I don't know how you could define racecar to make the Viper look more tame than the R390, but considering the Viper in question was tuned to over 1100hp, I still think it's pretty hypocritical to complain about using a "racecar" with only 800.

"The American Club Racing (ACR) model was introduced in 1999. This model had suspension and engine enhancements focused on maximizing performance in road racing and autocross environments. "

"Unlike many others, Nissan built the road car first and built the racing version from it."

"Only 2 known R390 road cars were ever built, and one is stored at Nissan's Zama warehouse. The other was sold to a wealthy car enthusiast by auction."
Interesting. I thought there was only one R390. Either way, when tunning a car to those limits (which most people do in GT5), it's hard to argue on those things.
