Hennessey offers 600hp Nissan GT-R package



The Nissan GT-R, or Godzilla as it's commonly known, is one fast car. It's also Motor Trend's Car of the Year. And next year will bring the GT-R V Spec, with more power to the tune of 520hp.



Of course, more is never enough, so Henessey is offering an assortment of upgrades that will boost a GT-R to 600hp. There are a total of seven mods in the package, and none of them seriously alter anything, like the stainless steel turbo downpipes and a wastegate actuator upgrade. But they do add 120hp to the already formidable car.



While there is no price on the package (only listed with "Call"), there is also an affordable Stage 1 kit that upgrades the car's software for an increase of 65hp and 75lbft for only $995.



Hit the link here to check out the two packages.

1968 Mustang Fastback from Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift on Ebay



The 68 Mustang Fastback in The Fast and the Furious : Tokyo Drift stole the show at the end of the movie, but purists surely scoffed when they realized that it was powered by a Nissan Skyline GT-R turbocharged motor.



Surely one of the only, if not the only classic Stang powered by a GT-R motor, this car is now for sale on Ebay. As of this moment the bids are up to $45,000 and the reserve has not yet been met.



A list of some of the modifications done to the car include: Wilwood four wheel disc brakes with 4 pistons up front, Volk GT-7 19 x 9 wheels up front and 19 x 10 in rear, Toyo Praxes T1R tires, KYB shocks, Flaming River rack & pinion steering, Sperco Intercooler, G Ready manifolds, N1 Magflow Exhaust, Fuel safe fuel cell with stainless lines, Global West upper lower control arms, Wenco drive shaft, 9" Currie rear end, Year One interior including new replacement seats, Hurst shifter, and front power windows.



Since completion of the movie, the fastback has been on display in a museum near Chicago. This car was only driven around 200 miles for filming purposes and was not the stunt car.



You can view the listing here.
