I'll be the first to admit that I think I"m a decent driver, and I goto 5-6 track days a year with my 240. (Pocono, Glen, NJMP, LR, Monticello etc etc...been to all of the Northeast tracks)
With that said, I will be the first to admit that even I do not think I have the balls to 'wring out' a GTR (or a ZR1) to their mechanical limit. They really do take a special driver, and a good one, to go fast.
Don't get me wrong, I think the Vettes are more capable cars, but in that same statement I'll also admit to 'cutting hairs' sort to speak there. It's also hard to compare a 600 hp 'light' car to a 400 hp 'heavy' one.
Also, I could give 2 shits if my car had a clutch. In theory, I'd love the GTR's gearbox in my 240...it would undoubtedly make me faster.
