Yup, GTR's do well against cars you wouldn't think they should.
Between the flat as hell mountain of torque, and the DSG..well..YUM.
While the Rotary was waiting to make boost at 78,000rpm's and make torque between 78,000 to 79,200, the GTR can leap out and hold on for a while. With just a de-cat and flash the race outcome would be quite different.
