Actually this is not running on a stock tranny; the upgrade package includes a tranny upgrade. There's been a few of them running 9.5 seconds for over a year now with no tranny problems.

Wow, I have got to get me one of those. It will only get better with time.
Run actually starts at 1 minute in case you want to skip the fluff.

At the end of the day, nobody told Mario Andretti they had a nicer interior after getting spanked.

Did y'all happen to catch one of the other videos off to the side? Nissan GTR Dragstrip Fail...hilarious!

Oh yeah, and that GTR is obviously ridiculous. At one point is too much for public roads though? I don't know if that would be a lot of fun in normal every day driving. :turninginmymancard:

Well of course! Looks like they used the "one man one more" technique by AMG.

No really, AMS makes some screamers. Saw thier white beat running way north of 200 mph via Texas mile.

Great video!! Great team of guys! What amazes me is that this perhaps is the only car that can afford to walk off the line and leave a couple of tenths on the 60' and make up for it on top

They are now in a class of their own!

Asian dude had me rolllin'

only problem is that the AMS alpha 12 package seen in this vid cost like $80K on top of a $100K car... at $180K i think i would rather get a used 06 lambo gallardo and take it to UGR for their 1500hp twin turbo upgrade... would end up at same price with more HP and its a lambo

That GTR is extremely fast, but I want to see it at texas mile against UG TT lambo.
