If not, maybe it was the r1k kit then.

Good point

Sick video. Curious what kind of speeds they reached

Switzer offers the top package for something ridiculously cheap like 60k. I posted on this a long time ago. They have different packages based on what type of fuel you are running. I think for 91 octane they can push to 700 hp and if you go alway to the race gas tune (like the one in the video probably is set up for) they can make 1000+hp.

As far as the driver of the bugatti not in top gear mode I think thats BS. The top gear mode is supposed to lower the car and drop the wing. I am pretty sure the veyron has all of its power on tap when needed. Its a bugatti not a BMW M car. If the GTR is running over 1000 hp and it weighs in at about 600 lbs less its going to fly.

BTW I have to say I loved the way the GTR driver just kept on going to really make a point

One important factor to keep in mind is that the Veyron has 2 occupants (a driver and a camera person) while the GT-R appears to have only the driver. Still this particular GT-R probably would win even if this wasn't the case.

it is also true GTR is the worst on drivetrain power loss. It's an AWD, channel power out to all FOUR wheels. Throw in the tall gearing and it's a recipe for disaster for roll pull racing to high speeds. Your ****ed.

Could've posted all three of your responses into one post.
