Description: An AMS GT-R showed up at the Lonestar Motorsports Park during the TX2K12 event and absolutely destroyed the drag strip. Tearing off the line, the GT-R's world record pass was timed at 8.63 second...Add Comments93
Fabian PioroMar 27, 2012 Ether it will be 3 times the price or 3 times slower! Both gtr and skylines where built on technology, that's the soul. Bigger,faster,stronger.
Josh MoakMar 23, 2012 to me this car is an amazing piece of engineering. its not only fast in the strait line, but it also gives four wheel drive cars a run for their money on the cornering. if your not careful it will snap your back with the amazing grip it has.
quadrophineMar 22, 2012 also to say the car has no soul is ridiculous. the soul is an esoteric value we place on human life and as history proves is likely as nonexistent in humans as it is in cars. to the gtr hater haters out there ill say, its quick off the lot, but they goofed somewhere. if it was 50 k I might consider it but still probably not. there are better looking and just plain better cars out there we mus...
quadrophineMar 22, 2012 It goes right up my ass when people say "its amazing they got that Much power from a v6"
jaguar got 550 from a v6 over 20 years ago. with a solid built there's really no ceiling. if you have the money to throw at a vtwin you could see them making 1000+ hp. the gtr isn't evolution its convolution. its a short bus that's why the drivers where helmets
Trent FialaMar 22, 2012 @Fordfan Yeah so what! Who cares
Trent FialaMar 22, 2012 @Rani I'm not talking to you so it's your fault you read it Haha
Tofu YangMar 21, 2012 I'm pretty sure it was the underbody diffuser
Rúni Rasmus StensenMar 21, 2012 @Trent, if you don't care about what he says then why are you so upset? Makes no sense!
Jose Alfonso MaciasMar 20, 2012 Actually justin was the one trying to compare the gnx... Completely different cars so it's pointless. Anything can be made to go fast in a straight line... Trying to get cars to go around a road course fast is a little bit harder to achieve with just any car. So gnx and gtr is a retarded comparison. And people this article is referring to a gtr time, not all world records. Might help if it sp...
Patrick SchalkMar 20, 2012 Corbin if you're seriously comparing a GNX to a modern day GTR, you need to get your head checked.
Trent FialaMar 20, 2012 It's not just for drag racing, look at the license plate Haha But I don't see why you'd drive it on the street anyways
Lee CascioMar 20, 2012 Shepard racing has a 91 eagle talon that is quicker and it has 2 less cylinders and 1 less turbo...just sayin.
Danny ScottMar 20, 2012 Well yeah.. I'm sure it's set up for drag only... Hence the parachute..
Justin CarterMar 20, 2012 Pretty sure this guy here isn't nimble around corners
Andrew WilkinsonMar 20, 2012 You can't respect it bc someone made it better? That makes no sense
Tin NguyenMar 20, 2012 I still think it has a lot of bang for the buck. It's a great performer with affordability price tag but the styling doesn't do it for me.
Tin NguyenMar 20, 2012 Even if you don't like the car give it some respect. The engineering on this car is amazing. If I have $80k I would get something different (not necessarily better/faster). I just don't like this styling.
Steve JohnsonMar 20, 2012 I'm not a fan of this thing but you gotta hand it to the GTR's performance.
Corbin EnglundMar 20, 2012 @justin get that GNX on a road course and see what happens. It'll find every wall on the course....
Justin CarterMar 20, 2012 1 Get another driver, r/t is horrible
2 not a fanboy, just putting it out there: GNX's ran in the 6's with v-6's decades ago with rwd, and a LOT less tech. I'm still waiting for any foreign supercar to come close to real drag racing cars. Somebody has to be rich and stupid enough to go hard
Dillon DixonMar 20, 2012 Turning all the assists off can void the warranty, by the way.
Kevin IrishMar 20, 2012 I know the assists can be turned off, but that would be a huge mistake if you ever wanted to drive it like this.
