Godzilla in Sepang

13th June

Went to Sepang after making arrangements to shoot superbike again, but it turned out to be a no show by the bikers. It looked like a lost day and wasted petrol when this fella came roaring down the track....


According to Wiki, The Nissan GT-R is powered by the VR38DETT engine, a 3,799 cc (3.8 L; 231.8 cu in) DOHC V6. Production vehicles produce a manufacturer-claimed engine output of 480 hp. Nissan claims the GT-R can reach a top speed of 309 km/h. It has been tested to achieve 0-60 mph as low as 3.2 seconds with "launch control"and 3.9 seconds without. This road rocket earned itself a rather fitting nickname of "Godzilla".

How much would those sort of performance cost you on the Malaysian road? Be prepared to cough up above RM600k, excluding road tax and insurance.

While the rest of us would be dreaming about what we would do if we ever had that amount of money; some fortunate souls have no such worries. Instead he is just worrying if he can stick the Godzilla on the black stuff and avoid going home on a tow truck.


Slow shutter attempt at 1/10sec exposure


While the Godzilla would be a tad to extreme for my taste, this fella here is a bit more down to Earth but no less exciting. The Subaru Imprezza WRX or "Scooby" as the fanboys call it, this car acheived cult status back when Collin McRae was winning everything in the WRC. Sensible pricing plus out of this world performance made this a petrol head's living wet dream.




Subaru are meant to be driven as aggressive as possible. Racing lines are boring, go sideways...


It may not be faster, but it's so damn cool..


Subaru drivers are a fun bunch. Here's another Scobby having an Evo X for afternoon tea..


While the others were having fun, along came this fella. Nothing like a slow leisure drive. Honestly, i think continental look much better parked in front of Zouk or some other hot club. Not on a race track and not driven like this.
