For drivers, acceleration that blistering feels akin to being shot out of a cannon.

But as we've seen, in the hands of capable tuners, Godzilla is even more ferocious—and there's a large population of aftermarket companies seeking to unleash its true potential. Obviously, bragging rights are won at the track, and the latest king of the GT-R mountain is Washington State's Extreme Turbo Systems. World Car Fans has just posted video of the team's latest monster blasting through the 1/4 mile in a staggering 7.49 seconds at 189 mph. The run bested the previous record of 7.70 at 186 mph—set by AMS/ALPHA Performance—in October of 2014.
