the price is questionable, but it's a collector thing, still for that money i would rather grab a viper or a z06 to whip around the track and 1/4

Never did I see where you rightfully acknowledged that was an atypical time for that car. All your posts indicate that you felt the car was underperforming when its really the driver. And that is what both myself and fdjizm take issue with.

Is it overpriced? I think so. Spending an extra ~$35000 over a regular GT500 for a minor performance increase (vs a 2008 GT500) and exclusivity? No thanks. Super Snakes are a different story, but the KR? I would have taken a regular GT500, Z06, or Viper over it, if I had that sort of money to spend on a car.
Maybe I need to spell it out next time in the original post. What I meant by "What is the best stock GT500KR time?" and "According to this video," is ( I would say obviously, but it apparently was not) that since I knew GT500KR could get better times that would only leave one thing left to make that particular GT run a bad time, A DRIVER.
