    Also it's alleged the FL5 had cooling upgrades, shorter final drive or 6th gear and more power than stock due to more boost pressure.

    I will continue to say it. The modern performance auto industry, specifically Porsche fans owe almost everything to the 07 Nissan GT-R

      Its forgotten now by many. The r35 changed the entire automotive idustry. Its performance made every super car a joke. The r35 predicted the future by making a statement that automakers had to respond to.

    Great video, just found this channel. I’d just like to echo what someone else mentioned, it is a bit difficult to hear your voice with the background music. Other than that, great video, can’t wait to see what you make in the coming months and years.

    Good video, but you didn’t mention that Nissan offered the N Attack Package to customers which is a modifications package matching the lap record car. I don’t see how that is different from Porsche offering the Weissach Packages to match their record lap modifications.

    • @SpecMDriven
      @SpecMDriven  2 місяці тому +4

      Thanks! The thing is that when they announced their lap record they never marketed it as a N Attack. They led the public to believe the heavily modified car was just the new NISMO R35. The N Attack was only a thing after the industry discovered their record car was heavily modified. Porsche on the other hand was fully transparent about the Weissach modifications, from the get go in fact, even from the prototype testing phase.

    Bruh, someone who has the money to be able to afford an R35 GTR doesn't care how they did it. They care a out the fact that they can make the same modifications to their to achieve such a laptime with that specific car. It's taking an F1 car around nordchleife with a full downforce rear wing, and then the same F1 car going around the traxk with a trimmed down rear wing. The fact ia it's still an F1 car. If I had an F1 car, I have the ability to choose from 2 different rear wings which will give me better or worse laptimes.
