I would take the R8 or GT-R myself because you can not beat the price/performance of the GT-R but the R8 is beast. Get the v10 R8 though hehe. I wouldn't build the 370z for track because of all the problems that would be associated with it, I would take one from the factory that is simply a beast and has factory track options such as carbon ceramic brakes etc. That way you won't have to make crappy looking ducts to the brakes to help cool no matter what you do along with the ABS and fuel starvation issues. The vehicle wouldn't even be a DD vehicle anymore.

No Porsche is faster than an R8?
I'm pretty sure the Porsche GT2/ RS will rip the R8 a new one.

Nordschleife:
GT2 RS: 7:18
R8: 7:44
Carrera GT? No problem

The New 911 Turbo is quicker in a straight line and probably around track but there hasn't been enough test to actually prove anything yet.
Regardless, the Audi R8 isn't faster than any Porsche.
The Nissan GT-R? It recently lost to the new Porsche 911 Turbo in a Road & Track comparison. Not because of it's "numbers" but because it's a far better "drivers car". And yes, they took price into account.
Track numbers don't tell the full story.
