Re: ZR1 vs. GTR around the RING
The GT-R than ran the ring in 7:29 was almost certainly weilding much more than 480 horsepower. If you watch the videos, the GT-R basically keeps up with the ZR1 over the big straightaway at the end of the lap.
In a recent stock/stock Porsche Turbo -vs- GT-R comparison at the Nurburgring by Drivers Republic in Britain, the Porsche was 17mph faster than the GT-R on the back straight. The ZR1 is of course faster than the Porsche, which leaves no logical conclusion except that the 7:29 Nissan was well up on power from a stock car.
The ZR1 can go faster, the GT-R had to cheat to hit 7:29. That doesn't mean the GT-R isn't a really interesting and cool car, it just means its not in ZR1 territory for performance.
