Wasn't too bad a day apart from the stinking weather and dodgy timing system. :) The Viper followed me home for quite a while as it lives just around the corner, so that made my day better. ;)

From memory;

1. Is an R32 GT-R.
2. Has a genuine N1 block (only about 500 made? About 550 hp hp stock - although i don't know if it is this or the red one with that engine)?
3. Looked like this at last years Alex Drags:

4. Has about 450 hp or so without Nitrous, 550 hp or so with it.
5. Will not be drag racing anymore because "its not fast enough".
6. Used mainly for hillclimbs/track days etc now (hence the big wing which actually works).
7. Sounds awesome. :D
8. Goes around the nearest racetrack about five or more seconds faster than the New Zealand V8 Touring cars (our version of the V8 Supercars, but they are cheaper and only have about 400 hp - and bigger grids...).
9. Was originally built (not by its current owner - my mate, who also owns the red one which i posted another topic about, bought it the way it is) to compete in the Goldrush Climb To The Sky or whatever it is called, but apparently didn't do as well as the owner expected so he sold it.
10. I think this is the car he is going to use to try break the New Zealand Land Speed Record (currently about 357 km/h by an R34 GT-R) after he chucks the engine from the red one in it.

That the sort of info you were wanting? :)
