At the TX2k15 event held March 19-22, AMS Performance Alpha GT-Rs were out in full force for the races held on the Royal Purple Raceway dragstrip in Baytown, Texas. These included the Diamonds by Wire Alpha 20 GT-R and the TSM Alpha 16 GT-R.
While the Alpha 20 GT-R, driven by Gideon Chamdi, was running during the Test and Tune on Sunday, March 22, he broke a new record. After flying down the 1/4 mile strip and crossing the finish at 180 mph, he recorded a time of 7.94 seconds. This made him the first customer to ever run 7s in an R35 GT-R.
