So...who has the fastest top speed Japanese car?
Here's the speed: 377kmh (234mph) However there's a bit more to the story. Nobody likes ties but what we were left with as we left Nardo was nearly a tie. Even worse, in both cases both cars Top Secret - Performance Engineering Serviceand Powerhouse Amuse were unable to reach their true potential due to facing the same unexpected computer error at 7500rpm in 6th gear. As a result both cars pulled to 7500rpm in 6th gear and both maxed out electronically rather than reach their potential. They had more speed in them. The Top Secret car was the winner with a speed of 377km/h whereas the Amuse car reached 373km/h.
The difference of 4km/h is attributed to slightly different final drive gear ratios between the two. Ask anyone there and we all believe they both could have passed 400km/h if not for the ECU problem. Call it a tie if you want, but the winner was ultimately Top Secret by a very small margin. Smoky remains on top as having the fastest Japanese street car ever made! We all hope to find the true potential of these cars next year with Option's next Nardo attack!

ReplyDelete[…] months ago we posted about the fastest japanese GTR, the Top Secret GTR R35, which had hit 377 km/h in Nardo […]
ReplyDeletethats not a nardo run. yes there probably are cars that exceed 377 kph but the topsecret car was at nardo and the ams gtr was not.
