GT2 showed up today - first impressions
#16
Eh.. Really? I have not driven a gt2 that would not break the tires loose at will this car is called a widow maker by all club racers.. Maybe you need to ice those 20'' rims you spoke about in other threads. You speak of other cars and the work done on them, who do you use? What motor mods do you have?
My S65 will break them loose going straight on the dry doing 50-70 mph
Widowmaker reputation is based on absence of traction control and AWD and BAD factory alighment
Wheels are 19" even though seller clamed 20" - I'm a much happier person
Cars were mostly done by AutoAddiction in Long Island
Here is a video of my favorite car - i thinkit might have been before engine work and at 7lbs of boost

Now - Chris mostly did a mechanical work(install) and I did all the design of the pakages and worked with vendors.
Ifinity, E55s, S65 - Most of custom work came from VRP racing - I've been personal friends with Vadim for over 15 years, most of tunning - me and Victor from VRP Racing
CLK63,ML63 and Cayenne Turbo I have are bolt on only instals - mostly AA, tuning OETunning on AMGs and Sortronic on Cayenne
Infinity Qx56 - was almost all custom and a lot of engine work, custom suspension, built trany, dapted brake kit - I love that truck - true monster - took me 9 moonth to finish - initial tune by me and polished by RT Preformance in PA

I am sorry but there must be something wrong with your GT2.. K24/26 those turbos are close to a k24/18g. If you are not happy with that power level in that package I think you should sell it and build a twin t lambo.

I'm very used to to low 11s cars and this is were my comfort zone lies.
2nd - I never bought that car to be a drag strip queen - gust need more power earlier
3rd - ther is MANY people on this forum - everybody with over 500whp who should sell theri cars right now and build Lamb TT )))
The whole point of modifying cars is to get what you want out of them.

Something is not smelling right.. You bought a GT-2 with mods that make it at least 580-600 crank hp with NO PSM and a lsd and you want to tell me a benz will beat it? Come on pic's or it never happend.

I posted a link to Dupontregistry.com with pics on page 1 of this thread, pics are there.

BTW - put 82.4 miles on the car yesterday - all on the familiar roads - something is defenetly off in the suspension setup - car is very comfortble - soaking up bumps and has a nasty afterbounce. fromt is much softer than rear. On the speeds above 65-70 front feels frisky - too light almoust and front moves 1-2 inches left to right - I think it suverly underdamped to make it in to the cruser
If rain subsides tommorow I wil try to dial Motons in

This has got to be one of the strangest threads I've ever read and by far the wierdest and most disconnected post-purchase review of a GT2 I've ever read.
I dunno what to say, just at a loss for words

Car has ton of potential and can become my most favorite car if it can have a cople of power bolt ons - does not need much - just polishing, maybe slightly better breaks(very good but not as good as Rotora/Brembo GT - probably just need different fluid and steel lines) and a lot of suspension setup/upgrades to extract full potential of trully wonderfull body.
Here is more pics - enjoy

Leon, Something's up, seriously... My 996TT would outrun Hyabusas and break traction with the PSM off in the first 4 gears when it was in RWD and that was with very small hybrid turbos...
Your car should be impressing you, big time.
