Anyone who read our blog knows we, like most other car nuts out there, go weak in the knees when it comes to the Nissan GT-R. The car has already become somewhat of an instant classic, a performance benchmark of sorts against which even companies like Porsche measure themselves. This is why we take note when someone thinks there is more performance to be extracted from this accessible supercar.

Stillen, the aftermarket specialist founded by race legend Steve Millen, has always had a cozy relationship with Nissan, so it is no surprise that it has been working on its own version of the GT-R. Say hello to the STILLEN R35 GT-R, the rally-prepped GT-R that Steve Millen will be racing in the Targa Newfoundland rally in Canada. The numbers are impressive, especially when you consider the standard car's 480 hp has been increased to a monstrous 620 hp. Here are the vital statistics from Stillen's website:

    •    Horsepower: 620 @ 15psi (91 Octane Pump Gas)
    •    0-60mph: 2.9 seconds **
    •    1/4 Mile: 11.0 seconds at 127.9mph **
    •    0-130mph: 11.4 seconds **
    •    Lateral Grip: 1.1G+ ** ** (as tested by Road & Track)

The video shows the R-35 being shaken down prior to the Newfoundland raly.
