The video proves that the GTR can do a 7.26 lap. But there is no proof that the car is customer spec.

Maybe the boost was increased? To find out look at the RPM needle during high speed acceleration. Time  how long it takes between two RPM values then compare with a customer car in the same gear(s). If the times are close the boost is standard.

The car in the video does not look like it has super fast acceleration on the long straight and my guess is the boost was standard. So where were the mods that the motoring press failed to notice?

The Spec V with all of its expensive improvements is not much faster than the GTR, which again points to a standard car (with V-spec wheels) for the 7.26 lap. But some proof would be welcome. If Suzuki's kamakaze driving style does not suffice as proof that he is 12 seconds faster than a magazine tester from Stuttgart with no incentive to drive at the ragged edge of the cars ultimate potential..
