Anyone got a “League Table” of fastest passes? Yeah ok, they will be faster on a strip and various factors such as track conditions and weather will all be different, but for curiosity’s sake, whats quickest and where?

Everyone bitches about these times not being on a track, what will happen when they do run on a track? This isnt even the R850 car, which is coming soon to the streets of Russia, an 850+hp GTR tuned by Switzer on race gas. They ran this grey GTR on MS109, what will happen when they turn up the boost with VP Import or Q16? If there is a trans in the world to hold up to this madness, and tires to put this power to the ground, records will shatter and jaws will drop.

Easy there Greek, no need to bad mouth. These guys, in Russia, probably ran at a closed off public road or at some air field, due to lack of a drag strip. So if these guys managed that time at just any old road, imagine what the car would have done on a proper strip…?

Hoosiers are a road race tire with a stiff sidewall. The R6 is for regular road racing. They should at least put the softer compound A6 on it. The A6 is an autocross compound and comes up to temp quicker.

If they want to break into the 9’s soon, they need to put some more sidewall height. The Mickey Thompsons in an 18 are much better for drag racing.
