The normal GTR has worse power to weight ratio than all the cars it beat around the ring as well. It's a cornering car.
Once it got off shaved race tires it didnt.

*Someone posts more numbers/articles/reviews/tests of the GTR*

"OMG NO WAI CONSPIRACY. PHYSICS, PHYSICS, PHYSICS! STICKY TIRES. ALL CAR PERFORMANCE IS ON A LINEAR PROGRESSION WITH ALL OTHER CARS AND PLATFORMS BASED ON POWER/WEIGHT RATIO."

Reasoning. If you can't get past that, I don't know what to say. These lap times weren't verified or replicated by independent testers. Besides, we've been correct so far, as the GT-R makes whole lot more power than claimed.

The GT-R cannot bend the rules of physics. It's not a miracle car that somehow gets an exemption from common sense. But as we can clearly see, Nissan can lie about the car to make it look better.




Until Nissan officially makes the claim about the GT-R V-Spec lap times, I say hold your breath. Although, I can't trust Nissan anymore, and they just might use this particular lap time they just found on the web.
