re straight line, I've seen figures of 0.27 for the GT-R and 0.31 for the Z06.
That's 10% ... so MUCH more power needed to push the Z06 at top speeds.
Weight is not a major issue when testing top speed as nobody says how long it should take to get there
Aero resistance is MAJOR factor and will be interesting to see real world numbers confirm/denying all this FBS ( Fanboi Bull Shit )
