Nissian GTR VS VIPER- Video

Afterwards the GTR Driver came over to me and said he couldn't believe a Viper could handle like that. I just smiled.

I am running Kumho V700s (At least that's what the used to be

there about gone with 5000 Plus miles and 7 or 8 track days)

No suspension mods and Tom's brake upgrade kit.

Smooth Tubes and Roe filters

Other than that pretty stock.

Great driving, fun to watch the most advanced car try to get away from the most basic car.

The guy in the GTR voided his warranty on that run.

Very Nice (Borat Voice)

Thanks guys I haven't had that much fun on a roadcourse in a long time.

**chesapeake07** · April 16th, 2009, 08:20 PM

Thanks for sharing. Very nice run.

I always enjoy your videos. You can really drive. Incredible that the Gen I in the right hands can give the GTR that good of a run. Would love to see you pilot a GTS or pre 08 SRT Viper against the GTR. No need to bring the Gen IV into the mix yet.

yea thats what i was just thinking. In a gen2 rt10 with an extra 50 rwhp on tap ( your gen 1 dynos 360ish and a 1997 rt10 dynos 410ish) I think you could have got him. Excellent driving none the less and I too enjoy your vids..

Viper Explorer · April 16th, 2009, 09:29 PM

Whats most impressive is the suspension on the 1st gen has a sorta odd geometry, gen II is night and day sharper and better, and same on for gen 3 and 4 each one better. The 1st is kinda quirky so the fact that your ran that hard and close to him is the shiznit

, 93' still kicking ass.

I dynoed at 421 RWHP and 491 RWTQ with just intake and exhaust. I also think it dynos that high because I run the shit out of it.

I had over 1,000 views in 24 hours now its up to 1,200 looks like its going to be one of my more popular videos.

kanadianpride · April 17th, 2009, 10:13 AM

Very Nice run.. your lines are sooo consistent, very nice to see that kind of control. prop's to you, for the first while in the video it looked like you were reeling in the GTR, Doing a great job in the corners and holding your speed thro it. Consistency is key, the 4 wheel playstation went off the track, while the mechanical marvel kept it together.. awsome job!! i need to get to the track!!!!

**MbnViper** · April 17th, 2009, 06:59 PM

woow.. now thats what i call driving.

early93viper · April 17th, 2009, 07:13 PM

Thanks guys!

The guy in the Nissan GTR is Bob.....a Real Nice guy. He used to own an
elise that he tracked, is a track day instructor and he races in the scca.

Disturbed 01 · April 17th, 2009, 11:28 PM

Nice runs.

...too bad it wasn't closer to me. I'd let you take the GTS-R out and kick the living shit out of king kong....and smile all the way to the bank.

BADVENOM · April 18th, 2009, 01:00 PM
