Something isn't adding up. The skid pad advantage goes to the ZO6, the 0-60 mph as well by a hair and the 1/4 mile SIGNIFICANTLY, braking is off by 3 feet and yet the GTR supposedly does the Nurburgring 4 seconds faster? Hmmmmm, Porsche even said that the only way they could have even come close to achieving there claimed times was by using slicks.
I think now u need to change this too, because 3.7 to 4.3 is deff not by a hair

Cool

This is ridiculous. Even a stock C6 will smoke the GTR off the line now.

Braking is better on the GTR by 3 feet. GTR also allows much quicker exit out of corners due to AWD. 1/4 mile and 0-60 is meaningless on the Nurburgring, which is not a drag strip.

GTR handling balance is also much better through bumpy or undulating corners. The best lap time with a stock GTR was 7:29, not 7:38.

The ring has plenty of time to open a car up and that is where the zO6 has a huge advantage considering any AWD 400+ hp or not is significantly slower while rolling 60+ mph.

Maybe Nissan should've just dropped the turbo VQ in the Z instead and charged $40-50k for it.
