Well it looks like the GT-R is indeed very special and under-rated. Is it time to talk about the rest of the car's systems now without all the arguments.
What I meant was that maybe on a joint by joint or shaft by shaft perspective it may be more efficient (simply newer and purpose built/high-end hardware) but as we both know many more shafts it is likely less efficient overall.
