Flywheel.

The GT-R numbers are fishy, and the power/weight ratio doesn't support them. However, there have been multiple bone stock Z06s in the 10s, with very, very good drivers. The Z06 is difficult to launch properly, which is why the magazine times are much higher than they are with very experienced drivers.
