GS-R doesn't equal Type R. They're two completely different models -- the
Type R is substantially lighter, stiffer and more powerful.

That depends on your objectives. If you're after a National (or even a
Divisional) championship, the GS-R is probably the wrong car -- lack of
torque is a real handicap. On the other hand, if you're planning on running
it locally (wherever "local" is), the handicap is still there (depending on
the other cars you face), but probably matters less. IMO, of course -- I
think the driver makes up for quite a bit in this case.
