The 950 HP Switzer E900 GTR - /TUNED

After last week's Runway Tuner Shootout, Matt couldn't resist taking the winning car, the E85 powered Switzer E900 GTR out for a little drive. What he finds is not just another GTR, because this is the fastest street car he's ever driven.

[@TomRopez]

Matt Farrah dude that response when you hit it on full boost is possibly your greatest moment on drive for me. More of that please

[@maksuree]

that is a HELL of a lot of value for money. faster 1/4 mile than a Veyron for a tenth of the price, and won't attract unwanted attention from car thieves? and is fully equipped with standard luxuries? yes please.

[@WhyAreYouUpset]

yea, people would way rather steal a civic than a gtr right

yeah value for money... dude dont even got brakes after $60k.. You could get an STI or Evo to 800hp for almost half the price, now thats value getting almost 500hp for 35k. So-called "quality" will not be as good but you will still have an absolute beast and a quality one if you do it right with the right people who know what they are doing... Also, if you can afford a $200K car (which is probably how much he paid for the car + upgrades), you can probably afford a garage and other security lol.

[@NotAud]

@@WhyAreYouUpset 6 years late but according to the list of the US's most stolen cars, yeah they would :^)

[@WhyAreYouUpset]

@@NotAud you dont know what "rather" means. id rather not go to work, but i still do.

[@nubserver]

"Sleeper" i don't think that term applys to a GTR.

[@maebae5350]

I know what you mean by that. The GTR has amazing street presence so making it a sleeper or stealth car doesn't really give it the same feel as such. The point is, there are no visual upgrades to it, which makes it appear as stock though it's twice as powerful. It'll even kick a Veyron's butt in a quarter mile, which makes me smile

[@KodCore]

Cole Stubbs I'm not telling you youre gonna make 5,000 a week, or a month Lmao. Just click this link and you might actually make a lil cash for people clicking your link youthvisit.com/?userid=20684

[@wb5mgr]

Nothing about a GTR says sleeper...

[@AKhellbindeR]

Guy owns a GTR, and looks like he collects money for a living.

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

Anders Kristensen I know you iv seen your name before..I see you left your make here like a graffiti artist 👨‍🎤 5 years ago you are the top comment.

[@olbear303]

I've never heard of a sleeper GTR...

[@AdamKyleAnderson]

A sleeper as in people think it is the stock car.

[@AdamKyleAnderson]

***** Yes it is :-)

[@onlymoneyloves]

Emtildeath6666 a sleeper means people dont expect it to be fast..... nobody sleeps on a gtr as hyped as they are..

[@3rdGenGuy]

Emtildeath6666 A sleeper car is designed to be underestimated. No one underestimates a GTR even a stock one. So it's not a sleeper.

[@dev894]

technically a sleeper is anything that looks stock but has a shit ton of power

[@Ahennem]

Watch the Worlds Fastest Lotus video at 7:55 when it shows the underside of the car then look at this video at 2:10. I call shenanigans.

[@magicwaffl3z]

Ha! Good catch

[@802Larsen]

lol. stupid...

[@siriansight]

nice !

[@DJSPACEJUNKIE]

Ahennem 20/20 vision or memory might i say lol

[@cybererik1]

You're right!

[@joetuohy89]

Holy shit, that tomato has a nice car!

[@nogo6357]

Yes, yes 👏👏👏

[@edmac5011]

3:05 - 3:15 is all i need to see every time. That sound echoes down to my molecules. Love this channel.

[@YungDevo9]

bruh yall so sensitive. so what he called it a sleeper. Its faster than a stock gtr but it doesnt look any faster. You get inside and everything is normal, the GTR as a whole may not be a sleeper but in context this car is a sleeper.

[@Caleb.Michael]

2:11 is the same clip as 7:56 in The worlds fastest lotus.

[@lachie45]

$60569 on engine upgrades....$0 on brakes....hmmm?

[@norcalnorway]

Boost is a term used to reference the pressure that the forced induction engine is using to build power. A N/A car runs off of the air around us which is designed as 1 atmosphere or 14.7 psi. A forced induction engine uses pressures above 1 atmosphere to create a situation where the engine can burn more fuel due to the presence of more oxygen from the pressurization of the air. 1 bar is 14.7 psi

[@madjimms]

Put the engine in a Datsun 510.... THEN it would be a sleeper.

