Great find and I see it's already been cross posted to rennteam.

Car companies doctor cars for ring times -- true, including Porsche. But if you exaggerate to the point of incomprehensibility, you will force people to expose it.

For those not familiar with ring times: Nissan GT-R is a very good car and very well engineered, but to claim a near 4000 lbs (!!) behemoth, made with "great, for the price" in mind (dealy qualification), to make 7:29 in stock form is to show how desperate one is.

Remember this is a good car company, my favorite of the Japanese corps, but it's being squeezed from every direction (by Toyata/Lexus, Honda/Acura, & BMW) in its major market, the US. Re-writing the law of physics (7:29 with stock 4000 lbs GT-R) is not something it is capable of.
