Two thousand horsepower in anything is enough to do damage with. Car, truck, plane, boat, whatever…two thousand horsepower will get your attention in a hurry and if you don’t have full control when you go for the throttle, you simply will hurt yourself, badly. There’s no other way around it. At that level of power, the best drag slicks in the world only give you a chance, and a partial chance at that, of surviving the launch intact. One errant twitch of your big toe will rip the skins out from underneath you and before you know it, the scenery will be earth-sky-earth for a few rounds until you come to rest wherever you end up. That’s big-boy power, the kind that your Hellcat-worshipping friend cannot fathom. And if you’ve driven a Hellcat, you know that 707 horsepower ain’t no joke.
The GT-R 4 class at TX2K is an anything-goes, bring your baddest class. It is literally an unlimited class for those who simply want to annihilate the traps with a pace that better resembles an aircraft carrier launch than a dragstrip run. And this Nissan GT-R went straight at blowing through the seven-second barrier with Alexandria Christmas shifting while sashaying the tail of the twin-turbo screamer off of the line during her qualifying pass, breaking into the territory first with a 7.613@186 MPH run, then one-upping that to a [email protected] run.
It’s an absolute demon, this thing…
