When a Nissan GT-R and a C6 Corvette Z06 decide to drag race, with both cars having received engine mods, the relevance of the fight is not exactly what you’d call textbook material. Still, this sort of Godzilla vs Americana battles will always keep people on their toes, so here we are, talking about such a race.
We’re dealing with two blacked-out machines here, as it seems the owners choose the same way of making their supercars stand out. Considering the moderate engine modifications, it all seems legit.
Speaking of which, the GT-R you see here is a 2015 model year, which was gifted with custom parts targeting the intake and the exhaust system. With a custom ECU tune governing everything, this Godzilla delivers 600 hp to the wheels.
As for the C6 Z06, its V8 received custom heads and cam, intake, long exhaust tubes and an ECU tune coming from Bar. The exact output wasn’t specified, but the ‘Vette should sit below the GT-R.
The driver of the Z06 bets on the weight advantage card and delivers all sorts of launches aiming to take on the GT-R. The two go head to head in a series of races, so we get to see all the possible scenarios. From the Nissan making full use of its traction advantage, to the Chevy getting a bit of an early start.
The result? While we won't talk about what goes on in the clip below too much, we can mention it's a crushing one.
