Switzer World's Fastest GTR

Video: Inside the World’s Fastest GTR

A few days ago, the 1500+ HP, Switzer Performance-built “Goliath” GTR became the fastest GTR in the world. That was what the car’s owner wanted, and it’s what he experienced when Goliath blasted across the line in just over 22 seconds at more than 250 MPH at the Moscow Unlimited - a mile-long, side-by-side drag

P800 GTR 0-180 (again)

A few weeks ago, we posted Brian Zuk’s excellent, high-definition(720p), in-car video of a Switzer Performance P800 GTR blasting down a private runway from a dig to well over 180 mph (that’s 0-300 km/h, for our metric friends). Today, we have more 0-300 runs from the high-powered GTR from a number of angles. In-car, out-car,

Boulder E1K vs. Shift S3ctor

Boulder Nissan‘s P800 has shown up on these pages in the past, after winning the TX2K10 and hitting fantastic speeds at the Texas Mile event immediately afterwards. Since then, the car has “outgrown” its P800 markings, and has been turned into a 1000 hp, ethanol-fueled track-terror. We call it the E1K, for “ethanol” and “1000

R1K-X GTR (w/ video)

This is Switzer’s newest car: the R1K-X. When most people see a hot new car, they tend to skip through the write-up and go straight for the performance specs. Is that you? If it is, this is what you want to know about Switzer’s latest R35 GTR conversion: it makes over 1400 horsepower, and you

USE GTR Gets Driven

Switzer’s Ultimate Street Edition (USE) cars are built to be just that: street cars. What that means is that the car’s owner can drive it every day, on pump gas, in traffic, and expect to find the same kind of reliability and flexibility that they’d find in the “stock” version of the car.

Still the One

The car you see here is, as far as I’m concerned, the car that started it all. The is the stock-engine 1/4 mile record-holding Porsche 997 that, in 2008, got my attention. Within the month, Tym Switzer and I were talking regularly and by December of that same year, I was on a flight to

USE GTR Gets Caffeinated

The guys over at San Jose’s Goodies Speed Shop just posted a great video featuring one of our 1000 hp Ultimate Street Edition GTR Nissans putting the power down to the shop’s new chassis dyno during a recent “cars and coffee” event.
