The only reason the GT R is a "beast" is simply the AWD. It's heavy and at 545 HP it barely makes more power than a Z06. Problem with a Z06 (and ZR1 for that matter) is getting the power to the ground. Corvettes, even the base model, are horifically traction limited. Try shifting into 2nd in a Z06 on a hard acceleration and you'll easily brake the tires loose...........easily. That won't happen in a GT R.
Not distrespecting the GT R. It is a great car. A true decendant of the Skyline which we sadly never got here in the US other than grey market imports. But it's claim to fame is the AWD. Without that it's essentially a ZL1 or GT500 competitor (3818 pounds even from Nissan's website)
