Watch a rear-wheel drive Nissan GT-R outrun a 400-hp Evo

One would think that a 400 hp Mitsubishi Evo IX would have little competition when pulling away from a traffic light. Certainly not the kind of competition that leaves it standing like a sloth observing a Saturn V. Yet that is exactly the kind of competition offered by a certain rear-wheel drive GT-R in this video, shot from the Evo.

It is all slightly surreal. A friend of a friend of a friend sort of story pegs the Nissan at 1,000 hp before toned down for driveability to the current 650 hp, but that is all I know. Hungarians shmungarians.
