This GTR was sent to Switzer with 11,371 miles on the odometer in mid April 2016. I received the car back in late
July 2016. Since I've had it back, I've put 1,318 miles on it. I have only participated in one event with it, The
Colorado Mile, only taking 7 total runs, on the first cool morning of the event, with all runs before lunch
(actually had the last run before lunch on Friday). The first 5 runs were very easy, shifting at 2K in 1st/2nd
until I hit 3rd to make a good pull to 7K for a good datalog to send back to Swizter for ECU tuning in the 1st,
2nd, and 3rd maps . I then took 2 decent runs (tickets from 2 of those runs shown in photos). I did not launch the
car at the event (haven't since I received it back from Switzer). Am I scared to? Probably. But, this event was
primarily to send datalogs from pulls back to Switzer for final ECU tuning in Colorado. So, I took it easy. I ran
in the under 200mph class (no roll bar, 5 point harness, fire system, etc.) in the full weight car. I had to back
off in both runs as not to brake out of the class limit, still did with a 203. You can check the Colorado Mile web
site for the results. You can see by the second ticket in the photo that I was quicker in the 1/4 and 1/2, but
ended slower top speed than the 203 run. I actually hit 210 at about 7/8 mile and fully let off on that run.
Didn't want to get kicked from the event. Car ran very fast being that I really didn't push it, or launch it, and
the Front Range Airport is at 5,500 feet! This car has the 13th fastest car speed at the Colorado Mile in the last
2-years (event started in 2015), but it is actually quicker as mentioned. It would easily be in the top 3-5 if it
had the safety equipment, used the R888's, actually launched the vehicle, and ran the 100 Maps as well! Beast!

37K miles in a 1967 Datsun Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014When we think of comfy, long-distance road cars, there are a few obvious choices. A Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley Continental GT or, assuming fuel efficiency isn't paramount, a Range Rover are all good options for a road trip. But what if that road trip was 37,000 miles? Maybe something more reliable but still comfortable, then, like a Honda Accord. What about a 1967 Datsun Roadster?
As insane as it sounds, Scott Fisher is doing just that, running a Datsun 1600 Roadster across North America and racking up 13,500 miles in his first three months on the road. His total journey will see him pile over 37,000 miles on his red convertible. The car is lightly modified, but most of the work is for the sake of reliability and comfort, with a five-speed manual 'box, an upgraded radiator and electronic ignition.
Fisher's trip hasn't been all smooth, with a few typical bits of trouble. He also ran into some deer in Utah, quite literally, clipping one of the animals, which delivered quite a bit of damage to the passenger's front fender (hence the rear three-quarter view in our lead shot). Still, the car seems to be holding up well, as shown in this latest video from Petrolicious.
Renault-Nissan zero-emissions car sales whir past 100,000 [w/video]
Tue, 23 Jul 2013The electric vehicle has gone gold at Renault-Nissan, clocking 100,000 sales in a three-year period that began with the first Nissan Leaf being sold in Silicon Valley, California in 2010. Since then, the Leaf has become the EV champion of the world, selling more than 71,000 units so far, the majority of those in the US. The 100,000th EV sold by the Alliance was also a Leaf and also sold in the US, but on the other side of the country, in Georgia.
By comparison, Renault has sold 30,000 electric vehicles since late 2011, looking after other segments of the EV market with the Kangoo Z.E., Zoe, Twizy and Fluence Z.E. The alliance estimates that its efforts have been driven 5.2 million ion-powered miles and saved 14 million gallons of oil since they appeared. For a bit of sobering context, the US averaged 18.83 million barrels of oil per day in 2011, which is almost 791 million gallons. Per day.
So we're getting there, albeit slowly. Quietly. There's a press release and a video below with more details on the achievement.
Modified Trabant takes on Nissan GT-R in 1/4-mile battle
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The little yellow guy in the right lane above with the "Flitzer" license plate looks like a Trabant 601 wagon and it's called a Trabant, but it's got little to do with the impoverished East German runabout that did its part to drive Communist ideals further into the ground. You'd almost be forgiven for not knowing there's a turbocharged 3.0-liter engine up front, until you have look at that rear track... and the wheelie bars in back.
So with a power-to-weight ratio akin to an LS9-powered scooter, it's no surprise that the Trabbi puts a pasting on a slightly tuned, 580-horsepower Nissan GT-R - we don't know what happened with Godzilla's shifting, but it was all over from the hole shot. It's still fun to watch, though, and you can do that in the video below.
