It's a tuned car - just tuned right at the factory. No surprise it's fast like other tuned cars.
What's more interesting is that the 'vette with its huge 640hp engine for <1500kg of weight, i.e. 425 hp/tonne, did only a bit better than the GTR with measly 275 hp/tonne, and worse than the tuned GTR (V-Spec) with 345 hp/tonne.
And engine power is just a question of tuning, you can have as much as you want; even the small engines of the old Skylines have been tuned to over 1000hp.
They're both slowpokes, though. It's a comparison between Slowbro and Slowking.
Radical SR8, Ariel Atom - now these are cars which do have some speed.
