Saw 4 of these yesturday strolling around DC. 3 were convertibles tho. Those dont look nearly as good as the hardtops.

Also just out of my own curiosity what year was your GTR and how hard is it to put one in the 9s? Ive found 5 here forsale. All are 64 to 67k 2014 to 2017 model years.
Thanks . it was 2015 . Boltons , E85 and weight reduction on stock turbos . My full weight GTR run consistent 10.0-10.1 when I got the tune and LC figured out . You can run 9s full weight with upgraded turbos but these motors aren't very strong . I never put bigger turbos , 2 factors . engine needs to come out and my style of driving :LOL: . I had probably around 500 1/4 mile , 200 1/2 mile runs and another ~400 highway pulls on stock engine and stock turbos . I didn't want to grenade stock engine with bigger turbos

Great thanks for the info. Id be leery of having to do engine work too. I cant imagine a built sleeved shortblock being under 5 figures?
