)

cueball1 11-02-2009 02:28 PM

Decent AI mustangs can be gotten around 10-20k used. A fairly competetive AIX car will cost 40-60k 2nd hand. Huge difference what it takes to be competetive in AIX.

Matt [exz3owner] 11-06-2009 11:00 AM

I understand people thinking the mustang is impressive. but let's not forget that in the Thill trim, the GTR is what - 500 lbs heavier and obviously down on power in comparison to the Mustang. Brian is a heck of a driver having competed with him on many occassions. They've developed that car right. I can't wait to see it in time attack trim here in another week...
