From what I read about this car was it pumps in air and also vacuums out air, is this right?

I'm not too sure. All I know about the car is what was in the above press release. Sounds like some serious brake cooling if that's right. I've never heard of that before.

what are the black dots on the front bumper cover? They reveal the way its fastened to the car on the outside?

The three near the side marker lights are probably quarter turn fasteners for the bumper, the ones in the circle pattern remove the cover for the enduro/night high beams.

Should be interesting but unfortunately the car is a little underpowered for GT1 if it is hoping to keep up with the Corvettes. The Corvette has the same power but is 200 pounds lighter.

We shall see...don't be surprised if the numbers are a bit conservative........

but the GT-R has that magic fairy dust that overwhelms power-to-weight ratio. It's been confounding journalists since the original Car & Driver article a few years back. We won't even mention the Nissan/Porsche feud over 'Ring lap times. OK, we mentioned it.
