And on a track? I think the GT-R will take a ZR-1 as well.
that is not how a supercharger works. that's the point that the power-to-traction ratio starts to favor the ZR1 where it isn't spinning but is able to put down the extra hundred horses in a much lighter car and pull ahead. up until that point it's fighting with traction control (or launch control really). as the R35 GTR creeps up in hp every year, i'd be curious to see how it stacks up it's last year of production. if it's pushing closer to 600hp it might actually stand a chance of beating the ZR1, if not it'd be damn close i'm sure
