Will IS-F beat a GTR?

However, the former part of my post was 100% serious. Making big horsepower and running people on the highway is fairly trivial. We had a 730rwhp 5.0 mustang around here that would easily put many to shame, for decent hp/$. While it was impressive, I've also seen good drivers in a stock 98 Neon outrun Porsches on a course. Claiming to be unbeatable in any car, using only the highway to qualify the claim, doesn't say much.

On the video above, not a stock GTR. Check out his videos, mods are midpipe, downpipe, and HP Logic tune. The ISF is MrSlay: JoeZ intake, removed 2nd. cats and mufflers from the stock exhaust, and 125 shot NOS. Nowhere near the MSRP of a stock GTR, the NOS might be around $1,500, the rest not even $350.
Here is another video, the same GTR against a modded C6Z06, not a slow GTR at all:

I wouldnt compare the two on a road coarse because only the GTR is a dedicated sports car. Its like me comparing the cars on a trip to the grocery store with your kids.... At the end of the day i think its kinda cool that a 4 door lexus grocery getter can beat a dedicated sports car thats considerably more expensive.
On a side note... When i get the car dialed in on the new setup the times will hopefully be close to those of GTRs with similar HP. On boost ill be able to get off the line easier and actually run at full potential at the strip.

A bolt-on isf can beat a stock gt-r from a roll. I love how everyone thinks GTR is faster on the street than it actually is. A stock GTR is nothing special on the highway.

Or buy a stock z06 for 20G less than the GTR and walk it. Or buy a 4G civic and put 25G into it and smoke everything. Or buy a panda, hop him up on coke and let him eat the GTR.
