I raced a VR6 in Palmdale once (LACR) and it was close but I took him by about 1/2 a car. Not sure if it was his driving, or what but in comparison my car was quicker that day w/a CAI and Catback exhaust. I love my GSR though, It's got over 85k miles and I still look forward to driving it everyday. Like it is something new to me.
