Switzer Performance has been around for a while and we already know what they’re capable of but their latest milestone is quite the feat — It was announced today that a Switzer tuned Nissan GT-R has hit 191 MPH during a standing mile. Now, this may not seem that fast but it is a record speed for a GT-R in that short of a distance.

For those who don’t know the Switzer GT-R has 700 HP to the wheels so it’s no surprise that it was able to reach such a high speed in just a mile.

Just as they did with a Porsche 911 back in January, Switzer has taken a Porsche GT2 and beefed it up way past stock. Just how far past stock? Well, it pumps out an amazing 800hp but the real thrill of it all is it does it on 93 Octane pump gas.
