Drag races are always fun, especially when you have two cars that pretty much run on the same numbers. On the occasion where we find that one is vastly superior to the other, we don’t exactly see the point in having a race.
However, the Russians don’t roll like that. When they see two sports cars out on the streets, the natural inclination would be to strap up, turn the recorder on, and push the pedal to the metal.
In this video taken by Dragtimes, we have an Audi RS6 that comes with 750 horsepower running against a Nissan GT-R with 480 horsepower. It’s not exactly an even match-up, but it’s still worth watching.
What struck me at the debut in LA is how few of those with the money to buy something like this, or something much more powerful weren’t aware of the GT-R prodigal performance.
This GTR is different. It may have a ’who pays that much for a Nissan’ price tag, but still outperforms any car in its price range The 280PS restriction is now gone.
This match was very unfair. The GT-R was at a big disadvantage. If it wasn’t for the 4 wheel drive and launch control the GT-R would not have taken the lead at all.
