Like I said, I've driven an R33 GTS-t (stock bar a cat-back) and it feels quick up 60km (super short gearing) but after that it feel like a manual 4.0 litre. In gear (from 80-120) it's not very impressive at all.

My XR6T pulled a 14.3 second quarter and there is no way in hell that my mates R33 GTS-t has got a hope in matching that.

I just don't believe that the times being quoted for GTS-t's and GTT's is realistic for STOCK examples.

Well, aren't the R33 GTS-T only about 170kw as well? Good luck getting that to 266kmh.

I've also seen and read of 'stock' R34 GTRs pulling 12.8-13 seconds down the strip. With something that weighs around 1.8 tonne (?) and a quoted 205kw, not likely. Even if their real power figures were pushing 240-250kw off the showroom floor, as many claim, would still fall short of 12.8 seconds.
I've been in a stock R34 GTR, up to the 180kmh speed limiter, and from what I've driven I'd say it pulled no harder or very similar to a VZ SS auto.
