the "tight" course i'm referencing would be one with a lot of really sharp hairpins and other low-speed turns followed by straights.
If you're talking about a course that tight, I can't think of very many tracks that would meet that description. The problem with low speed turns (i.e. less than 60 ish mph) followed by straights is that any significantly long straight away is going to give the advantage to the Vette. I was thinking maybe some of the roval courses have some tight low speed turns followed by straights but those would probably favor the Vette.
At any rate if the GTR can keep up with its benchmark, the 911 Turbo, they will have done a great job. The 911 Turbo is a worthy benchmark and if they can hit that benchmark for about $30k less that's a pretty good accomplishment.
