I hope the top speed was on Honda's priority list on the HSV-010.
It was visibly lacking in this department in it's first season. I think it was down as much as 8kph on the fastest car - the SC430, I think.
Japanese Samurai posted a comparison last year between the 3 cars, it's on the 2010 thread. I'm too lazy right now to check it out.
It will be interesting to compare the HSV to the others this year. I hope JS post it here as soon as he finds some data since we can't count on the official SGT site for any meaningful information

So lacking in top speed, but maybe better through the twisty bits?

We'll see this year (as Honda changed the car). 
But obviouslly, in racing you allways try to improve on any weak points your car may have, am I right?

AUTOSPORT report about 2011 model HSV-010
The apertural area of engine air intake became sideways wide. This purpose is to avoid the influence of the exhaust of forward car.
The air duct for the side radiator is set up on a front suspension arm.

Honda says aerodynamic disadvantage was already recovered during last season. But side mounted radiator changes an internal air flow. So additional development is required.

No offense, but Melvin Choo is the snail of Super GT. That Mosler looks slow.

What is the typical power output of a GT300?
Teams officially say 300bhp but given laptimes are similar to GT2/3 cars boasting 450-500bhp, and aero improvements can only account for so much, they must be nearer 400bhp.

I think it's because of the weight advantage and superior aerodynamics? I think GT300 run around 1100kg, compared to the weights of GT2 cars that's a good difference.

The engine power of JAF-GT300 vehicle is about 300bhp. But the restrictor size of FIA-GT2/3 vehicles is enlarged than JAF-GT300. Therefore, the engine power of FIA-GT2/3 vehicle reaches 400bhp. It is because remodeling is widely admitted (Inboard suspension, Change of engine position etc) in JAF-GT300, the cornering speed of the vehicle is very fast. So, to make lap time equal, bigger engine power is admitted for the FIA-GT2/3 vehicle. Therefore, Fuji is an advantageous circuit for the FIA-GT2/3 vehicle because of its long straight.
2010 Air Restrictor size table
(350Z(This car doesn't have the inboard suspension.), JAF-GT300)
1,100kg=23.8mm
1,150kg=24.3mm
1,200kg=24.8mm
(F430 & 997GT3RSR, FIA-GT2)
1,100kg=26.0mm
1,150kg=26.5mm
1,200kg=27.0mm
(Vantage GT2, FIA-GT2)
1,100kg=26.3mm
1,150kg=26.8mm
1,200kg=27.4mm

I don't know in detail too much about the mechanic.
However, Kouichi Ogawara (NISMO) was an engineer of Super Aguri F1.