Graham BrowneMar 20, 2012 The GTR is a stand alone model and not a Skyline, the Skyline is a completely different car. Just saying. Lol
Marthy GajardoMar 20, 2012 They seriously called it a skyline? Guess they dont read up or know about the car!
Danny ScottMar 20, 2012 If the assists can be turned off... Why are kids crying about them??? Oh wait it's just a bunch of uneducated kids trying to Hate on something they don't understand....
Skylar GroutMar 20, 2012 American tuners =the best but kelly bise now has competition
Diego PasottiMar 20, 2012 Well obviously this isn't a stock GT-R... The title should read world record for the fastest GT-R.
Dillon MageeMar 20, 2012 What's the world record for a stock car? I know the Veyron SS will do high 9's.
Diego PasottiMar 19, 2012 That's not the world record!
Patrick SchalkMar 19, 2012 Hightechcorvette will post anything that's fast. They post Supras, G8s, GTR, or whatever they get on video.
Jennings RengelMar 19, 2012 Look at how that driver struggled to keep it under control off the line. Absolutely no way you could keep that thing on the road without the e-assists.
Ethan AmoMar 19, 2012 Strange how it says high tech corvette...and it has a video of a GT-R
Kevin IrishMar 19, 2012 not guide them.
And as for hating, I'm not. I respect the amount of energy and engineering that went into this beast, as well as the Juke-R. But I wouldn't own one. I hate Porsche, so I don't read any of those articles or comment them, trying to cause an argument. Saves a lot of BS
Kevin IrishMar 19, 2012 Dang, that's quick.
I wouldn't mind a car with less electronic assists, though. I prefer a true mechanical limited slip differential over electronic torque vectoring, which uses an open differential and just clamps the brakes of the wheel with less traction. Yes, it works, but I prefer the "old school" way of doing things.
So I can see where Fordfan is coming from. Without all the assists, the G...
Jerry ColeMar 19, 2012 Lmao, you can get the ass loose of a GTR with ease, and it powerslides pretty good might I add.
Brady FeredayMar 19, 2012 Fordfan your an idiot did you not see the video with Matt farrah and the race in the phillipens that gtr got side ways well and you can turn all those assists off you can in the ZR1 viper hell in my Z I can turn off my comp assists
Nicholas TrikounakisMar 19, 2012 And the evo has one of the most sophisticated AWD systems in the world... If you think that car has no computer help you know nothing about cars
Nicholas TrikounakisMar 19, 2012 Who think they can drive and push a car to hard. Just be happy and enjoy the fact that this car is putting 1500ho to the pavement with minimal wheel spin... Thats amazing
Nicholas TrikounakisMar 19, 2012 Ford fan you have never driven a GTR , bc if you had you would know that you can most def get the ass loose. All modern quality cars have computer assists... It's called evolution. There is a reason they are made, to save people like yourself
Devin BabynMar 19, 2012 The 400hp Evo is nutty. Surprised there's never been anything on it
Das StigMar 19, 2012 Oh! I just thought of one! The evo! Right...
Jose Alfonso MaciasMar 19, 2012 Yes this car may have alot of computer assisted stuff going on which in some ways takes away from the driving experience. But remember it was built this way for a reason, to be as fast as it is with a V6 and awd... And for the price... Pretty damn good. And someone tell me which production car now doesn't have computers working with it... Not One! So just let it be, it's doing what it's me...
Matt PiccoloMar 19, 2012 I've seen supras doing mid-low 7's... Their was one in the mid sixes but u could tell it had an engine swap
rockstarTcMar 19, 2012 Well obviously your crappy eclipse isnt a viper, but im glad your able to figure that out on your own. I have no clue how you are so thick and close minded to think this isnt a drivers car?! It is used by many racing teams as a GT car, and it is one of the fastest car on the ring, how is that not a drivers car?! Dude get a life and stop trolling on this car cause you know your wrong.
