  • AMS Nissan GT-R Alpha Omega – Epic History Moments and Records

    There is no doubt that Nissan GT-R is one of the best sports cars ever created. It is not only extremely fast in its factory version, but it discovers new horizons in terms of tuning and drag racing. TheRacingChannel has published a video on Youtube showing epic history moments from the creating of AMS Performance Nissan GT-R Alpha Omega to a lot of record breaks.

    The tuning company has created the first 9-,8- and 7-second Nissan GT-R and holds some other records like 60-130 mph (96-209 km/h) in 2.67 seconds and 100-150 mph (160-240 km/h) in 2.42 seconds, which are practically unbeatable.

    As a reminder, the GT-R Alpha Omega did ¼ mile in 7.984 seconds with a terminal speed of 299.33 km/h (186 mph). It also set 0-60 mph in spectacular 1.72 seconds.

    Still, the tuned GT-R is completely street legal and can go in city almost unnoticed for pedestrians and police. The car doesn’t make scary noise, when its driven normally and goes smoothly even in bumper-to-bumper situations.

    We just can’t describe the atmosphere that the video is offering so… Enjoy!

  • AMS Nissan GT-R – Wolrd Record – 1/4 mile in 8.63 seconds [HD video]

    A new world record set by the monstrous AMS Nissan GT-R at ¼ mile.

    The street legal car with more than 1600HP managed to stop the clock at 8.63 seconds, when crossed the finish line at the 402 meter mark with a terminal speed of 172.15 mph (276.98 km/h). It is just insane to see a “normal” car with normal tyres do that. The parachute is much needed, because the brakes simply won’t manage too well, especially, if the AMS GT-R makes several starts.

    What is more, AMS claim that this is not the end and the tuned Nissan will set even better time. As you can see in the end of the start, the rear bumper or parts of it flew away from the car, but this wasn’t the only problem.

    Just before the finish line an intercooler pipe popped off, so the car didn’t run all the way on full boost (35 psi) and AMS promises that the next time, there will be more boost. We just can’t wait to see another record. Until then, enjoy the video below.

  • AMS Alpha 12 R35 GT-R: 1/4 mile World Record 9.05 at 166.66mph

    The Alpha 12 performance package is now fact and it boosts the mighty Nissan GT-R to whopping 1327PS (976 kW) and 1347Nm (995 lb-ft).

    The previous record with Alpha 10 was 9.33 seconds at 153mph, a now there is a new one – 9.05 at 166.66mph (267 km/h) for the Alpha 12.

    Because of the brutal power, the tuned Nissan managed to get full traction only in 5th gear, which means four-wheel spin to 4th. Nice! Still, the car looks like it is capable to go on public roads.

    So, the AMS Performance smashed their own record with the new monster drag racer. Check out the video below, where you will see a number of starts as well as dyno test of the Alpha 12.

  • Nissan GT-R Alpha 10 by AMS Performance – 1/4 mile in 9.33s – 153mph

    AMS Performance installed its Alpha 10 performance package on a Nissan GT-R and the results are amazing.  They have broken their own ¼ record with the monster vechicle. Almost everything in and outside the engine is upgraded, but this is the price for 1 100hp. Finally, they routed all that power through an Alpha 10 transmission.

    Nissan GT-R Alpha 10 did ¼ mile in 9.33 seconds at 153mph. This is 0.56 seconds better than the run from March of this year in GT-R SR850 at the TX2K10 Supra & GTR Nationals.

    Just enjoy the monster in the videos and the images. (more…)
