This 2200hp GT-R Has Smashed The Quarter-Mile Record

There’s no place like Texas for stuffing as much horsepower under your hood as humanly possible. That’s what T1 Race Development has done with Tony Palo’s R35 GT-R, which has just taken the crown of the world’s fastest quarter-mile GT-R drag record.

With an almost endless shopping list of parts, Tony’s GT-R produces around 2165hp and 1302lb ft of torque, launching it to 235mph over a half-mile strip and covering a quarter-mile in a record-breaking 7.3 seconds.

T1 Race Development has fitted a huge amount of custom and aftermarket parts to the GT-R, including stage three cylinder heads, a dry sump conversion kit and custom drag suspension, to name a few.

Unlike most production cars that have been beefed up to north of 1000bhp, Tony’s GT-R is completely road legal.

There’s still a 3.4 litre 2JZ billet block supra that runs a 5.9. You’re welcome.

Only in America they’d say this is road legal. Here you get pulled over for an air filter. Not saying it’s not cool though!!

This is clearly a fake: there is no smile brought to his face when starting the engine at the start of the video.
One does not simply keep the face grim starting such a car from the drivers seat.

…anyway.. sick car!
