I by no means qualify myself as a track car expert but I can give you some insight as to what Steve has told me during and after each event about the GT-R. If you do a search for GT-R on the message boards, Steve has posted a few times in other threads reguarding its' performance.
Flat out, for a car completely out of the box stock, it is the most amazing car he says he has ever driven. For a 3900 pound pig, running 20" run flat tires it can run with all but the fastest modified cars. When or if 20" R Comps are introduced, (hopefully next year) the car will be just that more amazing.
My first track experience, I was a passenger with Steve driving the GT-R around the Glen. Pulling nearly 2 G's in Turns 6 and 7. Needless to say, I've been hooked ever since.
When I was searching for a car, the Z06 was also near the top of list. IMO, I'm sure the Z06 is equally impressive to drive but for someone like myself who is learning, the Z06 would be alot harder to drive at my limits then the GT-R is.
Even Steve Meanan got a chance to drive it at Pocono and his exact words when he got out of the car was "holy f**k!"
I'm sure when Steve gets a moment, he will give you somemore in depth "play by play."
