Not to be rude... but what is your point?

My friend in his almost stock gtr ran a 2.11. most likely its was a stock gtr that chris was behind or s similar set up to my buddy.

If your friend had a downpipe and exhaust, that adds A LOT Of power to a turbo car... a TBE on an Evo for instance often results in a 30-40 whp gain... and you are comparing it to a NA 370 that MIGHT be putting 320 whp to the ground.

I would say stock GTR or not the Z did very well.. and there were other cars that he also beat that "should" have beaten him.

Im not saying that stuff doesnt add hp. Plus that track (The Glen) isnt a hp track anyway. All i said it was CLOSE to stock or a SIMILAR set up to my friends bc they ran they ran almost the same time.

obv the car chris ran againt wasnt heavily modded. thats my point. im not trying to make an argument out of this
