Likewise, the GT-R is a second slower to 120mph than the Porsche and 2 slower than the Z06 (but if it makes more power at the wheels, has better aero, faster shifts, and better traction, should it not be faster everywhere in a straight line as well?)

No, the way I've always understood it, AWD eats your top end alive. AWD is awesome on launches, etc. I've had many AWD cars jump out on me only to pass them right back up once we were over 70-80 MPH....I think AWD drivetrain loss is pretty high, much higher than RWD. (*Note* I'm not talking about racing anyone with my Max or G, this was back in the day with my TA or Z28)
That said, I'd take any of the 3 cars listed above. I'm a big GTR fan.
