Very impressive indeed, but can it do this 2 laps in a row and will you have full guaranty after lapping a track. I heard there are some issues with a Nissan! (gearbox *cough* overheating with -20°C outside temps) 
Oh well... Numbers are nothing in the end.
I would not trade a Porsche GT3 RS with a Nissan GTR and I would not trade a Ducati Panigale with a Kawasaki ZX10 R.
So to say... I would not trade emotions for a lower price or "better" numbers! =)

So, I'm not a Datsun guy, but that is a helluva number. What is HP to guys that know, and what does this car cost? Limited run? Etc.
A 620 HP GT2RS did 7:24. That's embarrassing.
The new Viper just did a 7:12. More embarrassing.
I would agree on not caring too much for times, as there is a bunch more to owning a car, but the world is looking hard at these numbers.

Another downside of the Nissan is... you need to bring it to a Nissan Performance Center and those are not in every small town, nor are they in every Nissan dealership.
I would have had to drive 200km EVERYTIME to bring it into a performance center for an inspection or Problem.
I wanted to buy a GTR some years ago (insane performance numbers, low price), but bad reputation even in the official nissan forum (defects) and bad dealer network led me into my local Porsche dealership! ->15km from my home =))

Yes, but let's not forget that the 2RS and Viper were both rowing gears, while the GTR is a dual-clutch transmission with virtually zero lag between shifts.
The GTR is a video game on wheels. I would prefer the Viper or GT2RS for track use, because they are just more FUN. People are forgetting what it really means to drive a car around a track: Fun. What car grabs you by the seat of your pants and makes you laugh and giggle nervously? The things that make a good track car are not able to be expressed through simple numbers. Just my .02.
