The real main question is which one of these cars if any will their transmission last long enough and don't expect any warranties from nissan after the track.

I think the gtr would win any race with turns... On a side note, I went down to the local nissan dealer to take a look at their gtr. They had just sold it to someone who traded in their is-f! Missed it by one day...

Good point did you hear nissan re-tune the trans so you can run the gtr in d-mode and get the same times as launch control

Uh... if you want a track car then of course you would get the GT-R... why would you even bother with an F and turbo it? The F is a luxury sports sedan. The GT-R is purpose-built for the track. End of story.

The F may be a sport sedan but it is ALSO built for track.

GTR does not have the quality of the IS-F, that is all I will say.
