Black on Black???...

 

Beautiful car...these cars definitely have set the bar very high!

 

Nice analogy... Yes, that power offers a unique experience. I drove someone's high power GT-R, and it is a violent journey, it doesn't end very quickly. It keeps attacking you.

 

[quote=blackbull;3669786]No white '07 with a simple black interior.

 

why the change from R to 3? Just curious

 

Count me in...however no Phat Burgers in Houston.

 

I can answer that, Less diapers required for passengers

@ Jitsu: We need to find Fat Burger place equivalent in H town.

 

To hold the power of an R, Underground uses a triple carbon tilton clutch. In an egear this makes daily driving a little bit of an adventure. So I opted for a lesser clutch that makes the egear happy but limits me to 1250 whp.

I will admit on occasion that I miss the extra 300hp but I'm quickly reminded why I went this direction when I am sitting in stop and go traffic.

I have over 1700 miles on the Stage 3 this year and the car has been flawless.

 

We do however have a new ceramic clutch that holds 1550+ whp and is just as smooth as the 1250 clutch. This clutch wasn't available when we finished Atomics Superleggera last year.

 

What about the new twin disc that UGR used on the 8.3 sec GTT? Doesn't behave better and holds power too?

 

Yes, that is carbon/carbon. So far that clutch has been very smooth. I need to get it out in traffic a good bit and see how it does before I will call it a true street clutch.

 

Hopefully the DSG box from the 2013 R8 will open up some new options.

 

I'll R&D it for you. I am the daily driver king.

 

I have no experience with this high HP of cars so excuse my ignorance, but does 1250 to 1550whp feel like a massive difference? In the same sense going from a 300whp to 600whp is a world of a difference, or is it not as astronomical when you already have 1250whp?
