Family is something we think about a lot here at Switzer Performance, and not just because we have three generations of Switzer tinkering around within these walls. No, we’ve been thinking about family because the 2 Switzer-tuned, Nissan GTR-based Ultimate Street Edition supercars you see here belong to brothers! “It’s been great working with these …
With its twin-turbocharged power-plant, advanced engine management systems, highly computerized transmission, aggressive exhaust note, and 700 horsepower worth of pump-gas performance, the car you see here is everything you’d expect to see roll out of Tym Switzer’s Oberlin, Ohio-based supercar factory … with a few key differences.