Dillon DixonMar 19, 2012 Behind it but the new one doesn't seem to have much to do with the older ones. It can only do what it can do bc of the computers in it. That's how I see it.
Dillon DixonMar 19, 2012 Why do you people love the GTR so much? All of you act like its the best car out there and it's got it's AWD and it's V6 and 2.5sec 0-60.
I personally think its a great car but it doesn't seem to have much of a soul. I know it has a history.....
rockstarTcMar 19, 2012 Also the record is for the fastest GTR, and its been a record for awhile so i dont know why they just reported it. Also remember it is a V6 which is crazy to be that fast. GO AMS!!
Douglas OrellanaMar 19, 2012 I dont understand why people who dont like a certain car still read and comment about it. Its like if you dont like the Nissan GTR then dont read the article cause it makes you look like an ass!!
rockstarTcMar 19, 2012 fordfan you like driver cars?? you had a girly eclipse, which means you dont even know what a driver car is!
Zaire WilkinsMar 19, 2012 best,fastest,sexiest V6 supercar in the world not this one tho the ones u see at the auto show (Ny) which im going to
Nick SteigerMar 19, 2012 I have to say I am not impressed. A parachute on a Nissan? I could take a 502 Yenko Chevelle put it on steroids and do the same thing just with more noise. There are too many electronics in that vehicle to call it a car anyway.
Jackson RojasMar 19, 2012 It's highly tuned, any "tuned to the max" car would show awesome performance. Any car could get tuned
Abraham MendozaMar 19, 2012 I don't like the fact that the factory voids the warranty if you turn off the traction control. It feels as if its no fun, like you can't get it to misbehave. And the fact that the tires a filled with nitrogen.I like it, but I wouldn't want one.
Bob JonesMar 19, 2012 Maybe it's the world record for 6 cylinders?
Matthew ReindorpMar 19, 2012 Haha see @Fordfan you are one of a very rare breed of strange creatures that hates the GT-R for no reason other than it's great! That. Makes.no.sense!
Clint EdwardsMar 19, 2012 Good time, no denying that. I still don't want one though.
Josh NegronMar 19, 2012 Record for the GTR... That's what the article is talking about!
Jakob-Kyle GilbertMar 19, 2012 The god of the drag strip is a top fuel dragster. but the gtr is a good looking car and it was a fast time :) me no hating
No PistonsMar 19, 2012 @fordfan
Still whining like a little kid while remaining oblivious to facts and factual evidence besides your own clouded opinion I see
James StevensMar 19, 2012 Record for the gtr....not the supra or viper or rest of the world. So chill, 10000X better thn all ur cars anyway. Better thn mine too but I'm not hating...
Gib TerwilligerMar 19, 2012 a viper did it in 7.99 its on youtube
Mario CallirgosMar 19, 2012 Porsche and jaguar have 6 s that make over 540 and have both been tuned
Byakka HirakawaMar 19, 2012 And if ur going to hate
Just dont read the article
And dont comment
Byakka HirakawaMar 19, 2012 "better than wat they really r"?
Id like to c another company come out with a 6 cylinder super car like that
Pablo HerasmeMar 19, 2012 For the haters look at the Buzzscore of the GTR and come back at me bro
Mikey JimenezMar 19, 2012 Just seen (on YouTube) a twin turbo charged viper do 7.98 @ 183! So what record did this beat ?
Mohammed AteeqMar 19, 2012 8.63 it says it in the first 3 seconds
Mohammed AteeqMar 19, 2012 The world record is that ig got to 172 mph in 8. Something seconds
Eli OrzechowskiMar 19, 2012 I've seen a supra run the 1/4 mile in the mid 7s at 185 mph
Pablo HerasmeMar 19, 2012 It would have been faster if it wasn't for the launch.
