Of course, Japan has HP/torque limited to ~275 on all production vehicles, but as you can tell from the tuning scene, there's nothing to stop people from "unlocking" the potential of the turbo charger.

1... 2... wow, that's fast. Faster than Lamborghini and Ferrari, for only $90,000
 
The Ford RS200 could hit 62 in 2.1s with just a turbocharged 1.8L in the early 90s. Without the benefit of modern engine technology.

Problem?
 
You can make any car beat it - you can beat it in just about any AWD vehicle with enough tuning, for example a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX with the 4g63 and $2,000 worth of bolt on parts (EDIT probably more, to be honest), or even a 1989 GSX, but compared to the Ford RS200, the GT-R is a production vehicle (Air conditioning, 4 seats, power windows, etc.) and it's got better 0-60 than a million dollar supercar.

Honestly, there hasn't been too much advance since 1990ish with regards to engines, and most of that is patented anyway (so you can't take all the improvements from different manufacturers to make one engine), but things like the electronic traction control are where the advances have been made, and the GT-R has just that.

EDIT: not to make light of the 4g63 engine, or anything

In the United Kingdom, a special Lancer Evolution, the FQ-400, produces 302.13 kW (405.2 hp), from a 4G63 engine. At 202.6 hp (151.3 kW) per liter, it has the highest specific output per liter of any production engine.

They should give that car a higher roof so the driver can fit his head inside.