[@siriansight]

that's an appauling, frightening concept. ..I hope someone does it.

[@michaelbetz4086]

This is the best video you have done. Thank you for taking time out for this BEAST!_

[@JimGaminGHD]

If I had this car I would sell my Ex-GF

[@88matheos1]

i do like the gtrs especially the tuned ones , maybe the design of the gtr is getting slightly borin but anyway my question is: dont you have any problems with that tuned car if it has 800 hp or more? nothing is gonna die?? i mean especially the tuner switzer

[@loganking4529]

this car is great and all but honestly it isn't shit compared to an ams alpha 16 gtr which almost doubles its 900hp with an insane 1600hp

[@supra1722]

1 small correction, the Veyron doesn't trap anywhere around 135, that is slightly more than the Aventador or ZR1, try mid-high 10's at low 140 trap speeds with a non VHT track.

[@conneradamski2903]

a "sleeper?!" any person with half a brain cell in the automotive world knows a 2.9 second STOCK gtr is not a sleeper!

[@LordToxygene]

Conner Adamski you'll only find that out after you run it. LOL

[@rediculousrapper]

what I love about GT-R's is that whether they are tuned or not they still make these guys that that drive the worlds best cars go....wow, holy shit, etc....

[@TomRopez]

Haha just re-watched hardly a sleeper a GTR

[@pballerss]

Dude the GTR is awesome but your sunglasses are something else! I need to get one of those!

[@Ludak021]

I do agree however that on a track it all depends on the driver and that's the most important factor in any race. Brakes on switzer will not melt, they will just behave differently when heated up so again, if the driver is aware and used to this, brakes are not an issue.

[@TKO52286]

Probably the most accurate, enjoyable and comical review of this beautiful machine.

[@maebae5350]

To all those who are calling him out on the GTR not being a sleeper, the man's absolutely right. A sleeper or stealth car is ANY car that has significantly upgraded performance that has no visual upgrades whatsoever. A GTR can't really be a hidden race car because one in and of itself has amazing street credibility, but the point is that it has twice the power of a stock GTR with no visual upgrades. True "junk car that drives like a track star" sleeper? Nope; can't do it. Sleeper by definition? Most definitely.

[@EllisBMX96]

why would he need to? the stock brakes can rip your face off and the suspension can all be changed and tweaked to whatever you need it?

[@brandon75173]

Please post some videos, or links to it. Does the guy happen to work at AMS? Otherwise I highly doubt he has an EVO with 1200hp.

[@serginietor]

it has some pretty nice brakes stock, but yeah, I get what you say. cooling mods would probably do the trick, no need to swap the whole system

[@youtubarrr]

We only see these cars on KZbin. How many cars above 600HP do you see on road everyday?

[@rousseau327]

But you were talking about standing mile and 1/4 mile speeds, not economy or fuel rarities. I wasn't aware that economy had a place when it came to comparing these cars.

[@851995STARGATE]

Thanks for that comment, copy that reply to me29903, the GT-R's chassis can only take so much, the drive train wasn't designed with tuners in mind, so anything pushing the GT-R past 600 hp will definitely cause some reliability issues unless you do some heavy modifications

[@JG54206]

just caught this, he said "the CLUTCHES engage differently" i didnt know the 09's were dual clutch, are the new ones?

[@2005StangMan]

Matt Farrah's reactions to power are incredible! Definitely great add on for the reviews

[@Libertarianmobius1]

Dude, it is a masterpiece of engineering. AWD with a 2.8 seconds 0-60. Moving 3900 lbs in 2.8 with a V6. Even Porsche engineers are impress of the GTR numbers. It is the ultimate machine, it is Godzilla.....

[@JG54206]

stock brembo calipers are fine, he just needs upgraded pads to resist overheating and wear under harder driving

[@JG54206]

i think it produces more power, so sometimes you will actually use less throttle, and less feul but i think you need alot of it as compared to gas

[@steenmadsen3978]

This is one cool car, awesome job. Sound is absolutely the best ever GT-R! AP racing J hook rotors, endless pads, braided lines...for sure over stock brembo cross-drilled rotors which are prone to cracking at cross drill points..

