Switzer's New "Everyday" 1,000HP Nissan GT-R Ultimate Street Edition
One thousand horsepower is an attainable number by tuners these days, but understandably, when you push a car to its limits, it becomes very difficult to deal with under normal driving conditions.
Switzer Performance has been offering a 1,000 wheel-horsepower R1KX package for the Nissan GT-R since 2010, but it’s a hardcore tune that needs careful maintenance and is more suitable for the track than on the road.
Now, the Oberlin, Ohio-based company has come with a new performance tune for the GT-R named the Ultimate Street Edition or USE, which it promises to offer 1,000-horses that you can use on a daily basis.
"Far too often, I talk to people who think that what they want is that last thousandth of a second, regardless of the cost," says Tym Switzer, owner and founder of the company that bears his name.
"For the few that can really wrap their heads around what that means – that the car will shift abruptly, that it'll run hot in traffic, and that they'll have to run specialized racing fuels in order to get the most out of the car and keep it happy. For them, our R1KX or XXX GTRs will give them what they want: the baddest, fastest GTR that money can buy," explains Switzer.
