[supertrex2]

He can use the car to get grocery aswell

[91blazenelle]

All yall have 2 remember that the Gt-R is basiclly and Automatic too so that extremely impressive

[skateblklabel]

That was beautiful

[HEMI503]

how HP ??!

[TASKF0RC3GH0ST]

@HEMI503 1200 hp

[lentejTV9]

@HEMI503 30,000 hp

[BlkEkEx]

oh shit SCV REPRESENT!

[landonstephens9]

It does that with backseats, I've seen better, but damn that is impressive

[TheNiqqers]

i do like it black

[thenikoxgtr]

actualisation to the computer man,go to 250 mph !!!!

[mmenil1]

Does anyone know if the roll cage bar right in between the driver and the rear seats is removable in case the driver wants to bring along more people.

Also, how come the driver did not remove the rear seats, it will lighten the load by a few more pounds, it can give him at least a few more milliseconds shaved off the 0-60 time.

[cmaszerowski]

You know u have serious horsepower when spinning the wheels in awd.

[civicnation27]

awd spinning 3rd....serious

[zeekdavis11]

@civicnation27 and its awd lol 

[kg35tt]

1130awhp gtr can't hit 220? I've seen vipers and supras hitting 220 with only 1000whp. I'm pretty sure the gtr gets to the finish line first though.

[BlueRice]

@kg35tt it seem weird right? you have to do the math to understand the time it takes plus the distance to understand why its 216mph. here's a scenero where i see a civic doing 126mph and sti did 118mph. at 1/4 mile. it sound like the civic beat the sti in this case but actually the sti beat the civic way earlier.

now you understand that because the civic didnt have no traction in the beginning so it had time to gain speed. you get my drift?

[thenikoxgtr]

@kg35tt its the weight man

[AjViShus]

I respect the willingness to make a 1/4 monster into a mile king.. but imo its like training a a small doberman to be a fighting dog against 150 lb pit bulls and German shepherds. It weighs 3800lbs its not a lightweight, even with CF parts and lightweight seats she's still a heavy mutha'ucka. #2 displacement... against Ford GT, Lambo, etc its harder for companies to extract 1500+whp that it needs to set records... if the AMS blew up at 1200hp its almost unthinkable to last long at 1500.

[Tofuman924]

did it just spin all four wheels at :37?

[XamZol]

[elchicoboy]

It's too bad only real tuners, tune this GTR just because its the skyline's "predecessor". I bet they wouldn't tune a v6 from a ford escape....

[DANKNUGREVIEWS]

@elchicoboy who would want to build a escape!?!/!/!?!

[elchicoboy]

@DANKNUGREVIEWS Well building a Ford Escape would be a lot fun and better than building a buick lesabre. search on youtube someone tune a buick lesabre and they've supercharged it. its ridiculous...

[stylinwiley]

wider tires and better catch on 2ed and you could have done 220 or better 

[thenikoxgtr]

the GTR with actualisation of the computer can make more than 240 mph *-*

[Thomas22may]

what on earth is under the hood that make all 4 wheels chirp when changing to second and a bit of 3rd!! 10/10 for this video

[xjohnnyxriverra]

how much hp does the GT_R has?

[tinleo333]

this is a launch that rwd car cannot experience without huge sliks

[bengalsfan312]

As a z06 owner/lover this is sick!

[squidgymop1]

cant believe trolls haven't disliked this yet

[PerformanceCars1FCH1]

@squidgymop1 dont call attention to them now some one will dislike it... that is youtube logic unfortunatly

[13sfaustino]

If they took the wing off from the back, they could''ve gotten faster, unless that downforce was nescessary for traction off the line

[JEHAB1]

love this car

[brendanR94]

wow love all the comments here, there's no car haters

[zanjani13]

I love GTR`s.

[Seventh7Art]

Let's make things clear right now. The car is obviously on low boost. Another GTR with only 840 whp reached 210, that day. 216 requires no more than 900-950 whp.

Next March you will probably see a 1500 whp GTR. That car will aim at 250 mph. Mark my words....

