No way! There is SOO much more to a car than power, and a TT G37 doesn't even have THAT much more power. The GT-R gets to 60 in 3.4 seconds EASY. I've even heard of 3.2 and under with launch control. What will a TT G37 get, mid-4's? The GT-R Transmission, launch control, and ATTESA--among many other things--will kick any G's ***.
Don't get me wrong, a TT G37 is great, and it's still much cheaper (and to some a much better deal) than a GT-R. I'm even considering doing it to mine some time in the next few years once I can afford it. But the two cars just can't really compare.

Exactly...from a roll in a straight line, the G37 TT is going to crush a stock GTR no question about it. On a circuit course, or in the twisties, the GTR is going to crush the G37. But put two excellent drivers behind the wheel of a bone stock GTR, vs. a nicely track prepped G37 TT, and the G37 TT will turn faster lap times.

If anyone wants to loan me their GTR...I would be happy to conduct a back to back test.

For what it's worth, at VIR two weeks ago during our last Time Attack event, my lap times on my 350Z TT were 7 seconds faster than the bone stock GTR. Granted, my car is pretty nicely race prepped, and running stickier tires, so it wasn't a totally fair comparison. But on the other hand, I was only running 400whp to the ground. But 7 seconds is an enternity in circuit course racing.

Can't see how you wouldn't, with less weight, better handling and the 3.7 ready to play with... it's a no-brainer.
