By doing that, they asked for Porsche fans to scruitinize the GTR closely to determine if the claims are really true. When it became more and more apparent that Nissan's claim that a stock GTR ran a 7:29 at the ring was a lie, and that the claimed 3.3 0-60 mph time could be obtained only by voiding the warranty, and that transmissions weren't strong enough for the power, you're damn right we Porsche fans are going to yell "FOUL!". When atheletes use steroids to beat opponents at the Olympics, they have their gold medals and world records stripped from them if they are found out. In a sense, we are stripping away the hype and revealing the lie. Damn straight we are going to develop an attitude toward the GTR because of the crap Nissan has pulled!

Even if there was no LC, the GTR is still faster than the turbo around ANY track. What part of that do you think is "FOUL"? Remember that Nissan NEVER advertised the GTR to be faster than the turbo in a straight line, but rather on the track. So far EVERY test has shown that the GTR performs on the track against the turbo as claimed. Now explain to me why you think this is a lie from Nissan and the GTR is not the car it is hyped to be? It was developed to destroy the turbo on the track. It has fulfilled that promise, so much so that no one even bothers to test the GTR against the turbo anymore, because we all know what the result will end up like. What more do you want? Is it because it has beaten the turbo, which costs a lot more, that is making you hate it? That is the underlying truth to all this hate aint it? Admit it.
