Same Speed Shop Drag Duel! 1650hp R35 GT-R vs 1600hp Audi R8

Precision Racing showed OUT today, bringing TWO builds on cars from different continents drag racing on our no-prep Australian airstrip. George’s Audi R8 usually runs 2khp (in no small part thanks to his twin 76mm turbskis), but even with his thicccc Mickey Thompson tire package he can’t put it all down. It’s 5.2L V10’s been tuned down to a slightly less insane 1600hp… we think. Precision has a tendency to overdeliver, as Joe’s Nissan R35 “JeeDeeAhh” proves. Its PR16 package is only supposed to make 1600 horses but they managed to squeeze 1650 out of a V6! Torque control, twin turbos… this’ll be a wild one.

No one asked or addressed why he hit the brakes on the 1st run right before the finish line.

[Kaiuske]

I dont like the no explanation on why the GTR cut power in the first two races.

[mobdarnell]

The fact they don’t talk about what happened to the GTR in races mean that the GTR was having tuning or mechanical problems and they didn’t want their shop to get a bad name

[firebirdude]

10:49 GTR nosed over so hard round1, I thought he was sandbagging but accidently let him win. Then in round2 like WTF?!?!

[godbelow]

So we finally get a good match up, and then GTR lets off the gas BOTH rounds?! Wtf was going on there.

[unitedwestand]

Surprised it wasn't a 2000hp skyline vs a turbo Miata with hopes and dreams this episode

[nobody_X]

We saw the gtr cut out before the flag on the 1st race but no one said anything 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[burn]

The R35 shenanigans not being acknowledged at all certainly gives the credibility of this series a hit lads

[beuteschema]

What happened to the gtr on the first run? It looked like he straight up started breaking or something.

[mohosyr]

So no one gonna talk about the GTR backing off before the line

[PvTNuclear]

Precision racing really making the v10 guys feel better about their builds by sandbagging 🤣 smart business move. I’m sure it takes 100k more (not including the car) to get a lambo/r8 to this level vs a gtr

[bnny]

Be good to see it without the r35 stopping short each race

[jinchovelazquez]

yall should start taking times and stuff, then have a list of fastest 1000ft times, and 1500ft times. have the speed posted as well as the times. i think thatd be cool. id like to see where the hoonicorn stands against a lot of these beastly cars(or where these cars stand against the hoonicorn) idk just a suggestion, if it hasnt been made before

[nielsreiziger]

Something is up with the GT-R he bailed 2 times.

[jamessherer]

Gtr had both races haha. He hit the brakes so hard at the end of the first race and 2nd he gave to him

[steve.r]

Are we not even going to address how the GT-R let off in both races and gave up the W?

[Mango_Pnch]

“Ah shit the Audi is supposed to win, let me just apply the brakes a bit”

[shangrilai]

Predictions show Gary for Team Audi when he said he was going with the GTR. Otherwise great episode as always.

[raymondw.]

Don’t know how hoonigan can be in Australia and not drag PAC Performance into the fight. Australia produces some monstrous import muscle

[KrypticDanny]

Why did no one address the fact that the gtr let off or hit the brakes in the first round?
