How did that happen? We were as surprised as you. The Z06 has obvious weight, power, and grip advantages, and yet it lost by more than a second. In fact, it barely beat the even less powerful (and lighter) Porsche 911 GT3’s lap time despite a whopping 175-hp and 326-lb-ft advantage. Here’s what the data showed: The Z06 generally out-braked the NISMO and carried more speed through the middle of most corners, but the NISMO was back on the throttle sooner and carried more speed out. What’s more, the NISMO was significantly faster on the straights, besting the Z06’s top speeds by 6 and 7 miles per hour on the front and back straights."

Hmm, I thought ti was closer than that, but yes, the z06's aero slowed it down on the straights, but without it, it was out of control. Regardless, it's still a great car, the GTR Nismo is just better but it does cost more as well. I am not sure how a non-Nismo stacks up against the z06.
