Default Sideways and a New Nissan GT-R

I had just left breakfast at a restaurant on the highway and got into the right lane, looked in the rear view to make sure nobody was coming up on me. I see a white NSX with decals all over it and a new flat black GT-R approaching quickly. I think they might have been racing. There is a red light so I take the middle lane thinking the NSX was wanting to play. The GT-R cut off the NSX and ends up next to me wanting to have a go at it.

It's game on. The light changed and we were off with the GT-R jumping ahead 4 or 5 feet off the line. At the end of first gear I was ahead of him almost a car length and at the end of second gear (75mph) I was two lengths ahead and shut down. No reason to go crazy. At the next light the guys in the NSX pulled up beside me and both gave a big enthusiastic thumbs up. They were excited to see the GT-R get whooped.

I have not posted here for a while so for those that don't know my car, it's running a built 2.0 bottom end, head work, adjusted cam timing, enlarged intake with a modified Vortech t-trim, 70mm TB, Hytech headers and custom 3 inch exhaust. The car has been lightened over 200 lbs and is running 275/45-17 RA-1 tires in the rear along with 3.90 gears.

Just thought I would share.

Nice kill! What power are you putting down now with the T trim and what boost level?

Boost is 23 psi and power is unknown. Haven't been on the dyno in two years while I have bumped the boost twice.

Would 475WHP turbo setup be enough to see off an 07GTR stock?

From a dig no, roll probably.
