Tedious Thursdays Equals Drag Strip Action from Russia

Kill some time with some a few solid drag races, featuring a Nissan GT-R, Porsche 911 Turbo, two Mercedes and two Audis.

Thursday afternoons can be a bit bland, so we thought we would share with you a few spicy drag races. Filmed on our favorite Russian drag strip Moscow Unlim, each car competing in these races has been tuned quite significantly. The first match-up is a classic mismatch and the only (obvious) blowout. A Mk 2 Nissan GT-R featuring a Stage 2 tune from ECUTEK, rated at 670hp, competes against a 950hp 997-series Porsche 911 Turbo by Promotive.

The Porsche is placed in the Super Sport category while the GT-R is in the Sport Car class. The winner? Cue Bryce Harper voice "Clown question bro." The second race pits a pair of Audi RS6s head-to-head. The black car has a Stage 2 tune from Sportmile while the Blue and black model features a Stage 2 tune from Evotech. They rate 770hp and 750hp, respectively. Remember, all Stage 2 tunings aren't created equal. The final race features a Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG rated at 612hp against a CLS63 AMG with Stage 2 tuning from PP-Perf. The CLS63 AMG is rated at 680hp.

So who are the big winners at the rainy racing day in Russia? Take a look at the action below.
