In a straight line or round a track.

Even stock vs stock I recon would be a close call. Few hundred

To play devil's advocate here, most of them self destruct because a twat has tuned them. That goes for Evo's, Scooby's and S2000's too. Any car really.

I have NEVER seen a GTiR on a track though, and I've done a LOT of track days.

they self-destruct because of shite build quality

same reason you don't see 12 year old Seats and Fords about much

but you see loads of Germans and the odd Swede

Have Porsche had a go at the Corvette yet?

Would still take one of those over the GTR.