[TurboGSR96]

@Seventh7Art Why would AMS come out an state just slightly under 1200awhp and lie about it then? They are dialing them back because they are obviously concerned with the motor staying together during a 20+sec WOT pass, you think they are just going to magically be able to hold 300 more awhp next year? Your dreamin they need a new block.

[iPROFITDON]

@TurboGSR96 Aren't they already running a blueprinted block in this shop car? Thought the stock one cracked after the last nationals.

[TurboGSR96]

@iPROFITDON what performance motor isn't "blueprinted"? Not sure what your meaning of the word is but that is just technically assuring all parts are weight the same and clearances all set to spec's for w/e the engine will be used for. AMS is still using Nissan's Block that has been resleeved and AMS does what I am assuming is reinforcing the block, they have not stated what exactly they do.

Wouldnt you agree that the integrity of the motor would be #1 concern to AMS in front of all these cam's

[iPROFITDON]

@TurboGSR96 Good point! I know Heffners is running a stock block in their 2000rwhp GT, then again those 5.4s are on a different level. If I'm not mistaken ARTs Viper block is also stock, but sleeved. You're right, AMS is using a sleeved 4.0. They and Switzer have both cracked the stock blocks in their push for more power. I can't recall the problem the Alpha in Moscow had when it "blew". It would hurt AMS' rep a bit to watch one blow at the mile, but it happens and they're not hiding it.

[TurboGSR96]

@iPROFITDON I am not a fan of any import V6 engine, I grew up around the Buick 3.8 turbo's and they are still to this day the baddest V6 ever.... the import Inline's we all know are insanely strong Gas Motorsports has made over 2000hp on them. I would have to say even though we have already reached power levels that make the physical casting fail in the GTR it still has potential, and you dont get the lag that you get in the Supra's and old GTR's especially when sleeved and 4.0L.

[iPROFITDON]

@TurboGSR96 I'm not what you'd call a fan either, but I do understand they have potential. I agree the Buick's 3.8 was and is the baddest V6 on the planet to this day. Inline's in general are insanely strong, look at semi trucks. I'm just wondering how much further they can push these blocks when they are already having trouble holding together. I believe BL is running a sleeved 4.3L now, be interesting to see how it holds up. 1300whp seems to be the barrier to break atm.

[TurboGSR96]

@iPROFITDON 4.3L is a big step up from a 3.8L block, has to have one hell of a long stroke crank in it if its even possible on the OEM block... it wont rev no where near what this car revs to thats for sure, sounds more of a track oriented car then a drag/acceleration setup.

As far as I know AMS is the only one reinforcing blocks and keeping them together, the Switzer R1k was "released" first and where are they all at? lol

[iPROFITDON]

@TurboGSR96 4.3L is indeed a bit step up. I don't think any GTR actualy revs out like this Alpha 12 does, even Switzer's builds. This thing sounds mental in car, better than it does from the outside if you ask me.

That R1K is running a factory 3.8L block unsleeved I believe. Not sure about the R1K-X. Where are they? I've yet to even hear about one except the one that ran like shit at the unlim 500+ Seems nobody really goes past the P850 lol wonder why.

[TurboGSR96]

@iPROFITDON the incar video's of these runs are up, car sounds so nasty inside.

[iPROFITDON]

@Seventh7Art I highly doubt they will hit the mile with 1500whp, these engines aren't holding together well enough with the current power level to allow that. The Alpha 12 in moscow blew up at that mile event running 1200whp IIRC.

[dbzgt545]

Now, this is one sick ride bro. Awesome footage bro.



[gtr812]

This GTR is different from the one that ran 8s. It's the same alpha 12 AMS package though. It's being build for the 1/4 mile so I think it's still impressive that it was able to hit 216mph. Congrats to AMS performance!

[FerrariLamborghini25]

@gtr812 but it cant be daily driven.

[TurboGSR96]

Fucker sounds angry, Godzilla!

[Vert344]

This is a Street moddel AMS GTR right? Cause the one drag one that ran the 8sec pass didn't have the spoiler.

[blazzing4321]

That GTR wouldnt be going no where without some american tuning :P

[nrajcoomar]

@blazzing4321 Ironically thats true, i taught the Japs would have been all over this car based on the history of the previous GTRs like the R33, R34, R32 props up to Switzer Performance and AMS Tuning,

[idontcare80]

@blazzing4321 Yeah, because GT-Rs aren't some of the fastest accelerating vehicles on the planet from the factory.

