Default Re: Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

Anyone who has ever driven a car on a track knows that the 'advantage' goes to the car that is most well suited to the particular track. Big HP cars like Vipers and Vette's require long straights to take advantage of their strength, which is speed in the 60 mph+ range. If you aren't at a track where you can get speeds of plus 130, the GT-R will probably have the advantage, which clearly was the case at Buttonwillow. Get into a really tight track, and it should be compared with a Lotus or Subaru, not a Viper or Vette. As an aside, I wonder why they didn't do the comparison at Willowsprings where they did the 'evil twins' comparison, or VIR, where they were going to supposedly do their new car comparisons for equality sake?
