Nissan GT-R Drag Races Old Chevrolet Truck, Regrets It Instantly

Granted, you can't really do that in a professional class due to current regulations, but nothing will stop you from doing so in a grudge race. And it's exactly what this old and rusty Chevrolet truck did against a Nissan GT-R.

Known as "Farmtruck," this second-generation Chevy C/K has been terrorizing drag strips for quite a few years now. Naturally, that's because underneath that beat-up body lurks a nitrous-assisted V8 powertrain that turns the classic hauler into a full-fledged dragster.

And it may seem hard to believe, but this flying brick outgunned quite a few supercars down the quarter-mile. Perhaps you've also seen it race really fast on Discovery's "Street Outlaws."

Anyway, "Farmtruck" is back to do some more damage and its latest victim is a Nissan GT-R. And it's not just any run-of-the-mill GT-R. This Japanese supercar is a grudge race regular and sports quite a few upgrades under the hood. On top of an all-wheel-drive setup, of course.

But all that is not enough for the GT-R to take the win. Despite being the heavier of the two, "Farmtruck" launches like a slingshot, takes the lead immediately, and hangs onto it until the finish line. To be fair, the GT-R had a surprisingly low start, but I bet it would have lost anyway. It all happened at the Winter Heatwave 4 in December 2021.

So what's hiding under "Farmtruck's" hood you ask? Well, this truck gets updated regularly, but last time we checked, it ran a 632-cubic-inch (10.4-liter) V8 with an aftermarket racing block. Two nitrous kits provide the extra juice.

But the really cool thing about this pickup truck is that the owner opted to keep the steel bodywork. That's a very unusual approach nowadays when most builders are replacing nearly all original body panels with carbon-fiber or fiberglass elements.
