if it's the vid I'm thinking of, GTR was a fully blown tuned version, see here: http://jalopnik.com/5559304/bugatti-veyron-vs-nissan-gt+r-round-2
Oh my God... Hard to believe... But do want a GT-R tuned by those wackos... Wonder how it'd performe against Underground Racing Twin Turbo Gallardos...
I would have liked to see it from a dead stop. The Bug may have had it there but, damn, that GT-R is freaking quick.
If I recall, the same guys (Switzer or whatever) were at the relative famous Königsegg airstrip to do drag races with lots of other cars. It out accelerated everything (599s, 997 Turbos++, even the tuned Porsches). Serious piece of kit and a relative sleeper. Truth is that it just looks like another Japanese sports car (like the 350Z, Hyuandai coupes++) and that can both be its strength or weakness. I want this car
I was actually trying to productively waste time by both ignoring the valid issues of my day whilst feeding my inner autophile. Stumbling across this video was the kicker. After watching this video more times than necessary, my actions were as follow: 1) Disbelief 2) Re-watch in disbelief 3) Google allot about Switzer 4) Understanding 5) Belief 6) Re-watch video 7) Disbelief 8) See step 1 ....after the better part of half an hour, I came to the realization there is something going on in the tuner community if this is possible. I'm surprised Top Secret haven't done this yet. Hard to believe it's the Buckeye's that made it possible. From a stop, I'm sure the 4wd would take the lead, but as shown, the GT-R simply has the upper-hand... Hard to believe. _J
Hmm, after going to the dragtimes youtube page I found the full video of the Bugatti racing the modded GTR. On the street the Veyron flys, it sure paints a different picture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgm2t6o6LZ8
.. The GTR is AWD as well. I do wonder if the wet road condition had anything to do with it as well. No knocking the GTR at all, you can almost always pay to get a faster car.. but how the power is put down, like you said, makes all the difference! I like your post... I did the same thing... watch, watch again..... Steve
Man oh Man....That got my blood boiling with excitement. That last white R35 GTR is something else...! But of course the Veyron is still the quickest.! Was the Veyron modified at all? Or all stock? My hats off to the tuners of that white Skyline. For the price you cannot go wrong with that GTR. I liked them both. Veyron and the GTR. Superb freeway racing!