[@AfghanBluegrass]

You are correct... It's called the CBA-R35 GTR (Where CBA is the prefix for emission standard) =)

[@rmp5s]

As has been stated, I'm not a fan of unbalanced mods. If you're going to double the horsepower, do the brakes and the suspension, too. All that said, I LOVE the car. That exhaust tone? The understated looks of the car? Epic.

[@cjs112286]

@drive At 2:12 the shot of the underbody is identical to the shots (underbody) from the "World's fastest Lotus" video. Editing mistake?

[@kphillips012]

its a sleeper. not in the cheap sense like a buick regal. this is the upgraded version of a sleeper. it looks stock but has two times the performance. that is still a sleeper in a sense, just because it is already fast doesnt mean anything. take this for example, if a stock zr1 rolled up on a P950 it would think it was stock, being that stock zr1 is faster than a stock GTR (480hp) he would think the race was in the bag, till the pedal hits the floor and the GTR smokes him. sleeper :)

[@spaz480]

cobb accessport? why wouldnt he just run protunes and have a standalone device to log and tune the device? even on my WRX I no longer use an AP

[@tilted_mk6]

yes, i know the alpha 12 exists but you should take a look at the omega gtr. its ams' newest creation and i believe it topped out on the texas mile at 238mph. their still fixing issues and trying to beat the UGR race spec gallardo superleggera's record of 248.

[@emc3065]

Please visit the UK. You could probably have visited Severn Valley Motorsports, 1400bhp R35.

[@PorscheSweden]

If your E900 is only mapped for certain ethanol rates it's pretty much useless in the US. Ethanol are quite rare, the only solution would be to have a flexfuel map sensor which could run like 93 oct,98 oct, C16 racefuel and other high octane fuels. But yeah the kit kosts arround 60k$. To be honest i would rather upgrade the Alpha 10 package from AMS with full built motor and transmission. Making 1100 hp on C16 :)

[@Yamakaaa]

the sound is unbelievable ... lovin' it

[@hdidane00]

both alpha 10 and 12 use race gas or some other version of fuel ill stick with the aplha 9 because it only uses pump gas. the other gases are either hard to find or expensive.

[@b1gbadm1ke]

Wasn't a GTR the car that Car and Driver wrecked at VIR caused the brakes went completely away from them? On stock power?? How do new brakes not make it into a $60k upgrade package....

[@Ffrozen12]

So it is time to get the VW W16 Engine Tuned?

[@TerryCornrow]

And what exactly is the chassis code for this GTR you speak of.

[@BIOSHOCKFOXX]

How i love the sound at the start from that muscle car...symphony.

[@claytonlh]

So does the gtr just need an aftermarket exhaust to sound alive?

[@nogo6357]

I think 950hp would do the trick just as well as an exhaust

[@Mr13147]

This car is so gigantic epic. If i ever would have the money to buy it i would deffinantly do so.

[@johnmartinek9459]

I'm loving the sound!!!

[@TheRandyLahey]

the clip at 2:10 is from the episode with the custom elise isnt it?

[@SquareRootOfaGisMe]

What does it mean when he refers to boost? Is he talking about NOS?

[@dbailey483]

how do you upgrade everything else for $60k+ but not do anything to the brakes

[@AGC828]

Where does one get ethanol? It's not like it's readily available at your neighborhood gas station. Great for a weekend driver. Not practical for daily driving.

[@GardfieldzZzZ]

The bottom view of the car at 02:11 is the same as in the video "The Lotus World's Fastest?". Editor? YOU'RE FIRED !

[@Avilator189]

However, if someone doesn't know what they are looking at, it's just another Nissan. If it had a Ferrari or Lamborghini badge, the average person would expect it to be fast. But I do agree with your idea about what a sleeper is. Something like a built Taurus SHO, perhaps?

[@tirbomax]

what i would like to know is...what is the song at the end of the vid?

[@LueXiong10]

The doubles the power but leaves everything else bone stock? Why?

[@camilla6271]

Would you rather have the mighty Godzilla or the exquisite LFA?

