Not the worlds quickest and fastest GTR....(maybe quickest, only for R35's)

There have been GTRs running on the streets of Japan for years that can run 9's( What I mean is, street registered cars)..... and here's one that runs 7'shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46ovPtkNoxQ

That's an R33, and in the debate of the article writers, some claim the Skyline GTR and GTR are different :-P

We're just talking about R35s here, we know the older skyline MONSTERS are crazy nuts!!!!

Skyline GTR..... GTR...

A GT-R is a GT-R.....They missed out by 2 seconds....... and 8 years.

*arms folded, not impressed yet, cause the R35 runs 11's from stock.

Way cool.....if I had the money I would def get that car. Speaking of AMS I've got a couple of questions.

1. Why does the AMS GTR have a NY license plate if they're from Illinois?(Customer car?)

2. What happened to Ivan Phipps. Does he still work for them? Since I left the 240sx ka-t scene a few years back I remember him being very active with his 240sx. His work with that motor was nothing short of groundbreaking. Just the other day I was getting nostalgic and tried to dig up as much latest info as I could to no avail. Is he still there? AMS still has his car up on their site and they do make a nice distinction of his achievements on their "company" page.

3. Wasn't WDRacing and Ivan going to have a friendly challenge and then well if you've been here long enough you know what happened. Did Ivan leave once WD returned?

Anybody have answers?

Would you be impressed if I told you that this R35 did it on stock block AND the full stock weight of the car?

I remember always seeing the crazy GTR builds in Japan for each successive generation of the car.

The HKS Drag R32, the 1200hp Top Secret R33, etc.

It's cool that for the first generation of GTR sold in the US, a US tuner holds the title of fastest GTR for at least awhile.

Dammit Tito, how many times do I have to remind you to release them from your sex contraption when you're done with them? One of these days, you're going to kill someone.

I haven't spoken to him since last winter or so. He built my KA 2 years ago. I know that he was working pretty hard on the Genesis platform last year.

Fact of the matter is this, your car doesn't run 9s, there's does. Enjoy the video and stop arguing dammit.

He won't be working with AMS in the future. His sister passed away so he's heading back home and work for a Jaquar dealership. He been working on this S30 with 2JZ on HybridZ...check it out, pretty insane work.