Matthew ReindorpMar 19, 2012 And this is the alpha 12 package which has just over 1500hp and you can actually buy this for a stock R35 haha EPIC it's quite expensive though, something like 250k but for that much it's pretty fair for a monstrous drag car which is also road legal!
Matthew ReindorpMar 19, 2012 Haha awww FordFan you really need to give up on hating the GT-R you truly are the only one who really hates it and you need to wake up and see the true immenseness of this car
Danny ScottMar 19, 2012 In what ways are they better?
Buddy RobinsonMar 19, 2012 Better cars? No. Prettier and more fun to drive? Possibly. The has 4wd, so I'd say 2wd will have trouble topping this
Michael KozlowskiMar 19, 2012 Props to the guy for keeping that thing tamed off the line.
Patrick SchalkMar 19, 2012 Yeah I wonder what "world record" this is. Cause I've personally seen faster cars than this. I'm guessing GTR world record
Brady FeredayMar 19, 2012 And Fordfan what would the time be for the cobra jet all the things I found say its under 10 so what like 9.99 lol
Theo HubbardMar 19, 2012 Best car in the world :) god I love Nissan
Brady FeredayMar 19, 2012 And Fordfan it's faster than that cute eclipse you owned rofl
Brady FeredayMar 19, 2012 Ya but Fordfan those are v8s remeber lol
Matt PiccoloMar 19, 2012 I swear I've sen one on YouTube running 8.02??!!??!!
Nick BenzMar 19, 2012 Hehehehe its from the hightechcorvette site.
Hendrik ReimerMar 19, 2012 Tyres don't look stock for me... But I can be wrong :)
Tara FitriaMar 19, 2012 Could it be the street legal tire record?
Igor NatsioksMar 19, 2012 Still curious about what record they beat...? In the UK there is a 2000 or so hp road legal drag car. Some American car, on pump gas I'm sure it will smoke this GTR. What criteria is this record?
Brady FeredayMar 19, 2012 Maybe the bumper came off at least the shoot stayed on though lol
Mario CallirgosMar 19, 2012 GTR record maybe the 1/4 record for vipers is 7.76 on pump
Dylan BruderMar 19, 2012 Wonder what record they broke? Pump gas maybe?
JGL ScuderiaMar 19, 2012 the veyron has no chance at all. you will need another drag car to beat this
Description: The AMS GT-R was hard to handle off the line and when the chute deployed, something definitely tore off. HighTechCorvette, the author of the video, was unsure as to what exactly came off Godzilla&apos...Add Comments7
Kyle BohneMar 19, 2012 probraly the dust shield or diffuser
Jack HowardMar 19, 2012 nevermind im an idiot its on the back
Jack HowardMar 19, 2012 the chute was probably stuffed behind the bumper and it blew the bumper off
Ronald TrinidadMar 20, 2012 Is just one of the best cars ever made, fast fast fast.
Thomas TrudzinskiMar 19, 2012 Would have liked to have seen the video from the camera on the back.
Reid HuffMar 19, 2012 I think he may be the daewoo guy because in a past of his he said that he has seen a daewoo with 1000hp
Devin BabynMar 19, 2012 I'm gonna wreck your fun and be nice to the guy.
It's just a dual exhaust, with dual tips. The dual tips are just for looks, nothing special
Charlie AustinMar 19, 2012 Yeah your right.. There are four engines, each of which has its own exhaust pipe.
Alex StanzelMar 19, 2012 I'm going with the latter. But I hope it's the former
Kenneth WilliamsMar 19, 2012 I'm thinking they already did the testing and decided this setup was best. I don't think you build an 8 second car without taking into account rather a spoiler helps or not. Otherwise it would still have mirrors
Jerry ColeMar 19, 2012 I recommend spoiler that might help the aerodynamics, and maybe even get a faster time.
Max GarciaMar 19, 2012 Nice GTR 1 -Volkswagen veyron 0
Brandon WhybrewMar 19, 2012 Illinois plates huh?! must be from north of I80 haha
