Dragtimesinfo has released another nice video, but this time two tuned bikes met each other at the race track.
The first one is Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa Turbo K3 with 270HP and the second Suzuki GSX-R1000 Stage 2 with 200HP. The Hayabusa is considered to be the fastest production bike not long ago, but turbocharging its engine is just insane. Logically, it wins the start against the 1000cc bike by far. The rider of the Hayabusa had a reaction time of 0.014 seconds and 60ft for 2.084 seconds

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 th

The reaction time in drag racing is almost as important as the power of your car, because you may have less horsepower than you opponent and still win. However, in this case, the reaction time doesn’t matter and the more powerful car is a winner with few thousandths of a second.
The epic battle is between Bugatti Veyron and highly tuned Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. The run is on one mile and as you can see in the video, the GT-R R34 is in front all the time, because of the superb reaction time an

Here is a little, but important lesson: How to improve perfection? It is not so simply, because firstly you need 2011 Nissan GT-R, then you’ll have to add some more horsepower and torque, after that you have to set-up the chassis and transmission, and finally to add some more comfort inside the vehicle. The result is 2012 MY GT-R.
2012 Nissan GT-R is powered by the famous 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6, which now delivers 550PS (404 kW) at 6400RPM and 652Nm (483 lb-ft) at just 3200RPM.
