There is so much more to a GT R than just a few extra horses; I agree. Until the GT BS arrives it remains the top of the ‘food chain’ in the GT line-up regardless of what one does to the GT/GTS. Granted if all you’re worried about is going fast in 1/4 mile increments, then by all means buy a lightly used GT/GTS, add power (cheaply) and be very quick at your local drag race venue. If you want to be rapid in OEM trim around a road course, then you need to buy the GT R.

I used to have 2000 HP Camaro, for far less than 80K. Anything can be made to go fast. It's the whole package that matters.
