YMMV. Exactly! Maybe you're faster. Which is another argument
against whatever is said in the media about "The Ring" track times and this car.
Be it Porsche or Nissan, all of these specialty cars are very fast at doing exactly the same thing on a racetrack. But as another poster said, it's just a Datsun (or Nissan). At that point, one could (or has to) consider the brand. And in my opinion, the Porsche brand takes the Nissan brand hands down. In five years time, this GT-R, will be worth at most half of what the GT-3 will be worth because of name alone. I believe this should be a consideration when spending $100,000+ on a specialty car.
As for the Elise or RX8, given any track with a skilled driver, that Nissan very well could be toast.
