Time and again, weve seen the Nissan GT-R face quicker competitors, whether on a complete circuit competitors or in a drag strip. Despite having old bones beneath, the Japanese sports coupe is still a force to be considered, even amongst newer rivals.
Case in point, the Porsche 911 Turbo S. Even 991 generation of the pumped-up 911 is still more recent than the GT-R, however that does not suggest its quicker. Or is it?

When it comes to the 991.2-generation 911 Turbo S, the non-Exclusive Series carries a flat-six mill that makes 572 hp (427 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of twists. Its listed with 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque with overboost.
The drag race video (ingrained on top of this page) from 888MF on YouTube intends to respond to that. This isnt an ordinary GT-R, however– its a tuned one, which puts it at a fantastic benefit over the Porsche.
Believe it or not, that additional quantity of torque, in addition to the Porsche Sport Response Button (PSRB) mattered a lot in this drag race. See the video on the top to discover, and make sure to wait on the third and second races.
According to the video, the GT-R here is tuned to 690 horse power (515 kilowatts) and 597 pound-feet (810 Newton-meters) of torque. Thats rather a huge jump over a Nissan GT-R Nismo, far more so over a normal GT-R, and more than enough to pull its 3,803-pound (1,725-kilogram) mass.
