Its been said over and over that nobody is dennying that "a" Nissan GT-R clocked 7:29 on the ring, what people who have read and compared ring lap times over the years doubt is that that specific GT-R was in full customer-spec form since we all know what specifications a customer-spec GT-R has. But nobody (believers and non-believers) except Nissan know under what conditions was that GT-R that did the 7:29 in.
When HvS tests it we will get a better picture, until then, beliving in factory claims, espècially if they are a little outrageous and forma company that has lied in ring times before) is a little naive IMO.
Dear Carlos,
You are basically saying that you cannot believe the words of GT-R developer that he insisted on using the 'customer spec' car in achieving 7:29, right? If so, the argument is still the same as to whether we should believe the Nissan's claim as opposed to Porsches. Porsche made claims and HvS did not deliver in certain cases. Knocking off Nissan's claim just because it comes from Nissan while believing everything Porsche claims is unfair, I think.
It would be great if you guys would learn a bit about the discussion culture on Rennteam. We never believe in factory claims, neither from Nissan nor from Porsche. A little search on the 997TT/HvS topic would show you that 100% clearly. A valid benchmark figure can never be delivered by the OEM- These figures are fake figures in 50%+ of the time. This applies to Nissan as well as to Porsche.
