If
Wikipedia is to be believed, keep in mind that the GTR was only 1.54 seconds behind (after 442 seconds - 0.3% difference) with the disadvantage of a "semi-wet" track. And despite more horsepower, the GTR is heavy enough to have a power-to-weight disadvantage compared to the Z06. (The lap time listed in Wikipedia was done with, it appears, the 523 hp version.) The fact that it was so close given those challenges is pretty remarkable. Strip the GTR down to Z06 weight (probably wouldn't be street legal then
) and adjust the hp down to 505 hp like with the Z06, and I suspect the tables would be turned...
