The GTTT in action at GIR



Remember the "GTTT"? Sunday afternoon, it made an appearance at the road course at Gainesville International Raceway for a private track event. Wearing some new black stripes and flames, the GTTT was unloaded off a massive Stage 6 Motorsports trailer at the entrance of the track. The car had been on this track before, but this was the first time in twin turbo trim, which has now put down 1181 horsepower on a built motor and upgraded fuel system.



According to Sav Charudattan, who drove the GTTT at 17 pounds of boost for one 10-minute session, the car is still just as easy to drive as it was at the 600 horsepower level. Due to the Hoosier R6 race tires on the rear, the car hooks up relatively well, but understeers in the corners similar to an AWD car, he said. It now makes somewhere between 700 and 750 at this boost level. At 20 pounds, it's closer to 900 horsepower. The car is noticeably more loose on the track when the boost is turned up. The car was just showcased at SEMA by SCT, but the GTTT doesn't belong in a booth, it belongs on the track or street.
