Getting a car to travel over a mile in distance in under ten seconds is one hell of a task, but when you have the resources of AMS Performance behind you then the job is easier. That is not to say getting the Nissan R35 GT-R from a standing point to a mile distance is no easy ride, no matter what resources you have at your disposal.
The AMS Performance R35 GT-R, made several passes over the course at the Lonestar Motorsports Park, knocking up the world’s first sub nine second of the course. Something even more interesting is the speed that the car has to reach in order to crack the mile run.
With a best speed of 146.96 mph, this is a truly wonderful car that defies all imagination from a production car, but in order to get over that mile in around nine seconds, speed is what it takes and speed is what this fantastic Nissan R35 GT-R has, you just cannot beat it, or can you?
What went into the AMS R35 GT-R to help it win:
•AMS upgraded bolt on turbo’s

AP Racing Rear Slotted Rotors Nissan Skyline R35 GTR 09+
The GT-R’s original equipment (OE) brake discs just don’t have the staying power when pushed to the limits. Premature brake disc cracking is something no one wants to see after a day of fun. It didn’t take long for many to realize this is one of the few areas of weakness in an otherwise incredible car. Quickly responding to customer demand, Fifa Racing is now offering AP Racing upgraded discs that mount straight onto the OE brake hats. These discs have been track proven (Nurburgring, Silverstone and more) on GT-R’s in extreme conditions by professional drivers. They not only lasted much longer without cracking, several drivers reported improved brake pedal feel and easier pedal modulation. The best thing is that these upgraded discs cost even less than standard factory replacements.
Here are the highlights:
Top quality, proprietary iron alloy with multi-stage thermal processing.
Curved-vane core (48 vanes) for better thermal management under extreme use. More expensive to make, but improved cooling over the OE pillar vane design.
12 curved slots (not drilled!) to improve pad bite and resist cracking under severe use.
Precisely balanced at high RPM for smooth operation at any vehicle speed.
Friction faces finished on the latest generation twin-turning equipment, better DTV (Disc Thickness Variation) and less run out than typical double-disc grinding machines.
Includes fresh hardware for track-day confidence every day.
Added bonus: Even priced less than the standard OE discs!
2 piece Rotors are sold as a pair and include hardware.
Priced at $1,349.75
