Default My 02 CETA VS Skyline GT 350 and Shelby GT 500

I am a bit confused with what these cars are exactly but the car I ran did say this on the back....looks just like a G35-37 Infiniti.

Ran 2 times with the first at 40 - 100 and pulled immediately letting off 3 cars ahead.

The 2nd run was from 65 - 110 and let off 2 cars ahead

It did not seem to be very fast. I did not shift past 5400 and my redline with the build is 6400. So, nothing really eventful but a win all the same.

The 2nd race was against a 2008 Shelby GT 500 running full exhausts and a tune. Spoke with the guy after we ran and he said the car should be around 570-585 hp gross as did tune but did not dyno.

I was running motor on the 30 run and we ran again at 60 with me using a 75 shot.

The first race was from 30 - took off equally and but I lost traction significantly and he got 1 car on me at end of first, hit 2nd and lost traction again with him gaining another 1/2 car on me, hit 3rd and hooked well picking up 1 full car but still down by 1/2, hit 4th and pulled even when he let off...about 110.

2nd race I sprayed 75 shot starting at 65 and lost traction allowing him to pull 1/4 car but pulled back to even at end of third, hit 4th and pulled pretty hard putting 2 cars on him by end of 4th, hit fifth and put another car on him when he let off at 140. Win by 3 cars.

nice guy and nice looking car. he has plans to put a blower on next month.

What he did was put 01-07 skyline 350 gt badges on his g35.

The G35 essentially is an exact copy of the 350gt, but he was just another skyline lover.

That is, unless he had right hand drive...


Nice kills BTW!

Full exhaust and tune, but no dyno? He must be set up for 'at home' datalogging.

If he has a full exhaust and email tune with no datalogging, I doubt he's pushing that power.

I tell you what...he is pushing pretty good power. My Ceta just on motor will do a 118 MPH on motor at the track...I did lose a bit more traction this time but his car was pretty strong. i am running 500 RWHP with the 75 shot and he hung pretty well. He had a nice car.

Oh, I'm not saying he didn't have good numbers or a strong car. I didnt' mean for it to sound that way. I'm just saying without a proper tune he's most likely not putting down ~50-75 over stock.

Yes, I am on FQuick and have been trying to upload videos of my GN running, the CETA, etc but having difficulty...http://www.fquick.com/02txceta

I have been accumlating cars for over 20 years. Bought the GN new in early 87'.

I only say what I did about the GT500 as I had run one at the track both high end and low end that was stock, and pretty much demolished him. This one substantially quicker. have no idea what kind of tuner, software he uses but car was strong.

I gotcha. GT500 ETs/TS's are all over the place though so it's tough to gauge off of that.

Again, I'm not trying to talk down on the car, just offering my 2 cents.
