I don't think so ... Karl's tune would be more then the only 70 hp reported by the victim. ;)
Got to race against a GTR at Willow Springs last week:

Nope that's not mine.
Sux to be the other guy, however.
My GTR is bone stock (amazing, no? ;) ), and I am actually gonna give it to my dad next week.
My Abarth is arriving !!

this is why a wideband is ESSENTIAL to tuning. or at least a good shakedown on a dyno with a sniffer. ouch.

Did you try the automatic mode ... where it's suppose to down shift intuitively?
It's a lot of weight to throw around ...

actually it handled quite nimble. I was surprised that i effortlessly beat my ST time in it with the OEM winter package tires.
Yes it was in automatic mode. I couldnt even tell when it shifted or downshift... it came into the powerband smoothly and on demand.
