GTR
HP: ~ 520-540 AWHP
Weight ~3800 lbs


So it would be close at a roll, but the GTR would get you on every shift.

But thats just the numbers.

Your numbers are slightly off. A 370z weighs roughly 3,232 pounds according to online sources. Even if they weigh in at 3300lbs thats still 200lbs lighter than 3500. The weight on the GTR is correct but how are you getting 520-540awhp if thats what they are crank? Also, there are two different GTR's as everyone knows. The older GTR's with 465hp wouldnt stand a chance against a 500rwhp 370z on a roll. Thats almost 100whp more and give or take 500lbs lighter. A newer GTR will be a much better race but i strongly believe that a TT 370z putting out 500rwhp + can take a stock GTR from a roll. Simple mods to a GTR will blow the Z out of the water though.

Call me crazy but i would still prefer a built/turbo 370z over a GTR any day. In my opinion i think its more of a driver's car. I honestly couldn't afford out of warrantly maintenance, and insurance for one either. Don't get me wrong, GTR's are amazing cars, but they just arn't for me.
