What it takes to run a 6 second pass in a Nissan GTR

[Sticky]

Pulling off a 6-second Nissan GTR took perseverance, guts, and dedication. AMS, Syvecs, and Diamonds by Wire Racing deserve all the credit in the world for the first 6-second Nissan GTR 1/4 mile pass. It was not easy to achieve to put things mildly.

Check out the video below the specifications showing what the team had to go through in order to pull this off.
