With ‘just’ 485 horsepower on board, the stock-standard R35 Nissan GT-R is already capable of outgunning all but the fastest and most expensive of supercars. So just imaging what the car could do if output was increased to 900 horsepower! Thanks to the guys at Switzer Performance, we are now lucky enough to see what a 900 horsepower GT-R can do. The Ohio-based tuner has developed a new performance upgrade for the car, which allows it to run on E85 flex-fuel. Building on its previous P800 800 horsepower GT-R upgrade, the guys at Switzer Performance had to modify the fuel system to...
