Btw the GT-R was benchmarked against the 997 911 Turbo.

Fair enough, have a look at the link below, it gives an indication by the amount of exotics it has belted.

I was looking at that list last night... the GT-R is pretty crazy. It's faster than any Ferrari, any Lamborghini, any Mercedes-Benz, any BMW, 99% of Porsches, need I say more?

at the moment its slower than the ls9 vette and the latest srt viper round the ring. But theres still the vspec and the nismo itteration still to come. Not to mention the countless tuning shop versions...

I highly doubt any Holden/HSV would come close to 7mins 29sec around the nurburgring.
