Nice run..and good kill, but think about this...the GTR is still stock and weighs about 1000lbs more...and yours isn't and doesn't...Do you know this guy? What do you think the outcome would be if the GTR had the same mods as you and some slight weight loss?

BTW...Porsche 996TT's are considerably easy to drop weight off relative to the GTR. There are a lot of heavy parts on the 996TT, more so than on the newer and more luxurious GTR, which actually had a fair amount of factory weight reduction applied to it during the design phase.
