On a recent sunny day in Australia, a group of people got it into their heads that they should attempt to shatter the current world record for cars doing burnouts at the same time.

Having built and damaged the world's longest-ever limo a few years back, crazy car DIY expert Jay Ohrberg is creating a new "world's longest," using Ron Paul's 55-foot election campaign limo as the base for a 105-foot long ride.

We've been eagerly waiting for this since we first heard the news of the stunning 7:26.4 Nurburgring lap time set by the 2009 Corvette ZR1. Now, we've finally got the footage of the Godzilla-killer in action, ripping up the Nordschleife. But will this silence the skeptics? Either way, the Nissan GT-R had better have…
