Guest JAMIE T Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 While that still doesn't mean anything when comparing engine to engine, those are impressive numbers! If I remember correctly the GT-R was on DOT street rubber, probably Yokohama A048's. I can't remember right off. FWIW, you'd have done one hell of a representation of the Old School if you'd have signed up for that Time Attack competition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 What is with this "Time Attack" thing??? I've been doing these things for years and they've always been called time trials. Time "attack" just makes me think ricers. Kinda irritating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and I agree that the RB is a better engine design and can ultimately make more power then the L6. My Datsun was on Hoosier R3S04s (DOT Street rubber) similar to the A048Rs the GT-R was running. The organizers of the OTC were contacted by SCC to see if anyone wanted to run their cars at the Time Attack. Because OTC was only a week after the SCC event most everyone declined although a few drivers (Doug Hayashi, Wayne Mellow) did attend the Time Attack and drove some of the cars.

preith Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 http://buckfang.com/pages/tt_competition.html Their whole demeanor on that page rubs me the wrong way. They have a serious ego problem. What's up with "owned" written across all the photos below them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Those are the cars they "beat" at the time attack. Its the typical in your face kind of "sportsmanship." A spillover from basketball, football, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperZ Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 That wallows in lameness.And insecurity. I like how they justify their "losing position" of 5th with the excuse of valve shims in the oil pan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A spillover from basketball, football, etc. I must agree with preith about the demeanor of the website and how they make excuses for the lack of performance. Its just pitiful. However don't pull us far superior basketball players into this, just cause we're better doesn't mean you can hate. jk jk. Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
