I believe it was Driver's Republic who brought a factory GT-R and a factory GT2 to the ring for a matchup. Both were driven by the same driver under the same conditions. The GT2 was faster in the hands of that particular driver. That sort of test is 1000x more enlightening to me than a single "glory run" done for p.r. purposes.
