You’re unlikely to encounter a R35 GTR that is modified yet simultaneously that slow, or so I’d reckon. A more typical first round of mods puts them straight down to about 10.4 1/4 mile on the 20” wheels normal tires and no weight reduction (there’s exceptional race efforts that were faster, but who cares).
The GTR’s stock turbos are old and small. Add hybrid turbos and intercooler; and it’s now a 9.7-9.9s 1/4m (5.2-5.4s 60-130) street tire car. But your 10-15k in mods at this point, and the trans longevity is an expensive uncertainty. I have a 2018 GTR. I’d have to say that there is no longer much logical reason to buy one. I feel that there are better platforms for everything now. |

I am surprised the GTR doesnt start recovering a bit at the end, but no, X3 seems to still be pulling.
Problem with these races is there is no way of knowing the HP of the cars. Either way, strong figures ![]() |

Very impressive showing for the X3M... even given its higher curb weight.
I think the GTR is slowly becoming a dinosaur... yes it can be tuned to insane power but the tech is becoming lackluster. An M3C Xdrive with probably 100 HP less than that GTR would have still flown away.

No way that X3M has 800 hp, more like 650-700 max. It would run in the 9’s with 800!

Personally still love the R35 GTR it will go down as one of the all time greats. Hell, I would even consider a nice R34.

They get an interesting amount of hate. Probably just due to being the king of the hill street car for so long. I know personally I found the R35 scene to be annoying; how for years it felt like every 48 hours there is a new record, complete with 30 minute video celebrating another thousandth of a second progress in the 1/4 mile evolution.. and it just got hard to keep giving a shit. lol, but I can be a grinch like that. I honestly had no interest in the platform until one day I woke up and said I want an AWD DCT.. and in that moment, it was still the one to go with.

Let em hate. You have a legend. One doesn't always have to chase the newest/fastest.. The R35 put the world on notice, and will always be revered. Comments like "yeah but an "EV" will..." personally, I could give a damn LOL

Great video with stratospheric entertainment value. Practical application of lessons learned - still stuck somewhere on the ground.
