1,100-HP R35 Nissan GT-R Drags 2,500-HP Lambo Huracan and M3 With Surprising Results 

A fresh video from the dedicated channel recently showcased another excerpt from the Street Car Takeover event at Bradenton Motorsports Park. Over there, the videographer found an all-black Dodge Challenger with a black body, black racing wheels, and humongous rear tires. Naturally, it was an SRT model, and judging by the side badges plus the partial widebody kit, we were dealing with one of the seven 'Last Call' special editions for the 2023 model year, the mighty Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170.

It did face some stiff competition – first, an orange Honda S2000 that ditched the naturally-aspirated 2.0-liter for a turbocharged V8 swap, according to the description, turning it into a veritable monster, at least visually. However, the orange rascal didn't launch properly, and we were left unimpressed. Luckily, next came a green monster, a tuned Audi R8. This one was a proper menace – when the driver didn't sleep on the line, though. Anyway, hopefully, at MIR, drivers are quicker on their toes.

This time around, the Maryland action comes from a RaceMotive event and focuses on a dark-purple R35 Nissan GT-R with 1,100 horsepower under the hood, according to the description. These tuned Godzillas are a tradition across the nation's quarter-mile dragstrips already, and so are the modded Lamborghini Huracans. This one, a Performante version, allegedly has no less than 2,500 horsepower behind the driver. So, at least on paper, it could be a wildly one-sided brawl.

As it turns out, that was exactly the case – only not the way everyone expected. Instead, the 'lower-powered' R35 monster performed flawlessly and shot out like a rocket from its lane. At the same time, the green Lambo rascal had obvious issues with power delivery and gently rolled down in its lane about half of the quarter-mile distance. In the end, it started accelerating strongly, but by that time, it was already too late – the GT-R had already won the skirmish with an 8.34s pass at 189 mph and was deploying its parachute when the Huracan was still completing the length of the course.

Later that night, the R35 Nissan GT-R returned for a second skirmish – this time around featuring a gray (wolf) BMW M3 in the left lane. This one didn't stutter or break down, but it also didn't prove a match for the Godzilla in the right lane – the Nissan won again with an 8.7s versus 9.35s pass, even though it didn't feature the higher trap speed (125 mph versus 145 mph). So, are you sad to see the R35 going away?
