I would say this was a BS video.

you make no sense. you are saying the GTR has a better launch...which is shown in the vid, then that the Vette has more HP (which is shown in the vid as well) and TQ + better aerodynamics (known fact). The vid portrays just that....launch GTR owns (+ it has the HKS kit), then further down the road when overall hp + tq + aerodynamic really come into play the Vette catches up.

I make perfect sense... By the end of the race (I assume was more than a quarter based on the time it took to finish - 20 seconds) there is no way that the GTR got so far ahead on the launch that the Vette wouldn't have beat it. So I call BS.

Look, I'm not knocking Nissan. I'm just saying that those numbers don't add up right.
