Nissan GT-R 1600hp v 1000hp v 650hp Drag Race What is the importance of horsepower? Is it possible to drag-race faster if you have more horsepower? Carwow’s team assembled three modified Nissan GTRs to test this hypothesis. Each Nissan GTR was modified to have more horsepower than the stock model, with nearly 1,000 horsepower spread between them. This YouTube experiment will show you how horsepower affects drag track times. Three levels of GTR modifications are available from Carwows R35 Nissan GTR. We have the 650 horsepower (484 Kilowatts) version. There’s also the Nissan GTR with 1,000 horsepower (745 Kilowatts), which is the miracle four-figure engine. The 1,650 horsepower Nissan GTR is the final option. Drag radials are used to increase the horsepower (1,230 Kilowatts), of the Nissan GTR. This is in addition to the stock tire and wheel setups. Since 2009, the R35 Nissan GTR is available worldwide. The legendary supercar slayer built a reputation for being a master of power mods. Over the past 12 years, Nissan GTR modifications has reached new heights of power and reliability. Modded Nissan GTRs produce over 1,000 horsepower and outperform almost all other drag cars. Many owners experienced transmission problems in the early days R35 modifications. Even stock cars could cause transmission damage during launch. Nissan was able to improve the transmission’s durability and after-market companies were able to launch Nissan GTRs with more than 1,000 horsepower. It’s a reminder of how dominant the R35 Nissan GTR is in drag races. Even though its design is old, it still sets impressive times. Combine that with a strong aftermarket and you will be able to beat any other vehicle on the road.
