Good for Porsche... That GT-R time was BS and we all knew it. At least with stock tires....

Never though Porche was slow until now . . .
It was likely a set of sticky tires and the 'void your warranty' tune that got the 7:29. The engine is under rated, making about 10% more hp than claimed. And it has fairly short gearing. And a quick transmission. But the numbers never quite added up to a 7:29 ring time

But then, that is the problem with the Ring. You can more or less lie all you want and get away with it. |

Nissan has a history of using non-factory cars and tunes for testing and magazine reviews.

all of that image is a crock, sure its built by hand in a clean room but it is so inconsistan of a manufacturing process that some Rv36deTT (v6 in th gtr) dyno at 440hp and some dyno over 500hp, to be so inconsitant with your engine building is a joke. makes me think its not as well engineered as they want us to believe
