Last week Porsche and Nissan have been bickering over the Nissan’s GT-R Nurburgring lap times. Porsche actually purchased a US spec Nissan GT-R to run around the famed German track. 
When the dust had settled Porsche run the Nissan around the track with time of 25 seconds slower than Nissan was able to run their own car. This caused the folks at Porsche to speculate that Nissan brought in a “ringer”. (pun intended) Perhaps a car set up for track duty, with tweaked suspension and sticky track tires.
Now Nissan has responded by standing by their claims that thier car was production spec and ran on actual street tires.
The crux of the matter is the 25 second difference in the lap times for the Nissan. Those 25 seconds represent the difference in which car is faster the 911 or the GT-R. Either way Nissan wins, they have a car that legitimately competes with one of the great sports cars of all time.
