Any way we can get a proper source on this time? The reference link does not point to the actual time itself, and if it did in the past, Autocar's website has changed to such a way that its now impossible to verify. I've tried searching all around the internet and can't seem to find a trace of this time outside of the entry here on Fastestlaps.

Yes, I love all of the GT-Rs (from R32 to R35). It was one of my favorite cars in Forza and GranTurismo. I can assure that this is, indeed, the stock time for the R34. Even with the actual 330 horsepower, that doesn't change the fact that it still weighs over 1,600 kilograms. After all, it's not in the same league as any post-1999 Ferrari (unless you count the luxury-minded 456 GT, which should absolutely not be compared at all). An F355 at best.
