240hp at 4500rpm.....wouldn't want to be taking this thing through many tight twisty roads or traffic. It would feel like a sling shot when it comes on though no doubt. The real shocker is 3000rpm, my stock 10 year old commodore makes more than that at 3000rpm, so just cruising around town this GTR at least in my case would be way too laggy.
Sure the final number is great, about 542rwkw, but for anything other than drag racing, more area under the curve is needed.
Area under the curve doesn't impress most people though compared to a big number, so not a lot of people care which is a shame
