The extreme drag racing mania seems to have taken over in Albania as well, after the guys from DragTimesInfo started it with their unbelievably powerful cars on Russia's best drag strip.
The Albanians aren't shy of showing their cars neither. A while back we showed you a BMW E36 M3 with an S85 engine swap that raced a Kawasaki Ninja on one of their nation's highways.

The mad man is back and now he's taking on something a bit more powerful. We're talking about a nearly 1,000 HP Audi RS6. The actual figure is 970 HP but who care about 30 measly HP when you've got so many under the hood already.

That incredible number is claimed to have been reached using a nitrous system but we find it hard to believe that only that kind of an upgrade raised the power output from 580 ponies to that much. That's almost a 400 HP improvement. No way! There must be something else lurking under the hood also.

However, sorry for the spoiler, but it didn't stand a chance against the Bimmer. The race was over in the first hundred meters.
