Funny how the gt2 is only 4 sec faster than the TT. A 7,38 is very respectable for a TT, I'm told it was a 6 speed/LSD car as well.

 

The Nurburgring war continues - Nissan is defending the GT-R’s Nurburgring lap time of 7:29 after Porsche said the automaker had exaggerated its claim. Porsche recently took a GT-R along with its new 911 Turbo and GT2 to the Nurburgring and said that there is no way that the Nissan GT-R had lapped the Nurburgring in 7:29 unless special tires were used. “The final word from us is that it was done on absolutely standard tyres which are available to customers in the showroom. They’re not trick tyres – absolutely standard tyres, normal road tyres,” said Nissan Europe’s spokesman Neil Reeve.

Reeve said that the GT-R comes with Bridgestone and Goodyear Dunlop tires and that the Dunlop tires gave a slightly better time around the Nurburgring.
He went on to say: “I’m cheeky enough to say it’s flattering that Porsche

We’re not sure why Porsche isn’t calling out the Corvette ZR1 which claims 7:26 or the Viper SRT10 ACR which claims 7:22.1. have bought themselves a GT-R and flown it to Germany, they want to try it. I guess that’s some kind of stamp of approval.”

 

Well we knew they'd deny it

 

Maybe because they are pretty good at math...

 

I always knew the GT-R's times where fishy how can something much heavier with comparable HP be that much faster than a TT which is a benchmark. in order for both companies to clear the air they should have a public test with both cars. will the king of the ring please stand up
