well it looks like the GTR is a hack after all, what say you fan boi's

 

The GTR really is a great car, unfortunately Nissan hyped it to the stars and now it can't meet expectations.

 

+1 to that,

"7:54 puts it behind the C6 Z06, Ford GT, and only 4 seconds faster than a Base C6 Z51"

 

L That's great!!! Porsche calling Nissan out! Love it!

 

I always thought that time was fishy but no matter. The Viper ACR handled even Nissans self proclaimed glory lap! Now that I got that out of my system. The GT-R is an awesome car.

 

It wasn't a secret that the GT-R Nissan used had aftermarket tires, but wow 25 seconds is a LIFETIME! It doesn't surprise me in the least, tires make up such a huge difference on a road course. It's good to hear someone finally had the ***** to call Nissan out... although I doubt that the racer was very objective, he may have been pedalling to make the GT-R look slower since he was a Porsche employee... haha

Interesting to read, curious as to if Nissan will respond now. Good find.

 

LOL, well that just sucks.

I'm sure the auto magazines will just love that.

 

how sticky of a tire did they use? I've only seen a difference between street tires and running something like Hoosiers, or another race oriented tire, otherwise, just changing brand's hasn't shown much of a difference for me
