-100 mph: GTR>Z06 (AWD, short gearing, better tires and seamless shifting from DSG overcompensate for the lesser P.W.R & T.W.R);

Did you look at the graph from motor trend on the previous page. Anything above between 70 and 80 is the z06. Why is it important? Well first because if the vette is ahead by 70 mph, then that means it accelerated faster long before that point to catch up from its 0-60 deficite. Also probably because along with the track articles it proves the koolade is a bit tainted. No one has done a legitamate (read not driven by a nissan driver or a track with a top speed lower then an auto cross course) track comparison.

Once this has been done, people will see the drivetrain loss of Nissans AWD system is more than the approx. 12% loss on a DynoJet dyno for the C5/C6 drivetrain.

No one has argued with you re: greater. What Im pointing out is that the 11 percent of the z06 is 450 rwhp to 505. If the nissan is 430 rwhp, as these tests indicate (oh and tests on a coupled dyno gave at best 450 rwhp as we would expect, which would be road conditions) then 505 engine hp to 430 rwhp would be higher then 11 percent, and actually it would be what we would expect. 15 percent drive train loss is perfectly reasonable. Any more then that that rear better have its own cooling system.
