Wrong. Acceleration out of the corner isn't the same as straightline acceleration. The car is turning and accelerating at the same time. Basicly, slow and medium speed corner exit GTR is faster than anything. Cornering + acceleration = GTR’s virtue (i would explain but tired of typing much). And if you're familar with circuit racing you should be aware that generally corner exit is much more important than corner entry...

They should be if its steady state where the cars making it up. Its certainly not making it up with turn in (where the weight distribution is too foobared). So that only leaves steady state and initial bite. Again it all comes back too the times not being believable with the data given. Could it be faster yes.. Could it have the times its showing.. Well something doesnt jive.

Anyway if you really care so much about why/where GTR is faster as your posts suggest, there’re several BM videos available, take your time and watch them. No need to read about the GTR, no need to discuss the GTR, no need to doubt the GTR, you can see the GTR with your own eyes! Here, i’ve even posted you the links!

Can it get better than this?
