GT2-R should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

In the formula used for calculating the drag you can find v². Because of this factor, the drag will increase strongly when the speed increases. Therefor I think the difference in top speed is not very big. But it seems to me that the R10 should have a better top speed because of it's smaller frontal area.
