LOL @ Porsche execs sitting around a table brainstorming.....

"This thing has the same power as the turbo but is 20 kilos heavier, how the hell is it faster?"

I personally agree with Porsche. After all the times I've seen posted I can't figure out how the heavier more street-comfy GTR can keep up with the likes of a Viper ACR and Corvette ZR-1. AWD does NOT afford you a major advantage on a track as fast and wide as The 'Ring.

the real question is, wtf is with the picture of Romo in your sig?

Come on man, its okay to like the team, but you have to admit, that is pretty gay.

btw i read the article, and I'm happy someone decided to test the car on their own.

Porsche has just run its own back-to-back tests with the Japanese company's GT-R supercar and says it could not get within 25 seconds of Nissan's claimed record time of seven minutes 29 seconds in April.

<--- thinks Nissan bumped up the power of the GT-R, and used better tires when they set the record.
