Storytime.
A buddy of mine works as a Corrections Officer for a local prison. One of the inmates in his block had a rubber ball, and my friend was told to take it from him as he wasn't allowed to have it in his cell. My friend politely asked him to hand over the ball, and the inmate refused, saying something to the effect of "come in here and try to take it". In response, my friend took out his pepper spray, started shaking the can, and said "My job is not to 'see if I can take it'. My job is to take it". He got the ball.
The GT-R (in particular the Nismo) isn't built to be a driver-focused car. It's not built to excite the driver or create some monster that has to be wrestled to the ground. The GT-R isn't built to "see if it can win races". It's built to win them. For the kind of driving it's built to do, it doesn't have to care if you or its driver is bored. A trophy is a trophy.
And Randy Pobst is one of the most experienced and thoroughly vetted (pun partially intended) drivers out there, who has over 90 pro wins across multiple racing teams.. What he doesn't know about track driving probably isn't worth knowing, so you can take his word pretty much as gospel truth.
