    Its not right for you to subtract things from a car because you say they give the car an advantage. Its retarded, its like saying put all seasons onthe ZCR and it wont run those great ring times.. or take the blower off the Zr1 and see what it runs.. its not fair. Stock v. stock you compare the cars. Those tires come on factory GTR's not aftermarket, you dont handicap factory cars when u test them. There are plenty cars that perform a certain way because of 1 key element.
    A tire is a variable, not a feature. This is my opinion... It wears out, and different ones change the entire dynamics of the car. No one forces you to buy the factory tire when your are shopping for new tires, in 7,000 miles in the GTR's case. Japanese companies are smart, because they have gotten away with bragging rights solely because of the tire compounds they choose to put on some of their cars from the factory. Look at factory Evo 8 tires for example.
    It's unfair to say the GTR is so much faster, when it's getting a handicap from its race tires. Put the same tire on every car and run them, and you'll understand exactly what I think is a FAIR comparison

    How can one say a car has the advantage because of tires that it comes with? That's like saying the viper acr has an advantage because it has more hp and 6 more cylinders...

    The gtr might or might not have good tires, I don't know, but either way that is a stupid arguement. Go to a drag strip, race someone, and tell them that they won because they had better tires and it was unfair....
    You really do just talk out of your ass. Don't ever brag about the GTR's lap times then on the Ring. It's tires alone are giving it about 10 seconds over standard Z rated tires available on the GT3, Z06, Turbo, M3, etc. etc. etc
    I suggest you start getting some experience before you call a completely logical argument stupid. Go read a magazine, or an article online. I'm 100% positive you'll find several articles talking about the big advantage to the GTR is its factory tires.
