Car was owned by an old man in Florida up till 45,000 miles. At that point a good buddy of mine (who is also now our head technician) bought it. He DD'd the car. (when weather was nice) Never made a single 1/4 mile pass. When the car had about 62k miles on it some asshole put sugar in the gas tank that caused a failure. Instead of replacing the motor with stock (insurance paid) he had it built. The next 10k miles he continued to DD the car when the weather was nice. Car hasn't ever made a SINGLE 1/4 mile pass. It has had very few launches at all (verified through ecutek) Aside from the occasional highway pull against me, the car wasn't ever raced. On to the trans. It's IVEY trans.. not a Shep trans. So the numbers are a little different. An Ivey 1.5+ is equal to a Shep stage 3. For reference, about a dozen cars have went DEEP 8s on an Ivey 1.5+ (same trans as this car) [if you are comparing it to a Jacks trans... well they ALL suck] At this point, the car is very over built. You would be more likely to experience a failure at full bolt on level, than you would with this car. Trans is also smoother than stock. Have you driven any 1000hp (crank) GTRs built at a reputable shop? They are nothing like 1000hp built anything else. The cars lose zero driveability. They usually end up running smoother than stock.

What isn't practical about it? It has a flex fuel tune, so you can run pump gas. Kiddo can ride in the back easily. ( I take all 3 of my boys to school in mine all the time) It runs as smooth as stock when driving it normal. In my honest opinion, a 1000hp GT-R is MUCH more "practical" than even a stock-ish Corvette. And I'm not hating on Corvettes. It's just RWD vs AWD, 2 seats vs 4 seats, etc. EDIT: Aaron beat me to it.

1000HP GT-R. Done. /thead http://www.jetautogroup.com/2009_Nissan_GTR_Cambridge_OH_262580249.veh (year doesn't matter once it's been built, as far as the transmission goes)

Not sure it's gonna be great in the short term, but I think I'm going to pick up some AXP to hold for a while. Hopefully it's up pretty decent in 366 days.

6th time's a charm!!! Joking aside, this was definitely bad ass and impressive. I'm not sure if I should be happy for SpaceX or sad for NASA.

I've always had the best luck with DHL on international. I actually just got an email from my rep saying they had some specials on shipments exceeding 300lbs, to ignore the web quotes on anything like that and call for the updated pricing.

Congrats again Paul! Car is definitely well cared for, and has some high quality mods. I don't even know what to take from this statement. When Paul bought a H/C/I GTO wearing a drag pack, it became pretty fucking obvious to him that the car had seen a drag strip before. But if you are insinuating that the car was drag raced and beat on every weekend, being trailered back and forth in between... Well neither are the case. The car hit the track a few times a year (none in the past 4 years) and always drove to and from when I saw him run it.

Car is absolutely nasty. I have a feeling it goes 6.9x @ 21x before it's all said and done. Owner is a really nice guy. Unfortunately he had to build the white car after losing his blue one last year:

No one in any "street car" is making 2000hp reliably. I don't care what they say. Underground Racing does a great job at keeping failures hush hush. The running joke when someone's UGR car is back at the shop for repairs is that they sent it for an "oil change" The Huracan also benefits greatly by the past 8 years development that Dodson has put into the GTRs GR6 transmission. Even though it's a different trans, Dodson now knows what kind of failures to expect at xxxx torque. I would argue that the good thing about the guys pushing these cars to 2000hp is that it helps make the "smaller" builds more reliable. It seems like nowadays you can make 1000-1200hp pretty damn reliable if you do it right.

Not saying he didn't do it.... But are we talking about this National Enquirer? :gabe: http://www.bionicblonde.com/images/bionic-woman-bigfoot-national-enquirer-bionic-blonde.jpg

I thought that was Ray's car before he passed? But yeah, the DCT is the game changer. They already knew how to make 2000hp out of the motors.

They are calling Ohio now. Kasich!!!!

Bump Rubio just dropped out. Kasich doing good in Ohio. Carry on.

You make an inaccurate condescending post, and I'm being the dick? ANYTHING could happen in this shit show of an election. That's my only point. It's hard to count Kasich out right now IF he wins Ohio. If this thing goes to a brokered convention I don't think that the RNC lets Trump walk out with the nomination. IF Rubio drops out, Kasich could pick up his support and gain delegates. I don't see Cruz doing well in the North. So you can see how Kasich and Cruz can end up with similar delegate counts, Trump could have the most and still not win, and how it COULD certainly have an effect and not be a "really dumb move"

Talk about a lose/lose scenario. :fuuuu:

Rubio won't be a candidate after tomorrow, so I'm not sure I understand your logic.

Locked in!

I'll put $20 on Trump not winning the general should he win the Republican nomination. First taker only. Who wants it?

I completely agree. Keep in mind though... the media is NOT pushing those polls, lol. To listen to the media, you would think Kasich doesn't stand a chance in the general.

I have found NTR to be consistently .2 slower than Norwalk

If you believe all the polls, he does better in the general election than any other Republican nominee. A lot of Independents and moderate Democrats will vote for him.

If Kasich wins Ohio today and Rubio loses Florida, I would have to think Rubio drops out. Most of Rubios support should start backing Kasich after that point. According to most polls I have seen that assume that situation, it would more than likely force a brokered convention. (Because no one will get the 1,237 delegates required) I have a HARD time seeing anyone except Kasich get the nomination IF it does indeed go to a brokered convention. I'm definitely going to get out and make my Kasich vote today.

:lolguy: To clarify, I mean if the cars BEST pass is a 10... It went 9.90 with 400 less HP

In. We can get booted early, and watch the rest of the day. :lolguy:

Always a great time! Thanks for letting JET Auto be a part of it again :thumbup:
