I think a well-tuned C63 could run with a bone-stock GTR - the MHP and MKB cars seem to support this, vs. what I've read as car-mag test times for the GTR (11.5 @ low 120s). I strongly suspect that the GTR is much more forgiving, however, with launch control and awd - even relatively inexperienced drivers could likely do very well with it. C63 less so... you'd have to launch it near-perfect for it to be close (IMHO).

Agree, many of the "stock" GT-R are trapping in the 116mph area. I suspect the mags got some juiced GT-R's to get to 120's. The launch and traction make it a killer that allow less talented drivers become heros. Have to give Nissan credit for raising the bar. Porsche guys are beside themself, got to love it.

When I first got my GTR, it didn't feel as insanely fast as what the magazines described, but I still managed to beat my friend's Superleggera from a roll.

We have one of each local with software but they haven't had the luxury if meeting each other yet I don't think. I need to invite them out to our next track event.
