LOL, this is great for GM because they didnt even use a pro racer to get the time, so I think they are keeping a spade in hand for the V-spec GT-R. This will get interesting.

Porsche is getting beat down. They are in a bad posititon right now. They'll have to grin and bear this for 6 years or so or make a return trip in the GT2.


BUT

The GT-R cant back up it's results, so my delusions are starting to come tru (cue 1,000 fanboys). Why did the GT-R go 5 seconds slower second time around at buttonwillow? Why does it now only trap 111, 114,115,116 mph? All the mules were trapping 118-121, now you cant even buy a 118. BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Nissan up to their old games again. And now that the magazine results that they bought have run out, we are starting to see the truth. Even with all the gadgets, the GT-R is still a DSG and a better set of tires just to keep up.

Hate to say it, but I told you so.

The ZR1 is more a competitor to the CGT which is a 7:28 if memory serves me right, and its 5 years old now.

Porsche's #'s are still the benchmark that everyone aims for.
you're kidding right?

Ha, i was thinking a similar thing (can't say exact, i wasn' THAT precise, lol) btw, the ZR1 has carbon ceramic brakes as standard
