AMS Nissan GT-R Rotates Earth Backwards

Catastrophic news today, as gravity was cancelled and the earth's polarity reversed.  There were earthquakes in Missouri, land slides in Alaska, and the wind blew upwards in China.  What's responsible for this mass destruction?  Tuner AMS's wanton disregard for the laws of physics, demostrated by their Alpha Omega Nissan GT-R.

While a regular Nissan GT-R is no slouch - 530 horsepower, 0-60 in under 3 seconds with launch control activated, capable of shaming Ferraris and Porsches everywhere - imagining one with three times the power is a little difficult.

AMS offers staged packages of performance upgrades for the GT-R: Alpha 6, 9, and 12, each representing how much horsepower they make.  After breaking records with the relatively tame Alpha 12 (216mph in the standing mile at last October's Texas Mile), where do they go from here?  This is the Alpha Omega, the baddest GT-R that AMS can put together, running a scarcely believable 8.63 second quarter mile - with a trap speed of 173.8 miles per hour at TX2K12.  How do you get a 4,000lb car to run the quarter mile this fast?  Well, with a  lot of power.

1,602 wheel horsepower and 1,150lb-ft of torque, to be precise.

That's a good chunk faster than their previous best effort, an 8.97 with an Alpha 12 on race gas.  Considering the Alpha 12 makes just over 1200whp on C16 and just over 1000whp on pump gas, they might be reaching the point of diminishing returns - four tenths of a second for an additional 400whp.  Still, if there's a faster R35 GT-R in the world, I'm not aware of it.  If you do, let me know!
