Damp track at a 7:38.

Same time as the base GTR. Nice!

Honestly, I expected it to be faster.... I mean it's still fast, but I figured it would run around the same times as the V-Spec GT-R.... kind of odd to have Japanese cars running faster times than American & European cars, I'm glad the Japanese finally broke that bullshit "Gentleman's Agreement" they had about not rating cars above 276hp (280ps IIRC) and can finally start squeezing big power out of their cars. Never would I have thought that a Japanese car could represent a better road course bang/buck than the mighty Corvette...

Make note that the track was "damp." I'm sure on a dry track it can shave some more seconds.

I understand that, although after looking at pics, it appears to be that the V-Spec made it's run when there were a few snow flakes falling to the ground... but, point conceded.

Point noted... However, and not cause I'm bias toward Nissan cause I LOVE the C6 ZO6, I'd take the GTR V-Spec over the ZR-1.
