N-ring:
GT-R Nismo ($150K - 600 HP, 479T) - lap time 7:08<-for those who think it's "boring" and "drives itself".

918 Spyder ($845K - 608/887 HP, 940T ) - lap time 6:57
997 GT2 RS ($250K - 620 HP, 516T) - lap time 7:18
997 GT3 RS 4.0 ($250K - 500 HP,339T) - lap time 7:27
Ferrari 458 Italia ($240K - 570 HP, 398T) - lap time 7:28
McLaren 12C ($240K - 616 HP, 445T) - lap time 7:28
991 GT3 - still on fire...
Did not know the Nissan had only 600HP.... i do greatly respect that car, i would never buy one because they are much to mainstream, the sports car for the gearhead that knows nothing but numbers and speed.

I really respect the car, even though its fast because of its genuinely out of this world awd system. And i do have to give them props for keeping six cylinders at the top of the ring.... So many cars today can be bought with 550 plus hp.... yet still its the 6 cylinder cars that know a thing or two about weight balance and corners that rule the ring. Back to the original argument though the Hybrid system in the Porsche is no more unconventional than the sorcery that happens in the gtr's AWD system.

What bothers me isnt when someone says a gtr is fast, what bothers me is when they say its a great car.
