It also has the complexity, cost, and heat-issues inherent to a turbo setup.
Thats a differernt car that has a back seat and more stable seats then the vette. Im sure you take that V8 vette and put in the V6 TT and its lighter than before. You have to look at each cars weight from what it was before not what another car is that doesnt have a back seat. And even though the GTR has less HP its faster.
