that GTR looked like a RWD car :snicker:

8-Second Drag Nissan GT-R
Some details on the Alpha Omega from Road & Track: LINK
https://blog.roadandtrack.com/wp-con...02-440x268.jpg Currently, the title of the quickest GT-R is held by AMS Performance. With a blisteringly quick 8.62 @ 173.81, the West Chicago-based tuning shop set the bar on March 17, 2012, at the TX2K12 event held in Texas. Known as the AMS Alpha Omega project, the GT-R is a testament to the tuning capability of AMS. After years of cutting its teeth tuning world-class Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions, AMS has transferred its all-wheel-drive knowledge to Nissans. Despite the strong showing, what’s lesser known is how the record AMS previously set was broken the day prior by another GT-R—one that’s privately owned. Hing Yim of Las Vegas, Nevada, owns no tuning shop, race team or any other sort of business related to the automotive industry. What he does own is a black 2009 Nissan GT-R and the heart of an enthusiast. He loves speed and his R35 is his passion embodied in four wheels. But when the factory performance of the V-6 VR38DETT engine wasn’t enough, Yim took his car to SP Engineering in Industry, California, to undergo its dramatic transformation. Based just outside of Los Angeles, SP Engineering is a full-service tuning shop infamous for its high-horsepower Supras and Lamborghinis. At first glance, Yim’s GT-R looks understated. With the exception of the Volk TE37SL wheels (18×9 front, 18×11 rear), drag tires (Mickey Thompson front, M&H rear) and stickers, the Nissan looks near stock. One look under hood, however, and Greddy’s influence is everywhere. From what’s visible (intake manifold, blow-off valves, intercooler piping) to what’s not (sleeves, TD06SH-20G turbos), much of the engine and turbo components have been swapped for Greddy parts. In the drivetrain, stouter PPG and Dodson gears are employed as is a Dodson clutch and OS Giken differential. For suspension, KW Clubsport coilovers replace the factory units. To make everything work, SP Engineering has handled the brunt of the installation and tuning, with Greddy, KW and Motoiq.com lending a helping hand and wrench. On March 16, 2012, Hing Yim himself staged the car at a Nevada drag strip. With no parachute or roll cage and a whole lot of horsepower and courage, he lit up the tires running an 8.793 @ 167 mph run, besting the then record of 8.975 sec. held by AMS Performance. While Yim’s glory was shortlived—a day to be exact—he is still more than elated with his GT-R’s performance. After all, bolt back in the passenger seat and some interior carpet and he can cruise the Vegas strip terrorizing sport bikes and super cars alike. But don’t think that means Yim doesn’t have his eyes set on AMS’ record. He’s working with SP Engineering on a new setup to change his status from World’s Quickest Privately-owned GT-R to just the World’s Quickest GT-R.

I want that.
|
That'd make a nice DD...
|
:thud:
an overkill IMHO but damn would love to have that car.... GTR with a basic tune and couple mods hit up 700whp and i am at content with that !!! |
You know you wont be content with it. I thought Id be happy with just an intake and exhaust :rofl:
Its the snow ball effect. Once you get 700whp, you enjoy it, then get bored. Next is 800whp, so on and so forth. |
^^^ you bet....
am very practical and since I paid my car off I have been putting a little aside for my next car....which will either be a GTR or the new Viper looks very promising....and am working on a iphone app on the side and if thats a hit, 458 baby !!! my uncle was telling me....dont jump right on top of the ladder....enjoy what a 3 series, 5 series, E class, G37s have to offer....work your wayy up....and i just dont agree with paying a car payment for the rest of my life....ya know what i mean.... but yeah once you get bored for 700, u drive the TL for 2 weeks..... LOL |
:rofl:
PS - The new Viper looks amazing in person. |

:drool:
Morgan, screw the rings man.....i would rock it :shrug: |

Texas Speed Syndicate (TSS) King of the Street event

Had to pull out after the 3rd race, dunno what is wrong yet. |
Wow. That Camaro and TA video is just a joke. :what:
|
Cool comments regarding UGR.. would love to see those two beasts go at it. Regarding smoke out the back end, could be several things, probably not catastrophic.
|
so this is a 40mph roll race?.. unfamiliar with the format.
|
in 4 seconds from 60-140mph :bow:
|
:what: If Im seing that right, they went from a 60mph roll at 17 seconds. Three seconds later they were at 140mph :thud:
EDIT - Damn you Swoosh. |
:teef:
|
@4:42 you can see the race where it all went wrong

The TT Lambos and TT Viper are no joke. :drag:
It would have been a good race if the GTR didn't break. |
|
well the GTR weighs almost 800lbs more than the Gallrdo SV.....
AMS needs to pay Inaccurate to do weight loss for them !!! |
I love how the cones look as though they are slanted because of the acceleration.
|
^^^ how did you see that ???
my cone gets slanted everytime i hear the AMS GTR !!! |
:spit:
|
I love the video of all the guys going for a ride in the GT-R and giggling. Brings you back to why we love cars in the first place.
