Re: 585HP Nissan GTR vs Porsche Turbo PDK
I was doing a test session at Winton Race Track (in Australia)....and there was a GTR and a spanking new 997 Turbo there as well. Towards the end of the day...the Turbo was still going strong...and the GTR's brakes (even with a upgraded brake package and cooling) and the gear box (even with additional radiators ).....were all cooking and the car was losing performance.
I spoke to the GTR owner....and he made the comment "well that is what you get when you pay half the price of a Turbo....not as much R&D". But on the road.....he loves the GTR. (he has owned almost ever GT3 RS as well).
BTW - the GTR was a second a lap slower than my fully race prepared 1985 Porsche 944 Challenge Race car!!! But it was a very tight twisty track...and i know the track like the back of my hand! ;-)

Interesting to see
At the end of the first run you can see when the aerodynamic disadvantage of the GTR kicks in (turbo gaining ground).
I think you have it the other way around.
drag coefficient
0.27 Nissan GT-R
0.31 Porsche 997 Turbo
In fact the GTR has a better drag coefficient than a Toyota Prius
0.29 Toyota Prius

The aerodynamic qualities are driven by drag coefficient and size of the front area. Thus, the relevant benchmark is CwxA - not just the drag coefficient
