Those cars are freaking bad. He’s a pretty good driver, it’s possible that the Z06 owners/drivers may have been at a disadvantage. Either way, he consistently finished ahead of the Z06s, at least the ones that didn’t have forced induction. > > GTR is sick. Tony was driving an auto/manushift deal, are they offering a 3 pedal model in the U.S.? assuming these guys were going balls to the wall, then the gtr would appear to be faster. there is also the question of how good the other drivers are. no manual shift option is available on the gtr in the US or any where for that matter. nissan did a good job of making sure the car only needed minor changes from one country to another to be street legal. > [@Decent Tripod....](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/decent-tripod/36491/6): > > not right away according to Nissan, but not out of the question. This being Nissan…I’d imagine there will be at least a R-tune, Z-tune, S-tune, Nismo track tune, WTFBBQ tune…you know that sort of thing…one of them will be available with a manual 6spd gtr spec v is already in the works for 2010 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gt-r-does-7-29-around-nurburgring/197592)._
