But bigger than GT Spirit. Wheels rotated and turned with the steering. It didnt light up though. But I did see an actual F40 in Kew. I think £500k at the time.

GranTurismoEra Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 The hype will soon die down. Just a shame about the enablers in the name of content. People are just about getting their cars now since the proto was the first to release. Another year and a half everyone will have moved on to the next big thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 FIRST Z IN THE 9s! With the last bit of good weather in Chicagoland this weekend, the AMS team thrashed to get the Z ready for the track. Installing a set of Pure 800 turbos, as well as installing coilovers and various SPL suspension links, we had the power and the traction to push the car further at the track. Right off the trailer, the AMS Z ran a 10.15 @ 134 MPH quarter mile, so we knew the car was running well, and getting close to that 9 second pass. Despite a massive 20+ mile per hour headwind to contend with, we were able to improve our time to a few 10.0X runs, and then finally clinched a 9.92@137 MPH pass! This makes it the first new Z to break the 9 second quarter mile barrier, all while still utilizing the stock engine and transmission! 🤯 9.92 @ 137 MPH 1/4 Mile 2.46 0-60 MPH 6.32 60-130 MPH Appx. 700 WHP We plan to get the car onto the dyno this week to get a proper wheel horsepower number, but we estimate the car to be capable of ~700 WHP on our Dynojet. We were able to get preliminary Mustang Dyno numbers of 638 whp, already making it the highest horsepower Z on the 🌎 A huge thank you is in order to Brandon at Geared Up Motorsports for getting us set up on his alignment rack and dyno last minute on Saturday night. We couldn't have made it to the track the next morning without his help! 𝗠𝗼𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁 AMS Intakes (Prototype) AMS Heat Exchanger (Prototype) AMS Full Exhaust incl. Downturns AMS VR30 Intercoolers AMS Flex Fuel Kit (Prototype) AMS RA405 High Pressure Fuel Pump AMS Low Pressure Fuel Pump AMS Inline Fuel Filter AMS Fuel Pressure Sensor AMS Stage 2 VR30 Injectors (Prototype) Pure 800 Turbos Coilovers and Misc. SPL Suspension Links Hoosier 28" D06 Tires AMS e85 Flex Fuel Tune Impressive for 700 WHP!! On a stock block albeit ticking time bomb.

GranTurismoEra Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 As predicted new protos have started appearing on dealer sites in Japan at £68-£100,000 pounds. So within a year there should be some some 6-8 million Yen Zeds. Reality usually hits when the hype dies down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
