Seeing Double: USE GTR
No, you’re not seeing double – this is a pair of identically-prepared 2013 Switzer Performance Ultimate Street Edition GTRs getting ready to head home to their new owners. “We usually highlight the cars that really grab people’s attention, like the two brother’s cars or the Red Katana, that have custom wheels, interiors, paint-jobs,” explains Neil [...]
Sibling Rivalry: Part 3
The cars pictured above, as you’ve already seen, were built as a “set” for a pair of Ohio brothers who share a passion for fast automobiles that must be in their DNA. In addition to being 1000 hp street-beasts, these Ultimate Street Edition Switzer Performance GTRs are also highly-detailed customs, with subtle paint and finish [...]

Sibling Rivalry: Part 2
As you already know, the two cars you see here were built as a pair. Two Ultimate Street Edition GTRs for two brothers. Oddly enough, the two cars – like the two men who drive them – are genetically similar, yet hugely different in expression and personality. This first car we’ll be looking at is [...]

2000 HP “Big Papa” GTR
Nitromethane is pretty interesting stuff. When it’s mis-handled or inhaled, it can be extremely toxic – turning lips and skin blue as it displaces the oxygen in your veins. When it’s burned deep in the heart of an expertly blue-printed and balanced Switzer-built racing engine, however, nitromethane can be a wonderful thing. How wonderful? Try [...]

Red Katana 2.0
By now, some of you have probably checked out the amazing (and official) Chadbee photo gallery over at GTR Heritage covering the TX2K13. Having seen the coverage there and on the Revvolution website, you know that the Switzer-prepared “Red Katana” R1K-X GTR was at the event, and that the car ran strong – posting 3 [...]

DSport vs. Red Katana
When the Switzer Performance-tuned “Red Katana” R1K-X GTR broke cover for the first time last summer, it was an immediate sensation. With its two-tone paint job, beautifully appointed and quilted-leather interior, subtle (but effective) body mods, and window-rattling audio system, it should come as no surprise that the Red Katana got plenty of attention … [...]
