From a standing start

GT-R>BRZ/FR-S

rolling start is where a 400HP Twin has an advantage

its a AWD vs 2WD thing (when dealing with huge power)

The twins engine bay is not even big enough for all of that stuff anyway. Especially to utilize the factory intakes from the GTR. It's already a tight fit on the GTR stuffing that engine in that car and that car is much wider and longer.

Sorry man, a friend of mine is pushing 475, and eats GT-R's on the street.

Yep - the GT-R engine is pretty big. If you want to make a ton of power with an engine swap in this car, an LS swap is probably a better idea.

2JZ or GTFO lol

Nah - the LS is smaller, lighter, and can make more power. It sounds better too.

There is a local guy only making 425 that beats stock GTRs by 2-3 cars.

On a roll of course

Gtr's are deadly af when they do the full bolt on e85 upgrade! From there on up they just get more violent. I do agree 420-500whp in the twins would be nasty that's what I want with mine :D debating on just the simple turbo kit/e85 or going Jz. Btw that gtr motor in the twins would def be a unique swap!

Interesting
STOCK 2010 GTR vs 470WHP FRS

I think the frs would have pulled more if the shifts were more solid, same frs that ran a gutted 435whp evo 8 on e85. If the shifts were better the evo would have been a gonner.

Some. As pointed out above, and correctly, the GT-R is designed for laptimes, not fun.

Everything on the car is focused to go faster.

The twins were designed for fun shifting, fun dynamics, and good driver feedback and control.

Just a different design focus.

Shawn

P.S. However, for everyone who says the GT-R is no fun at all haven't driven one, especially on a curvy track with VDC off

I had the motor out of my BRZ the other day and we had a VR38 about to go in another car. I can assure you this is no photoshop, it certainly is feasible if someone wants to pony up the dough to do it.
