I think the porsche fanboi's are still throwing out conspiracy theories about that one.

(I hope you were joking, hard to tell sometimes on the interweb).

No, back when the GTR and ZR1 teams were going back and forth on lap times it was revealed that the GTR boys were running full on slicks.

You do realize that the driver of the 7:26 ring time, Suzuki, had the OEM Dunlops used on that run hanging on a wall in his perforance shop that he opened up just recently right?

All the times for the GTR are very well documented (including video) showing the GTR wasn not "a ringer" that they used and Suzuki is Nissan's offical GTR test driver.

this was nothing but sour grapes from the sore losers at porsche. no evidence was ever provided that nissan cheated in that test. and even if they did cheat, what is to say that the saints at chevrolet, porche, dodge, mercedes, and other companies do not also cheat during their own manufacturer-run record attempts? also i remember the engineer who set he ring recort in the cts-v saying that engineers are faster than race car drivers on the ring because tehy spend hunderds of hours over several weeks and months studying the track and the car and optimizing everything about their lap as opposed to professional drivers who hardly ever drive on the ring. besides, the gtr has proven its potency on several other tracks other than nurburgring. see List of Top Gear test track Power Lap Times - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Even in the top gear track, the gtr is surrounded by such prestigious company as porche 997 gt2, carrera gt, ferrari 430 scuderia, 458 italia, 599 gtb, slr mclaren, koenigsegg ccx, lambo murcielago, gallardo. whether 80k or 100k, the gtr will still remain the bargain supercar