[W33Dblazer]

there fast as fuck in the first 4/5 gears but in top end is where they get fucked

[nrajcoomar]

@W33Dblazer Thats True, cause from Gear 1 to 4 they are geared very closely, 5 and 6 gets tall

[TexasAceAA]

This is the 1500hp GTR right? Not bad but honestly I expected it to at least be in the 220's with that kind of power and traction.

Heck the 1800whp camaro was in the 140's with a lot less traction.

Is the GTR areo really that bad?

Still an AMAZING car and i would so have one if i could afford it.

[kageryu311]

@TexasAceAA Its not that the aero is bad. The drag coefficient on a stock GT-R is .27 which is actually better than a C6 Z06. The problem is gearing. The stock gearing limits the car from hitting really high standing mile times. When the gearing gets adjusted it should see over 220's easily.

[tangledline]

@kageryu311 Drag Coefficient is only off by .3-.5. Not a significant difference, however comparing a 4wd to a 2wd...you have to give the 2wd credit for placing numbers with less traction ability. The GTR is a fine car but just imagine if the Corvette was 4WD...lol. Awesome.

[kageryu311]

@tangledline Like I said before is mostly gearing that's the GT-R's issue in getting high standing mile speeds.

[TurboGSR96]

@kageryu311 without more power, unlikely to go much over 220mph, FYI SW's Supra went 246 with 1295whp...

[kageryu311]

@TurboGSR96 It had plenty of power to do 220mph.I'm not saying it will hit in the 230's but it will see in the 220's with better gearing.

[TurboGSR96]

@kageryu311 I honestly dont think so, the Alpha 12's make power high in their powerband this car would pull like a raped ape until it buried 6th gear on the limiter, and nobody stated it was on the limiter so longer gearing isnt going to magically make it go faster.... it needs more power because the aero certainly isnt holding it back either according to the numbers.

[LS7TT]

@kageryu311 Ya but this GTR isn't on stock gears anymore...

[kageryu311]

@LS7TT All of the gears ratios are stock except for the final drive.

[LS7TT]

@kageryu311 never understood why youd keep stock ratios on dog gears. The 8 sec car can't be on stock ratios if it's going 170 by the end of the 1/4?

[kageryu311]

@LS7TT The 8 second AMS car is just a built GR6 trans. The ratios on that are so short that they should allow the car to run 170 in the 1/4

[LS7TT]

@kageryu311 The GR6s they use are built by John Shepard not exactly just another built trans the only one that holds lol. Just don't get how the car will go 170s in the 1/4 and not go 220+ at least in the mile but makes sense since this one is on stock gearing and the drag car isn't.

[12389h]

@kageryu311 Also I think the shape of the GT-R is made for downforce, so the faster your going the more your car is sticking to the ground. But 216mph is still very impressive.

[Seventh7Art]

@TexasAceAA This is a 1200 whp GTR and reached 216.9 mph because of headwing and gearing limitations. In ideal conditions it would run 225 I believe.

[nrajcoomar]

@TexasAceAA at that HP levels there is a Ford GT TT that clocked 260+

[TurboGSR96]

@nrajcoomar ummm, no... the car that went 266 at the tracked with the goofy timing system was making slightly more that 2000whp, this GTR is putting down slightly under 1200awhp.....

[TurboGSR96]

@TexasAceAA slightly under 1200awhp, AMS's 8.97 car was making 1360awhp...this car cant go much faster without gearing changes anyway, only reason it hit 216 is with a higher redline.

[2003SCT]

He's like the only car I have seen launch hard here...most of the really powerful vehicles have to pussyfoot it for the first couple of seconds or so to be able to hook up. Not near the fastest time out here but a decent showing.

[venomws6]

Baddest GTR on the planet !!!! Great work AMS congrats ..

8sec 1/4 , 216mph in 1 mile and STREET CAR...

[ssinan001]

FAAAST

[tat2titan]

WOW! That GTR sounds amazing!!!
