Tuned Skyline GT-R R34 Vs. Veyron Drag Race

You’d think that something like the Bugatti Veyron would have no competition on four wheels, especially from a Japanese car that has gone out of production almost ten years ago.
But you’d be wrong, because nothing messes with the mighty Godzilla, not even the god of hypercars. Now you can troll all you want about the GT-R being extensively modified and about the Bugatti having a greater top speed, but the fact of the matter is that a car built by one of the biggest automotive groups in the world to be the best was defeated by some guys with money and a shop.

The result should be put down to the small power gap between the two cars, which is only 101 hp, and the better traction off the line for the GT-R R34, which isn’t governed so much by electronic nannies.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
