Description: The Oberlin, Ohio-based tuning shop has added a plethora of goodies to the GT-R, including extensive work on Godzilla's 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 that, on race fuel, now produces a mind-blowing 1,4...

Well Herr Stig... The big Fast and The Furious craze was all about the 10 second quarter mile car... I'm not big on drag racing myself... But this thing is crazy fast... Without sacrificing any of the creature comforts...
Adam, I already said, I don't know like anything about drag racing because I honestly don't like it. I was just curious if they could make it faster because I've always heard 8 sec car.
Not a lot of cars out there breaking 8's with full interior and creature comforts.
Strip it down and make it faster??? It's doing over 160mph in a quarter mile... That's nearly 3 times the speed of an average car in that same distance... That's a fast car period!
ok, so if they made this like a full blown dragger (ya I'm makin up my own words) and stripped it out and stuff then it would be a lot faster.
Das stig 9 is fast when you have actually put more weight in the car I hear for every 100 pounds it's about 1 tenth of a second added to your time
I don't know much about drag racing but isn't 9 sec not the best for a quarter mile? I always hear 8 sec car.
@Brandon. I doubt it. They added 300lbs. just in an upgraded interior! I'm sure the spoiler isn't that much more weight in comparison.
So how can I get 1,000hp out of my EcoBoost F-150 Twin Turbo V-6 again.
You guys can have your GTRs and Lambos. I want my Viper ACR.
9 secs. When I say it it sounds like 9 sex
Well for 150,000$ you can get a super car so that makes more sense then a 300,000$ Lamborghini
Wow. Amazing once more. Ugly rims though!
This is ridiculous, do want!
To me,maybe you,$300,000 is a lot of money. To someone that's legitimately in the market for a lamborghini, more often than not, probably wouldn't be comparison shopping against this gtr. But, If I had that type of money id find a way to have both.
Cody I agree this car rocks but if I had the money to burn, I'd definitely buy a lamborghini. Especially that dragon aventador that was on carbuzz recently. They look awesome and the sound that they make is incredible. For a dd tho, this gtr is it.
And Tara this car Rocks, I sorta think its silly how people spend 300 grand on a lambo when for far less you could buy a gt-r and make it one of these.
I say we write complaints to car buzz to ban Connor. He's just using this as a outlet to needlessly complain and argue..
This thing weighs 3800lbs stock plus 300 extra for this car. That's a good bit to get down the track in under 9 seconds. It seems to be one of the most comfortable and practical daily driver to do it in.
with factory options/choices.
@conner, why did you bring up 0-60 times? I didn't say anything negative about the base GTR. Basically what Kyle said, why compare a base GTR with a car that, fully loaded, costs about 5g's more than base. You can shove another 30g's into the GTR
Need to put the fatzilla on a diet and retry. Pull everything but the alternator from the engine belts, cut out all the sound deadening remove the crash bars, go fiberglass on the windows, put in a 5gal fuel cell and rerun this beast
The guy said they added 300lbs to an already heavy car. Thing needs all that hp to drop into the 8's. Not sure how dude gets away with no roll cage. Break 10's at my englistown with no cage and your out.
I'd say an 8.97 is pretty good considering a Bugatti only runs a 9.8... And I'm sure they spent far under 1.2 million on this GT-R
As many horses as a monster truck...
Depending on the motor, yes and no
Do you have any clue how much power and torque it takes to take time off once you get below 10 seconds? You act like going from a 10.8 to a 8.97 is easy.
@Miguel. You can't compare a fully loaded to a base model. Idiot. And besides 97/30 is still more than 3 :p
@ Patrick, oh I'm so sorry... since I haven't heard of the brand of razor u use u just assume it's cuz I don't shave (dumb ass)... I use gillette and I really don't pay attention to the other gazillion brands out there so sorry :)
@Patrick what are talking about? Matt ages like a dog remember?
I guess you haven't hit puberty yet Matt. You will one day.
That made NO sence and what's narelco
The exterior is awesome if you like electric razors by Norelco.
