We have allot of snow during the winter time and driving super cars is really a season thing here, but with a white/blue striped GT I can go to the garage during the most cold bad ass winter night and just enjoy the design, shapes and the rear end of the GT...


:biggrin Just "f.y.i.", many of us have spent time in the garage enjoying the looks of the car on many SUMMER evenings!

Do you have YOUR folding chair set up in your garage yet?! If you don't right now you soon will! We've all been there! :lol :thumbsup


Welcome to The 'Forum, sir!
 
Welcome to the forum GT SWEDEN! You summed up the competition and your choice so very well. The GT is a timeless piece.

I look forward to hearing about your visits to the Nurburgring! Be careful and make sure your GT has had the necessary PPI (including the halfshaft bolts) before you lap the 'Ring.
 
Appreciate all your kind posts.

Yes I have been reading about the bolts and how to keep the GT cool during fast driving.

Don´t want to piss you guys off but the Nurburgring is a MUST for every man with to balls and above 1% motor/racing interest. It is like a drug and it is just amazing.
I have done 68 laps and I am really really looking forward to lap the green hell with a GT.

If anyone is interested I will link a video from my lap vs F1 driver Adrian Sutil running slicks in a Gumpert Apollo S. Video car is a Manthey 997 Turbo on slicks and I was on street legal R-Compound with baaaad rear pads, baaad front tires and a screaming Finish passenger.

My next mission/goal in life is to lap a GT with Hoosiers at the Ring.

Cheers

Haha man tackar så mycket ;)
 
I'm not going to wait the full 8 minutes of video to tell you THAT VIDEO IS AWESOME!!!!!! Thanks!!! EDIT - wow, it sure looked like you speeded up SIGNIFICANTLY when you got by the GTR. Based on that, I'm assuming you slowed at the end? Great vid, thanks! That was a fun lap.

And now sir, you are OBLIGED to have several GOPRO cameras mounted during your GT run so that we can all share it vicariously with you!

Congrats on your new car, congrats on joining a special fraternity, and welcome to the BEST GT Forum on the internet!!!

Great first post. Congrats and welcome aboard

+1 Welcome.

Great use of English BTW. :biggrin
 
Mark - If you are referring to the BMW S1000 RR your not really being fair to your Brutale as your not comparing apples to apples


I beat up on a S1000RR BMW in my GTT. The faster we went the more the G would pull. They are fast though. I had to not hit the limiter with my gated shifter. There was a you tube vid of me racing him. My buddy was ridding the bike, he has no fear all the way to 200.
 
I would never compare a 458 to a GT, in my eyes they both have supermodel looks...

I agree and I have both cars. The difference is something will be replacing the 458 like it replaced the 430--and it will be yesterday's news.

The GT stands on its own and is unprecedented in how it still enters the conversation in performance and looks. It is still used in car company ads and almost nothing keeps its value as well--all 6 years after the fact.

Welcome GT Sweden. Do the blonds like the car? Send them over here if they need more exposure.

Haha the Blonds here are just Crazy, believe it or not but the Norwegian blonds are like taking a Swedish blond and adding a TT kit to it.
I work in Norway and it is just crazy here, they are all fit and very very beautiful. But also very stupid, some of them, 9 of 10 I believe ;)

Ladies over here loves all super cars because it is a very uncommon thing here, almost 8 of 10 cars are on Diesel and not producing more then 150bhp.
So when driving the super cars here the boys hate you but their girlfriends just loves you.
