A normal Corvette C6 would probably hand the production Vspec its @ss...........the Nissan supplied ringers would be different.

July 2008 BMW Roundel magazine (page 30) reported that the Nissan GT-R that posted the 7:29 lap time at the Ring was a 693 HP version of the car. I don't think Nissan is making that engine package available to the general public.

The 480 hp Nissan GT-R posted a best lap time at the Ring of 7:35, still 7 seconds faster than a Porsche 996GT2, but well off the 7:29 posted by the Nissan GT-R Ring "ringer."

Now Chevy steps up to the plate with the ZR1 and turns a 7:26! The car was driven by a GM engineer no less. Do you think they could knock a second or two off the lap time if Johnny O'Connell or Jan Magnussen were at the wheel?

Everyone is all caught up in the 'ring.' Most people are going to be straight line racing their GT-R and if they are foolish enough to take on a z they will pay dearly. Now a track is a different story, but I will maintain that the production GT-R will not be the beast everyone thinks it is. That said I would love to have one and probably will when the ADM's are gone.

Do you have a scan?

I'm not sure what is going on with all these times that are being posted, but when I was riding/driving in the GTR it didn't seem as fast as my Z06. Maybe it was just an illusion because it is definitely a fast car!
