That's kinda how I feel, Josh. Especially since the body kit is sorta-kinda derived from the FIA GT3 kit in a way. One thing about it that we discovered is that there a
lot of little pieces on the car that are not listed as being different but are. For instance we knew the front wheels were wider but it turns out the front fenders are wider, as well, despite the tires still being 255 width which is the same as the standard GTR. Underneath, almost all of the under trays were different from the standard GTR as well. You'll be able to check this out later today, hopefully
Long story short, it's not just a body kit, a few more ponies and interior trim. There's a lot to the car that's hidden beneath the panels. I didn't drive it "in anger" so I can't really attest to how it feels but I can tell you riding in the passenger seat you would swear you were in something way more nimble than a GTR, like a Miata almost. The turn in was immediate and the grip was fierce. The term "body roll" wasn't even in it's vocabulary. I was quite impressed riding in it.
