Porsche claims Nissan cheated at The Ring

I say total bs, the gtr ran 3 seconds quicker than f430,muceilago/slr mclarren/z06 around topgears track with 1:19 (short lap time) 3 seconds is huge. |
Also I heard chevy came out and admitted ZR1 around ring was on slicks
|
Porsh engineer drove it.
|
they are not saying that the car did not run the time, Porsche is asking how they were 25 seconds off the pace with a production GT-R if Nissan ran their time with the same car.
|
its the us spec vs euro spec
|
they pulled off into a little town, grabbed a brat, and entered the ring almost near the end i think is what happened.
|
I don't know, I think it's plausible. Why would Porsche put their reputation on the line like that. I'm sure the test was observed by someone outside of Porsche. Just seems a little foolish to make false accusations. Physics is a pretty solid argument in this case. Perhaps the Topgear test car was tweaked? Did they run any diagnostic tests on it before testing? Too many variables to figure.
|
I read an article somewhere that of four different GTRs tested three different HP readings were produced. I wouldn't doubt if the pre-productions were pumped up.
