  • 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 Alpha Omega Nissan GT-R – 1/4 mile in 7.98 seconds with 299 km/h

    AMS Performance did it again! The tuning company proved that they are the best in tuning probably the most successful drag race car in the world – Nissan GT-R.

    Their Alpha Omega Nissan GT-R managed to run ¼ mile in 7.984 seconds with a terminal speed of 299 km/h (186 mph). So the tuning company is home of the first 9, 8 and 7 second R35 GT-R.

    The record came two days after Omega reclaimed the ET and trap speed records (8.25 seconds with 185 mph)  and was accomplished on the first and only pass Omega made that day.  The team came back at the track, because they were sure that the mighty Omega GT-R can beat that time and it did.

    There are a lot drag racing cars in 7 seconds, but the spectacular here is that the OMEGA is a full street legal car with power of around 1700 and 1800WHP.

    The speedometer is not able to keep up with the rate of acceleration, that’s why the digital one gets only to 178 mph.
