You can get on the power earlier but it does lack power and simply can not do a 7:29 lap in production form. It has very low gearing which is great for a slow stop start type of track, too bad the Nurburgring is a long fast track.

All these designed in the Ring is utter BS. BTW manufacturers are supposed to run a stock production version and not some boosted up ringer.

there's no proof that they cheated, so it did run 7:29 like it or not, but only professional F1 driver could do that ( Suzuki guy) but its still pretty amazing. every 4wd system is understeery from factory so its safer that way for average joe.

This can go forever, I do believe it went 7:29 but only very few people can duplicate it.

its still an amazing piece of machinery for the money.

Oh and how is it not suited for Nurburgring if they developed GT-R ON IT?
