Still kicking around, its been a long time since I dropped in. I actually ended up posting my evo up again for sale with the intention of it wouldn’t sell but I was wrong. Someone came through with money and it headed off to Utah. I had that thing for 12 years and I just had enough after this years build. Took way to long and I was just sick of it just sitting in the garage when I really don’t have the time to race it the way it should’ve been, I surprisingly don’t miss it… I guess you just know when enough is enough.

Anyway, I didn’t plan on picking up anything till spring for obvious reasons… I had my mind pretty much set on picking up a c7 z06 or a GTR, I stuck to my guns (except waiting till spring part LOL) and came across this car. It was exactly the type of car I was looking for ultimately. Makes 4 digit horsepower, has gone faster than my evo ever has and the evo went 9.1 this august when I raced it at Summit. This car does it even better all while retaining AC/heated seats/navigation and drives pretty damn close to how a factory GTR drives. Overall i’m pretty excited to really have something I can actually drive around and have fun in again, mash the pedal and let over 1k+ HP hit the pavement.

I’'ll def have to frequent the cars and coffee come spring!

My 2010 GTR, built top to bottom by T1 race development in Rockwall, TX

Cool deal…welcome back…and I agree (was just having a conversation with a friend last night about this), it is incredible how fast some cars are out of the box these days…it wasn’t that long ago that 13’s were considered quite fast from the factory…I mean, that was for a supercar even…
