Really, aside from the truly awesome modern supercar engineering of the gtr, if we're talking sheer performance, it's all about how much money one can and will throw at it. Easy? No. Cheap? No way in hell. But impossible? Tell that to Stielow or Chris at jcg Or the roadster shop guys for that matter or Nelson racing and so on and so forth...
HOWEVER, I'm sure in most cases, even with all the latest 'pro touring tech' out there AND a ton of hp, compared to a gtr or any brand new 100k+ sports/super car, modern stuff is just way easier to control, obviously. Stielow himself admitted that Red Devil was a good bit harder to drive than a new zl1, and his cars have more modern tech thrown at them the almost anyone's now days.
There's more to a car than performance numbers.
