"That said, I am beginning to think that the Skylines AWD system has a huge impact on the numbers. By the 60 ft times, I think that the AWD and experienced driver are getting the car out of the hole 2/10ths - 4/10ths quicker than a stock tired RWD car. If the RWD cars match the HP calculator numbers then I would have to say that the GT-R's 60 ft times support a 3/10ths of a second advantage on them out of the hole. I would have to believe that the GT-R also gets a cleaner more efficient transfer of power on hard 1-2 and 2-3 shifts possibly gaining another 1/10th or two in the 1/4 mile. That said, the GT-R has already got a 1/2 second advantage in any race."
But, there will be a point where the AWD will be henderance. When that point is, I don't know. Weight transfer is good for the 1/4 mile, unless you preload the GTR to establish contact to the pavement out of the hole its will be just dead weight. Then once the front does settle, its not going to help much anyways , since you will be at speed. Also preloading will cause more friction, eating up more HP. Does this make sense HellBent?
You always have to take Dyno HP numbers with a grain of salt. They are not reliable. Times are reliable. Basically your saying is that the GTR is making more HP than what is showed, right? Or the times are BS. I would be more inclined to say the HP numbers are off.
