Great spec and a lovely example of a GTR.

I remember seeing the interior pics that Mattt took a while back and wondered when it would turn up on here - glad you have sorted the log in issues :thumb:

Welcome mate and credit to you for your super clean example. I was at santa pod when you were having those pics taken.

I woud say that you you have great power for that level of boost now and plenty for some track fun, but perhaps your car is too tidy for that.

Liking the sound of the 11th run and sure a few other BP members will be too.
