Finally! Fastest AWD Record Set by HKS GT-R Destroyed!

[dhel]

Actually I was reminded of this in one of our threads here, just thought I wanted to share this to you guys. This was actually the talk of the town in the Cali tuner scene when I was still there .

We recently saw a new Time Attack record set in buttonwillow by the JIC Magic S15 Silvia, but before that... there was a record HELD FOR 6 Years by Japanese tuner monster (and all around bitch slapper of you) HKS, thru their Godzilla R33 GT-R. It was the fastest AWD record in the planet with a differential-crumpling 7.67 at 182 mph!! It was once believed that it will be very very difficult to break this monstrous record, and remember this time 7 sec. was made by an AWD! Hmmm... HKS Godzilla has it's glory, people then guessed that it would take another mutant dinosaur to shatter this record.

They're right! New Zealander Reese McGregor's own Godzilla R32 GT-R with a 1,600 hp punched-out SINGLE TURBO RB laid set a four black stripes all over the HKS mark with a 7.57 at 191 mph run on Willowbank Raceway, Brisbane, Australia. Reports from krazy kiwis say that Reece's GT-R has much more left in it.

*To further fuel the international controversy, UK super tuner , Sumo Power, has been preparing Project Fuujin (Japan talk for "the wind of God") R33 for an assault on the record. With a projected weight of 1900 lb and 1200 hp the Sumo Power GT-R stands a good chance of taking the N.Z R32 GT-R off the top spot. All of this recent record rumbling may wake the sleeping giant yet, as rumors abound that HKS may bring its fearsome R33 GT-R back into action.

Nice accomplishment... Wonder how much further down they can go? Is this the world record for stock-bodied AWD, or does it include tube-frame draggers?

That news is over a year old! I remember nabasa ko din dito yung balita na yan (lurker pa lang ako) nung nag sho-shopping pa ako para sa kotse around december last year.

Nasty!! Hope the HKS will revive their sleeping T-Rex though! Sila ang original eh, biruin mo it took them 6 years to break the damn record.

Stock bodied AWD. Tube-frames go down to 6s.
