We see in C&D the Z06 beat the GT-R from 100-150 by 5 SECONDS!!!! And the altitude is identical.

We see on the ring, the headwind only slows the ZR-1 down to only a little faster than the Z06 is going with Horst driving.

The exit speed from Galkenkopf is a little over 100 mph and the bridge comes up at about 145 mph. So there is sufficient time for the ZR-1 to gap the GT-R, yet it's only 1 second ahead while still going faster than a Z06 with no headwind. What gets better is that the ZR-1 seperates another second for the first part of the stretch and then the GT-R catches and passes it in a matter of a couple hundred feet. They end up even by the time they reach the black sign at the end and then the ZR-1 takes Dottinger hohe faster than the GT-R and gains a second back through the turn.


To top that off, we'd also have to assume the GT-R conditions were that much greater than the ACR, Z06, and Zonda's as well because all of their respective times add up for the weight/power ratios and gearing.

Funny how everyone else acceleration makes sense OTHER than the GT-R. So you can come up with all the excuses in the world but only one thing makes sense and that's the GT-R had much more power than any stock one that's been sold.
