-Brakes were only improved up front? I may be mistaken, there...

Optionally,
-bilstein shocks weren't what allowed the GTR to beat the ZL1 around Inde...MR is vastly superior part for part...
-3 factory-installed cooling systems?

EDIT:

Additionally...I'm curious to know how many times the GT500 is allowed to "over rev" to 7000 in a given time period...it sounds great for a drag race, but would appear to leave the car to the same rpm limit as the Z around a road course.
New rotors all around, new calipers in front. I doubt the car could do 202mph with any sort of stability without downforce.
