5 seconds would be a butt kicking but that Z28 time is in the rain and I don't think that GT350R time is official. Regardless I don't think anyone should put ANY stock in track times when trying to compare closely matched cars. There are way too many variables. Track conditions, Density Altitude, and most importantly driver make a monumental difference of how fast a car will be around the track. Only way to know what car is truely faster is run them head to head same day and same professional driver.
