That's really a stretch to still call it a gt-r.

Meh, I don't care much for dedicated race cars. They have so little in common with the street car that it really doesn't impress me anymore. Regardless of the brand or type of vehicle.

I absolutely agree. That's one of the main reasons I love watching American Le Mans racing. You see an F430 go by and it has the same V8 in it, followed by a Viper that has the same V10 as the street version, etc...

When a car has been modded to that extent (where it's no longer considered street legal), then how is this any better than a motorcycle running 6s or a little drag car in the 6s?

You literally have to change the ENTIRE car when you wanna drive it on the track from when you wanna put it back on the streets.
