Let's say you find yourself behind the wheel of an R35 Nissan GT-R, with a drag strip surrounding you and a Ram truck lines up next to you - is this a reason to worry? Well, if the pickup in question is the one that brought us here, the answer is a big, far "yes".
As world wide web faith would have it, I'm not familiar with the specs of this no-longer-just-a-workhorse. Then again, the quarter-mile numbers delivered by the Ram speak for themselves.

Then there's special weapon of the pickup truck. That's right, the high-rider we have here packs a trick that's worthy of spy movies - it can cover its opponent in thick, black smoke.

I'm not sure this magic trick wasn't actually intended for the said purpose, but it certainly has a psychological effect on the driver in the other lane.

Now, I can tell you that Godzilla delivered a normal 1,320 feet time for an R35, but I'll stop the details here, since I don't want to risk ruining the giggles delivered by the piece of footage at the bottom of the page.

Note that the two machines got together at the Mission Raceway Park over in Canada.

Now, you'll get to check out the battle between the Ram and the GT-R at the 1:29 point of the video below. Then again, the rest of the clip is also worthy of your attention, since it showcases two other sprinting brawls.

To be more precise, the Nissan GT-R also duked it out with a BMW M4. And while the Bavarian machine wouldn't stand a chance against the Nissan halo car in stock form, the one we have here seems to have been modded, at least judging by its quarter-mile time.

And this M4 also battled another German, namely an Audi RS3 Sedan, with the Ingolstadt toy having also been modded.
