I've had my GTR for over a week now and it's just so much damn fun. It's lightning quick and there are so many after market tuners out there it's going to be just as much fun learning how to mod the car than it is driving it. I noticed there were a couple of tuning options out there, namely AMS and Switzer. Those seem to be the most popular ones.
As you guys know the GTR already has massive acceleration power. As seen on youtube even a stock 2012 can outpace many exotic cars twice it's price. But after about 3/4 of a mile to a mile, the GTR starts losing its legs. Anybody else notice this? Most cars lose to the GTR in a drag race simply because there's just not enough track. Races that go over a mile usually has the other cars outpacing the GTR. I realize the GTR is not a drag racing supercar and it's bread-and-butter is it's ability to corner and accelerate out of those corners on a track, but...
I live in Germany and you'd be surprised how often you get the chance to reach top speed or to get pretty damn close to it, even on public roads. Me and all the other 911's out there. My question is what's the best tuning that will increase my overall top speed, or at least get me to about 250kph the quickest? I don't know much about engines, but what I've learned is that torque compensates on the low end but as gears and RPM's get higher this is where horsepower counts the most. So should I be looking to get the most horsepower out of my tuning purchases in the future or should I be looking at other things?
Thanks
