I'm sorry to bring this thread up from the dead, but PORSCHE is now whining about the GT-R's lap time being innaccurate and went as far as to have their own tests with the GT2, Turbo, and GT-R.

Now if Porsche REALLY wasn't concerned with "losing groud", then why go through all this trouble?



Maybe because Porsche couldn't stand this BS of Nissan any longer... They wouldn't be the only ones...




May I suggest this? When you (anybody) says "Porsche is doing [something]." Who at Porsche is doing it?

In this case it could be a few marketing types that are bout to lose their jobs, or trying to get promoted by creating a buzz.

IOW, You never know _why_ Porsche does anything in cases like this because you're not sure who's doing it within the company.

Even if it's "approved" by higher ups, there's still no idea of the motivations. Could be that extremely cute new blonde babe promoted to VP level getting her way.

I dunno.

Underlying point: it's extremely hard to accurately guess motivatons behind actions.
