a 480 hp car that weighs 3800 lbs is not faster than an equlivant 500 hp car that weighs 3200 lbs. nothing changed there.
a 550 hp car that weighs 3800 lbs with r compound tires is faster than a the 500 hp - 3200 lbs car with ultra high performance tires. no surprise there.
nissan did not violate any laws of physics or change any game. all they did is put r comp tires on a very fast car. z51 vette, gt3 911 ect would all be faster with comparable tires.
gtr owners will be in for a shock when they realize the bang for the buck they expected just isn't there when they have to replace their first set of tires after 10 hot laps or 2000 miles of street use. anyone who is actually using this car as it is meant to be used, will be spending as much on tires as they are on the car payment.
