 you are correct there Wes..the roadcar is simply too heavy also.But this GT1 has less weight and is not fitted with a 5.6liter V8.
So that brings it somewhat closer to other GT1 race cars.
 Not as competitive as one would imagine.

 I think many people not familiar with racing would assume that the GT-R's world-beating performance in the roadgoing version would automatically translate into dominant racing performance. However, with most major GT racing series outlawing 4WD in favor of plain old rear wheel drive (and, of course, banning the use of traction control systems) this immediately negates the GT-R's performance advantage. I mean, if you take away the GT-R's AWD and trick differentials, you're left with little more than a big, heavy twin-turbo 380Z. I certainly would be surprised if the GT-R made any splash in any GT series other than JGTC. I would certainly not expect it to usurp any of the dominant manufacturers in any GT class (Porsche/Ferrari in GT2 and Corvette/Aston/Maserati in GT1).
