the car already is fast. but cutting out some weight and shortening up the wheelbase will make it even faster and handle better.

more like with a driver who knows how to drive, with a good driver like i mean GOOD you can pprobably get into the 13's. but w/e in a jap test it came in second on the road coarse against a bunch of honduhs though. an integra (RSX) type s or was it r. a civic type-r, and an NSX. then it came in 3 against 3 porsches an NSX and something else. the NSX won again GT2 came in second.

Hmmm,

Not really. Simply shortening the wheelbase could in fact lower the handling limits of the car. Check the skid pad numbers for a 350Z VS. G35 Coupe and you'll find thet the G car's LONGER wheel base gives it a handling advantage...

Rod.
same goes for the z32 2+2. the longer wheelbase actually improves handling.

High 13s/ low 14s stock. As far as requiring a good driver, you can say that about ANY car....
