Well "walk all over" might be a bit of an exageration... but it certainly has a chance at beating the ZR1 by a second or two.

true, it probably is an exageration, but shaving a few pounds off that 800lb weight handicap that the GT-R has and pulling a little more power from the engine will more than likely make up for the 3-second gap and them sone.

I would love to argue with you about that. Basically, I don't think Chevy will allow it.

I haven't heard about any of those except the regular V-Spec, which supposedly ran an unconfirmed 7:25. I still think Chevy might offer a special performance package on the ZR1 to battle the V-Spec, otherwise they're in trouble.

Yeah, they're on both GT and Forza, but even then you have to really pay attention to even know the difference. I don't know if they'd do a Spec-Nur like they didn with the R34 since that was released as the premium tuning and suspension spec as tuned on the Nurburgring and the R35 as a whole was tuned mostly on the Nurburgring. V-spec isn't confirmed yet but we all know they're making it, V-spec II would probably come out after a few years as they did with the R34. I actually wouldn't be at all surprised if they release some special edition versions if the GT-R Cup car wins some big races like Le Mans or something.
