New 4WD 1/4mile World Record

No not an evo, but 4WD World Record nonetheless.

Looks as if the World Record for the fastest 4WD has been smashed by Reece McGregor's Heat Treatments GTR from NZ at the recent meet at the Willowbank Raceway in QLD.

Get this:

7.59s@308.36km/h



Check out the sideways action:

Awesome. Especially as this now beats the BS record "held" by the HKS team (no video, no time slip).

P.S Thx xlr8

I've only seen this on a GT-R, apparently japanese or euro tuners have found a way for the skyline to switch from 4wd to 2wd by a flick of a switch, probably from some kind of add-on device.

I don't know if there's a shop out there that would have this device available for an evo or a wrx, if there's any I would like to know.

I know that the new awd system of the 911 turbo allows you to switch power 100% to either end. It may be something like that. Hell, it was side steppin' like a awd car. Awesome job at that...
