Depends on what kind of track, are we talking drag strip or road course?

The GTR will kill you in the 1/4 mile. I have seen a bone stock GTR run 11.40-11.60 on street tires. I don't think the ZL1 will do any better against a GTR on the road course. According the Car and Driver the GTR is 2-5 seconds faster than the ZL1 around Virginia International Raceway.

The 911 turbo has a big traction advantage with the engine in the rear. On street tires the 911 turbo wins in the 1/4 mile. On the road course, according Car and Drive Lightning Lap times, the ZL1 and 911 turbo are even.

To be honest, all three are great cars. We live in a special era for the auto enthusiast.

Your car has the potential to run that...all comes down to set up and driver ability. GT-R is just point and go....AWD and paddles do the rest.

With the supercharger and the set up you have, I'd think you could run pretty even with most of the mentioned cars in a point and go drag.

Sorry, I thought you were stock. With your mods it should be close especially if you had slicks on at the drag strip. You have a fast car, best driver wins?

the 22's weigh only 8lbs more than the stock wheels total (all 4 wheels 2 pounds each)

The issue is not with weight but with sidewalls, or lack there of.
