Ha, I do wonder what a private party GTR will do. I don't see how sucking at driving would affect an AWD car with launch control, but its been proven time and again that you simply can't match manufacturer claims these days (if indeed they are overestimating, as the Japanese regularly do). Still, I don't doubt they'll get quicker than that. It reminds me of the '93 MKIV introduction days, one of Toyota's press cars in the hands of C&D had its boost turned all the way up to 4.6 sec. 0-60 and bottom 13 1/4's approaching 110 traps - prod. cars were 5.2ish 0-60 and 13.4-5's at 105.
