Welcome to the 21st century. Its no big deal. Modified EVO's and STI's have been running 9s for years. Guess that transmission isn't too weak after all.

It still sucks that you have a supercar that you have to treat gently, even on track days, to make sure it lasts. I was hoping that the 21st Century would make that go away completely.

Impressive time, If you can afford the car you can afford the tranny rebuild, maybe the tranny is beefed up?

That was done with a dodge dart 42 years ago. GT-R is still cool though.
