They have this thing called the "gentleman's rule" too I guess that they can't post horsepower ratings over 480hp... Expect the v-spec edition to combat the Zr-1 btw.

The fact that their lying doesn't matter, GM's been doing the same trick for years. Its important because it explains the results. I agree that 574 hp is a tad too high, but something in the area of 540 might explain things pretty good. We have been saying from the start that its not possible for a 3800 lb car with 480 hp to run times like the Z06, despite tires, awd, launch control, etc. It doesn't work out. Well those issues can be laid to rest now because the GT-R isn't making 480 hp. its making 500 something in addition to having all those gizmos.
