Nissan Skyline GT-R races Bugatti Veyron

The Bugatti Veyron racing against a Skyline GT-R is a very interesting comparison. Nissan's Skyline GT-R is a tuner favorite and when stock is very tame compared to the vehicles actual potential. Bugatti's Veyron is the top speed monster known around the world for being the most expensive supercar. The following footage shows a stock Nissan Skyline GT-R racing against the Bugatti Veyron.

By watching the footage of the stock Nissan Skyline GT-R you can see how well the launch system technology functions. With added modifications, previous generation Skyline's were known to make 1000+ horsepower and have top speeds around 230 mph. What can the new Skyline GT-R accomplish with the right tuner's touch? The world is soon to find out as this challenge of Skyline tuning is currently taking place. These vehicles take time to build and perfect just as the Bugatti was perfected. I expect to see a modified Top Secret Skyline GT-R by 2011 that will be able to beat the Bugatti Veyron. First, let's take a look at the specifications!

    to be honest i'd rather get 20 Nissan GTR's than 1 Bugatti Veyron! And with some crazy tuning from the crazy japanese you'll have a GTR that'll put the Veyron to shame!
