At 14psi, the GT-R I was running makes about 450whp on our Dyno Dynamics, and probably close to 500whp on a typical DynoJet. I think the Ferrari makes about 550 engine HP, so overall, I am sure I was putting down a bit more power to the ground, but not much. From a weight standpoint, I am speculating about 500lbs disadvantage on my end. My R888's were fairly worn, and on their last legs. I can't comment about his tires, other than they were full race slicks, or his driving. In tires alone, there is 2-3 seconds advantage he should have on me.

All I know, is that if I owned a Ferrari F430GT and saw a Nissan and Z06 on my bumper, I would be going 10/10ths.
