No way 400hp in a lighter car would make you win...

They are probably about the same. Slightly over 4k lbs.

dumb race!

GTR is lighter at 3830lbs 1000hp
CTSV is 4255 then add passenger 600hp

so around 670lbs lighter and 400 more hp will do that

Your math is wrong and the GT-R had a passenger so its more like a 400lb difference.

Didnt realize the GTR was 1000 hp until after I watched the video. Really stupid, I would think the GTR with light mods would still walk it based on the tranny and 400 lb difference..
