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.
