Under estimate the GT-R at your own peril.
Still, let's wait and see how the GT-R holds up...
It is also easy to drive around town, I drove the One Lap winning car around Thursday/Friday/Saturday and was quite jealous of the cush ride those guys had. (Especially when thinking about 2:00 lap at Daytona, 1:34s at Road Atlanta, 2:04s at VIR..)

The GT-R that just won the Tire Rack One Lap of America is at 30,000 miles - around 5,000 of them on track... I am impressed with how that one is holding up..

I think that most people take a look at the weight and say no way can it be that competitive.
I recently ran a Time Trial with COMSCC at Watkins Glen and there was one that showed up. He ran a 2:11 completely stock including his street tires. I spoke to this individual and he admitted to me that he runs all the driver aids on. I would say they were doing something right.
And a 2:04 at VIR on street tires is also unbelievable. Given that it was a one-lap car it likely had some other mods but still that's moving on streets!

During One Lap it had a flash and was at 470-520whp (depending on dyno) it also had an active wing (g-force adjusted angle of attack) and a different front splitter.
