The trans of the GTR is costing 3 times a Z06 trans. Almost no HP lost in the drivetrain.
Have you ever drove a GTR? Its stiff as hell (2-3 times a 1LE)!!! I cant imagine how stupid stiff is a Nismo GTR. Every time you hit a small pothole in a GTR it feels like your wheel is gonna split in half...
About the Nismo beeing faster in a straight line, it seems the Z gearing sucks or it overheats or aero or whatever. There is a problem happening at high speed and GM needs to fix this. The Nismo was going 10mph + faster in the straight away. Somethings wrong here.

And after they broke down the laps, the GTR was still only faster in a straight line. Mid corner and corner entry went to the Z06. That's where light weight shines. It's only so useful to have great drive off the corner if you have to park at the apex to get the car turned. And AWD cars almost always push the front on corner entry and suffer mid corner because of it.
