The crazy thing about the video is that the GT-R is STOCK!

Damn that STI sounded sweet.

I thought the weight difference would equalize things on the straight, but I guessed wrong...

I think it comes down to the gearing. If that STI has the same ratios as us, the speeds it is pushing make it hit 5th gear pretty quick on that straight. And as we all know, 5th and 6th gear are not the STIs strength.

Still a sweet video though. I wonder what my car would feel like with 350whp and only 2800lbs.

I don't know...
That STi's acceleration on the speedometer didn't look like it was really that quick.

The GT-R is just stupid crazy for a stock car. That thing just PULLS and for 75k there's nothing that comes close to it, maybe even for a 110k.

The STi did a damn good job in my eyes. The GT-R was barely a spec when the green flag dropped. Props for catching up to that badass
