The description is in Japanese so I cannot make it out, but this clip shows several Nissan Skyline and R35 GT-Rs making a quick pass in front of a crowd. None of the cars have reverse gears so they must then be pushed back and drive back the other direction.

Stock R35 GT-R runs 11.67 at 111.6 MPH

It hits the 180 KM/Hour (111.6 MPH) governor yet still manages an 11.67. It likely would not run the quarter much faster with the speed limiter removed, but the trap speed would probably be slightly higher. Still, not too shabby.
