This is about the same as Steve Millen beating the TT and Z06 by 5 seconds at Willow Springs, and then Steve Millen beating the GT2 at other places. But still some reocurring themes in there.

And then there's this.

Sequence of events:
1) Nissan tests for 7-8 months with several drivers,
2) During all that time, the best lap, which is a quite a bit faster than the rest, comes in at 7:38, a week or two before release
coincidentally
3) Best lap in 8 months is said to have taken place on track with partially wet spots on it, and two weeks prior to release.
4) Nissan goes back to testing after release, claims they are "tweaking" the car for different markets
5) Nissan comes out
9 seconds faster.
6) Horst Von Suarma, ring expert and driver for Sport Auto doesnt think even the 7:38 is possible after doing a lap similar to the one he did in the Z06 which he got 7:49 and getting a 7:50.
7) Porsche tests the car, vs TT and GT2 and mash it with both on the euro MPSC which are crap. And it's the US model GT-R which is supposed to have all the "tweaks".
8) Not the first time Nissan have been caught lying and/or cheating.
Ole Heavychevy isnt the only one refusing to drink the Kool-Aid.
I fully expect 10-12 noobs and regular GT-R fanboys to make this a 30 page thread. So have at it.