[@trad3markmusic]

Raviel GTR in a heartbeat. Although the LFA is the best sounding car, the GTR just kicks ass in the 0-60.

[@MikeKayK]

+Peter Alexander there's a lot more to a car than 0-60

[@luisteixeira8154]

Nice, powerful and good looking car.

[@tonyrocks951]

Is it really considered a sleeper?

[@pmsids]

Didn't the ams car run like an 8 something quarter???

[@n4w4k1]

If this is the Veyron killer, what does that make the Alpha Omega?

[@Daiymian]

There is a video on here called the Two Second Club. The guy on there says that out of the three cars on that video, the GTR is fastest to 45 though. And that isn't the one that's 900hp lol. You can probably play with that 0 - 45 any day in any city. Plus it's way cheaper obviously. Both awesome cars !!

[@programmerdelly3692]

Whats the name of the soundtrack in the beginning?

[@19djbenjammin79]

reliability based on what???

[@Daiymian]

When he giggles and laughs like that... you know he's pleased !!

[@XenomorphLV426]

How does it pass smog?

[@decside]

Wouldn't say it's a masterpiece but it is an awesome car. Twin clutch, AWD, LC and a pretty hyped first gear ratio (compared to pretty much every other car) lol. It's no mystery as to why it's faster at 0-60s than a lot of cars. Overall its a great car and I wouldn't mind owning one.

[@420FlyByNight]

The sounds of that engine are amazing. Go Nissan!

[@keithbegley888]

top speed? standing mile time?

[@TheUnendingJourney]

how do you get that much power from a v6? well idk. we're getting 1000+HP in 4 cylinder hondas.

[@NordicBlood84]

Impressive, I like the fact that it's a super car in a practical sense.

[@IronmanLE1]

so your spending around 170k for this car?

[@warkus123]

they are made for 485 horses not 900ish horses. Did you see how easelly Matt pushed it to 150mph? i dont think those can keep up with that actully.

[@walperstyle]

Driven a stock GTR and am very impressed with its ability to launch so quick. That said, the list of modifications to this car shouldn't cost more then $12,000. I know because I am building a 500hp 4 cylinder.

[@zazerocold]

The GT-R always has been Dual Clutch but the thing he meant i guess that when the car got customized even in the GearBox because as you heard the car accelerate differently ... So Fast !!!

[@ironbull2003]

7:36 Yea right? My 06 CTS-V from behind looks like a regular CTS that you can call a sleeper, this GTR is not a sleeper at all!

[@MyCatInABox]

Wow. The whole "2 year warranty" thing is just flat out amazing. Crazy to even think that someone would build something like this and sell it to the general public, much less offer a 2 year TRANSFERABLE warranty...

[@themorganator]

The guy deserves respect for commissioning the engine work, but not upgrading the suspension and breaks is just madness.

[@johnofcross]

Those shades are crazy. What are those?

[@ketch_up]

What are the fancy magnets for?

[@lecudig92]

so it is faster than venom gt?

[@TheFlaskoqueef]

great on the fly setup and build

[@idale86]

That GTR sounds absolutely amazing.

[@grind55]

What color is the GTR?

[@warracer03]

so true! Never got over that, never understood why they did that...

[@screener545]

What he meant is, is that compared to other GTR-35 this is a sleeper, but still your statement is 100% correct. It's faster than a veyron by a long shot so of course its not a sleeper XD

[@fofal]

HIS SUN GLASSES!!!! where can i get tints like this for my car?

[@jarrettsimoneaux4627]

Apparently you don't know about the 6 second quarter mile GTR.

[@Helium_Hunter]

Its actually surprisingly hard to improve the breaks on a GTR, the stock ones are awesome.

[@ecyout]

You can get 1200+ HP out of a turbocharged 2.0 4 cylinders built for racing, so I think it's not that surprising to get that amount of power with a 6, although I admit it is impressive coming from a road going block.

[@saidgrc]

Some cars u just need to leave the stock wheels on cuz they're sick!

[@gnarlytothemax]

How much turbo lag?

[@rousseau327]

I dont think the alpha omega is available for sale yet.

[@MrChacha2011]

how is it a sleeper and then 60k and no brake upgrades. I think thats too much as is but its still a cool car.
