Firstly, Stop all this bitchin around

Ok. I do believe that the GT-R has legitimately won that race. I think the times were based on when the cars started to move. If you look closely, the Viper started a lot earlier and by the end of the run they were neck and neck. Also the Viper is a strict track car and is geared VERY TALL. Thats why it lost. The normal Viper is a bit faster on the straits and should've come closer to the GT-R in that race. Also technology does sometimes beat brute force.

Ex. Bugatti Veyron, 1001hp, 4500lbs = 0-60 in 2.46 sec
SSC Ultimate Aero, 1184hp, ~2800lbs = 0-60 in 2.73 sec

The Veyron has computers move all the power around the car for optimal traction. The GT-R does the same:

Ex. Nissan GT-R, 480hp, 3800lbs, = 0-60 in 3.3
Ferrari 599 GTB, 620hp, 3800lbs, = 0-60 in 3.7
