While Suzuki’s Swift, Kizashi or Vitara are never likely to take on Nissan’s mighty GT-R, their sports bikes surely can. In the latest drag race (it’s actually a one-year-old video), a Suzuki GSX-R1000 goes up against the fabled GT-R.
Although the 200-hp GSX-R1000 got whooped by the more powerful 270-hp GSX 1300R Hayabusa, the motorcycle still has what it takes to beat the GT-R. At 200 kilograms, the GSX-R1000 is 1.5 tons lighter than the slightly modified 600-hp Nissan, nevertheless, the sports car’s got more traction from its clever four-wheel drive system.
Watch the interesting battle in the video below (skip to 0:46 for the GSX-R1000 vs GT-R).
