7.663 @ 184 mph R32 GT-R from the Ukraine


This is pretty nuts. 7.663@184 mph R32 GT-R from TopSpeed Ukraine. He gets pretty crossed up going down the track, and at the end. I am a little suspect of the numbers, because the car spun a lot, mph is decent, but not huge for that ET.  The 60 foot on the slip says 2.45, which makes even less sense. Maybe the 60 foot includes the reaction time? Japan does some wacky stuff adding in reaction time to the ET.   No doubt the car is fast. They need to get it on a real dragstrip.

You heard the groans from where ever you are. Another early morning. Except its not Cars and Coffee in Irvine today, its SuperCar Sunday in Woodland Hills, followed by a bit of a cruise though the canyons to PCH. A great group of cars got together for the event and cruise, followed by an early lunch at Neptune's Net.

Jeremy Clarkson in a R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R

This video looks around 1994. In the video Jeremy Clarkson is driving what looks like a 1993 or 1994 Vspec or Vspec II R32 GT-R. The race video they are using is JGTC video of the R32 GT-R. I am pretty sure those versions of the R32 race cars were rear wheel drive, which of course then doesn't match the video. They should have used some Group A footage.
