curious just how much of a diff does a superior car make?

also all you have to look at is the ring times, the gtr is like number 4 out of every car on the planet that way allot less and have way more power, thats including your enzo's, carerra gt, italia, mp412c, all the hyper cars!!!! the zr1,viper, and a couple of others beat the gtr

Once again, who is setting those ring times that people love to cite?

Professional drivers, going all-out 10/10ths of their ability.

Yes, it is one indicator of a car's performance potential. But a 7.5 minute ring time can't make a scrub faster on a track.

I have never driven a GTR, only read ton and tons of reviews from people who have. One of the things that is almost universal is how easy it is for a novice to get in an do amazing around a track. The electronics in that car are just so dang good.

I'm not even thinking about the HP difference. I will, of course, yield to the experts here. Just tossing in my 2 cents.

My point is that every car on the list is driven to the max by a pro and yet the gtr shines, why is it faster than the enzo? Because it can carry more speed in and out of a turn and it shifts way faster. Enough to make up the power and weight disadvantage.
