AMS Performance of Chicago, holder of the fastest quarter-mile time in a Nissan GT-R, has set the bar higher with an 8.97-second run at 169 mph.

According to AMS, the run also grabbed the fastest 60-to-130-mph time, at 3.34 seconds.

The Alpha 12, the shop's flagship performance package, cranks up the GT-R's output to 1,500 hp. Yet the GT-R keeps its full interior and air conditioning.

Visit AMS Performance's blog for pictures, the time slip and more information on the Alpha 12. Also, check out the video of the run and acceleration tests with employees in the Alpha 12.

viewer beware: There's a curse word or two uttered , but the smiles are wide.<!--EndofExcerptMarker-->

Just the Facts:

• AMS Performance has released a video showing its latest modified Nissan GT-R laying down 1,309 horsepower and 1,014 pound-feet of torque.
• It runs the quarter-mile in 9.05 seconds at 166.66 mph.
• The tuner was running 35 psi of boost for the tests and experienced poor 90-degree track conditions.

CHICAGO — American tuner AMS Performance has taken the Nissan GT-R to a whole new level with its Alpha 12 creation. We're talking 1,309 horsepower sent to four wheels and a 9-second quarter-mile — a level not usually reached by a GT-R.
AMS already has its Alpha 6, 9 and 10 performance packages, and now it has released an even more extreme kit it calls the Alpha 12. The company has not detailed the newest package yet, but for reference check out the specifics on the $63,995 Alpha 10 here. Its features include a revamped turbo system, new engine internals, exhaust and obviously a recalibrated ECU.

The video shows the AMS Alpha 12 shattering Nissan GT-R horsepower, quarter-mile time and 60-130 mph acceleration records. AMS sets the scene by strapping the modified "Godzilla" on the dyno and having it lay down 1,309 hp and 1,014 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels.
It then moves to the drag strip, where, on its fifth run, the sports car covers the quarter-mile in 9.05 seconds at nearly 167 mph and sprints from 60-130 mph in just 3.46 seconds. The car was supposedly running 35 psi of boost, featured massive wheelspin all the way through 4th gear and had poor 90-degree weather on the day of testing.

Stay tuned for details on this Nissan beast as more information is available.

1,309 HP and the car is slower than ZZP's Grand Prix

 

Mod `Mike...Prove `it ...Where's your Proof ? ? ? ? Back `Up your Statement Line'em `Up

 

Epic fail, then.

 

&#x202a;ZZP TTGT Runs 8.65!&#x202c;&rlm; - YouTube

Found it Mod `Mike, but it's a drag ZZP Grand Prix, and not 4 the street (with air conditioner & all : )
It is an amazing Ride 4 a FWD WoW..., but it's a whole different kind of Ride (RaceCar: )

 

LOL I know they are track prepped compared to a "Streetable" car, but I like saying that the FWD v6 is faster

 

That looks like a good time. zzp's GP has a wheelie bar on it. Why?

EDIT So After looking around I've seen more pics of front wheel drive cars with wheelie bars on them. Maybe someone knows why and can explain it because to me it seems strange.

 

Forces the front end to stay on the ground for better traction. It's not there to stop a wheelie, it is mostly there to keep the weight on the front tires.
