Pop quiz, what is the hottest car in the world right now? No, not the Dacia Sandero, that would be the Nissan R35 GTR. Packed with gadgets and gobs of tire-churning horsepower, this car might just be the fastest thing you can buy for less than $100,000 -- by a long shot. Of course, you don't want to keep it stock. Simple tuning has proven that this car is capable of over 500whp (that's to the wheels) with just an exhaust and an ECU reflash.

The Perrin boys have gone a bit farther and really given their GTR a little more grunt under the bonnet. We had a chance to hang out at Alta/Perrin headquarters for a night to see what they have been up to. We also had Cassie along to show us that the ladies really do prefer boost.
