The GT-R, at 3900lbs, is just too heavy to go 50 minutes at a competitive pace at it's power levels. Heck, even much lighter race cars on slicks have to manage their tires for a sprint like that. The brakes could easily become an issue too.
The 1st Gen. CTS-V at 3800lbs could compete, but it isn't as fast, hence less tire/brake wear. Either way, the transitions will hurt it too.
Oh, Nissan "defined" a Supercar: 8.8lbs per hp or less, 186mph speed obtainable on public roads, sub 8min 'Ring time. I guess that makes the CTS-V 6M a super car too!
