I bet porsche is kinda pissed right now... lol

HA

I dont see how Porsche would make such a claim for no reason. Now i like the GTR but i bet that car was a little hopped up for that time, but hell i bet all test cars are a little better than a production car.

Here is a little interesting story. I know for a fact that the car and driver GTR wasnt 100% factory either. That car was a little hopped up too. I know people who drove it.

Yes

Just for an example

Before my phone broke, I had a cell video of the car in launch control mode at 6K instead of the factory 4400.

That is prolly just a simple computer setting though...

I am sure porsche did the same thing with their car. Turned the boost up alil bit, messed with the AFR, and a couple lil simple things to make it go alil bit faster.

A change is a change, the car was beefed up a little. And you just said the same thing i already did. That ANY car used for test purposes to show its numbers is going to be a little better.

Yup and they prolly dyno tested 10-20 cars to see which one worked the best before they brought it out there.

i agree with the testing. according to a production film on youtube showing how the engines were made, each engine is unique and will have different outputs from one another, in result of them being hand made.

nice. i used to like the 997 turbo.
then the GT-R came out.

Its kinda surprising to me that a pure sports car maker`s drivers can`t even get closer than 25secs to Nissan (a company that makes cars for all markets) test drivers` times.:gay:

Next is gonna be Hyundai coming out with some kinda Super Genesis Coupe and Ferrari test drivers not being able to drive as good as Hyundai`s test drivers:lmfao:

I love how Nissan just shitted on Porsche with class, big respect to Nissan for the victory!!

Nissan has revealed that the GT-R used in the official lap time was actually at a disadvantage due to up to 50kg of testing equipment. According to GTRblog (http://www.gtrblog.com/index.php/2008/10/09/nissan-offer-porsche-proof-and-driving-t?blog=4), Nissan has also offered free driver training (http://www.motorauthority.com/nissan-maintains-gt-r-nurburgring-lap-time-was-legitimate.html#) for Porsche if it wants to attempt a second lap.

LMAO they offered a free driver training, hilarious

Porsche couldn't get within 25 seconds of Nissan? In the "same" car? That is A LOT! I feel both sides should head-to-head @ nurburgring with their best "production" car. I am willing to bet Nissan would not take the challenge.
