The supercomputers that make up the AWD system on the GTR are able to use a lot more available grip than if the car had Dunlop Superslip No-Grips.
It has not been untli the last half decade or so that "street cars" needed race spec rubber to exploit their potential
on the street.
This is the difference between marketing a large spectrum car and a single focuses car.
Nissan chose to exploit all facets to put on sale a "911 Turbo beater" - however, in so doing they crossed that barrier between "general" audiance, and "niche" audience.
Not how the 911 Turbo is sold with street tyres, while the GT3 RS is sold with street-legal track tyres.
The point is simply that the GTR achieves what it does by altering the variables that other manufacturers didnt bother changing for their general consumption audiences.
You might note the difference between the tyres Dodge provides with the ACR and the "regular" SRT/10... 220 PS2's vs 80 Sportcups.
This in and of itself would make a direct comparison between sya the 911 Turbo and the ACR pointless... the one starts with actual race rubber as used in certain class racing while the other starts with regular produciton high mileage tyres.
I find int very strange that the GTR fanbrigade cannot see these truths for what they are.
The GTR is only able to do what it does, because of the tyres it ships with.
Lets see what a GTR with 220 rated PS2's does to end this argument