@ no pistons, that's what I meant, they did a AWESOME job with the exterior and interior!
Nvm I read that as since it has power it has a good tuning. Honestly I believe it's the characteristics of the motor/car every drag racing GTR that has over 1,000 hp and it isn't a huge gain
@No Pistons, You sir deserve a high five. I'm glad I'm not the only one who found that odd.
No that means its a horrible tuning job engineering wise. If your referring to the looks of the car then yes it looks great.
@Kyle fully loaded it's 30,000. "Yay for the jerk who corrects people?" Is it me or did you just contradict your self?
That much HP and only does 9sec?
@ no pistons, just cuz they got a lot of power out of it doesn't mean they did a good job tuning it
Almost three times the original power and it shaved 1.8 seconds off? That doesn't sound like the best power application.
Really it has 1,400hp and AWD and it can only pull a 9 sec...................yup I just went there
@ colby, the 2013 gtr runs a 1/4 in 10.8, with the zl1 @ 11.9... Idk where u got ur times from but the 2 aren't even comparable anyways
Hahaha Connor sucks at reading. He made my point for me I guess.
Are we done here. Because this is about the GTR, so....damn that's fast!
My dear God, son. Hahaha. What an amazing machine!
@miguel actually the SRT Viper is 4x as expensive (97k/23k =4). Yay for being that jerk who corrects people
This thing is sick, red and black go great together.
40G's is still a pretty big difference and thats for base GTR. You can run it up to 120. Also GTR and ZL1 are really not in the same class even with the idea of 2 door 4 seater. It's not like you can really use the back seats.
@Connor O and by the way the Viper is 3 time the price of the miata.
@Connor more like 45,000... Is it me or does Connor start arguments over the stupidest sh*t?
And btw, a stock ZL1 will destroy a stock GTR in the quarter mile. Look up their times.
@Charlie Actually it is a Plastic-Fiberglass blend which took millions of dollars to develop, far from "cheap". The car also utilizes Magnesium, Titanium, and Aluminum parts. Also it is sturdy, and doesn't dent or rust. ;)
Race it w/the 1200hp Lambo!
Woah... That's a fast GTR. I like it.
Wanna compare the Miata and Viper ACR next?
Henz the GTR costs twice and sometimes three times more than those. That wouldn't make any sense.
I dnt like that the gtr is being compared to the vettes and vipers.. I think it shud be compared to the tol camaros and mustangs because they are all 2 door 4 seaters..
A sub-7-sec four cyl? It must've broken down right after driving the quarter mile.
I don't care for the GTR that much... But this is the nicest one I think I have ever seen
This is the same guy that also has a 7 second Talon. Not bad for a 4 cylinder.
I'm just busting everyones balls. This GTR is one of the better looking ones I've seen on here.
@ Patrick, the gtr hasn't been out nearly as long as the z06 and not nearly as many people have tuned one so its kinda expected a z06 would have a better time, people have more experience with em
@colby That's no street legal vett
@william you weren't kidding...it's beautiful...
Tyler, you do know that fiber glass is made from plastic right?
More important news is out, the p1 has been fully shown
I saw a guy on Facebook post a 8 second quarter mile
@Charlie. Actually the Vette is made from fiberglass. Don't believe everything you hear on Top Gear
This things a beast, but you guys should really do an article on Rod Saboury's 1963 Corvette Stingwray. It's the fastest street legal car in the world. 6.9 sec quarter mile at like 225 mph I believe. Sub 1 second 0-60. A real monster, It's insane.
Sorry...sub 9 second car, even more surprising.
I'm surprised not to see a roll cage in a sub 10 second car.
Yeah Patrick, cheap plastic is pretty lightweight..
Wooow that's so freakin fast. Let's kick the bugatti's ass
Of course.. Someone has to bring up a z06 in a gtr thread..
Saw that a Z06 did a 7.4 at LS fest. Suck it.
Thank you Carbuzz for actually posting a tuned GT-R worth reading about.
