According to the drag strip addicts at Dragtimes, the Samurai Speed Nissan GT-R clicks off quarter-mile times around 10.5 seconds at 128 MPH. Unfortunately, this run ended with a grenaded transmission.
In a GT-R versus GT-R race, with launch controlled software at the ready, the Samurai Speed transmission gives up the ghost when the Christmas tree goes green. According to the driver, it sounded like a "bunch of metal dominoes in a line and Tiger Woods came by and hit them with his driver." Ouch. We're betting those boys voided their warranty a looooooooong time ago. [DragTimes]

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He steps on the gas and holds the brake down
Helpless people just stand and look
Scream bug-eyed as his tranny cooks
He hooks up the tires but then he backs down
As he cries through the screeches of the shredding sound
Oh, no, they say he's got to go
Go, go, Godzilla, yeah
