suck on this all you nissan haters.
yeah who knows may be the time will be beaten, but until then you can get off your arrogant high horses and admit defeat.

General Motors...
When are they gonna claim "the official loser against GT-R by far"?

May i just add to all corvette fans to not boast this early on. The V-spec GTR which has more power and less weight is yet to come out and on top of that the special edition nurburgring GTR which is the ultimate has yet to come out... sooo really it may beat the stock GTR but please wait and see the times of the next GTR before you say anything :) .. and i doo love the current corvettes! they are something!

Of course porsche will be here for a long time to come. But let's face it nobody will build a faster car for the same price as the GT-R. I'm sure porsche will come out with something crazy to replace the Carrera GT. But there might still be hope for the M3 CSL.

I saw a Heidfeld's lap on Nordschleife somewhere recently and it was around 6:50, but he wasn't pushing the car to the limits at all. I have no idea what is the F1's record lap for this track but I guess it maybe something around 6 minutes.

Has anyone taken a Veyron around the ring? if so what time did they get?

yeah, the GT-2 in 2005 is as stock as the GT-R who claims the 7:29 imho. the GT-R isn`t slow, but that whole thing is mainly about raising attention for sales and putting the brand into the spotlight.
A small tuner beat a GT-R with an old 996 platform and a few (street legal) modifications before it was even born, imagine what Porsche could do to a brandnew GT-R with it with their 3 year old 997 platform and a few upgrades? they could, but i don`t think they feel challenged enough, not even worth a discussion. it?s all about raising attention, nobody will talk about the GT-R in 10 years. but people will still dream about a 911 in a hundred.

Remember one thing, see the wheight og the 993, then the wheight of the GT-R, you can't help bu to be impressed that the GT-R, at 1600 KG manage to allmost beat the Pagani Zonda, that is 950 KG with more horses.
and the Porche is at what, 1400 KG?? I am pretty impressed by the GT-R, and not to forget the legend of the Skyline GT-R R32/R33: total of 79 starts and 79 wins is what is Epic Legend, the GT-R

Veyron was about 7:36 or 38. But I think they didn't push Veyron to it's limits

Veyron is too heavy for the NordSchleife.
The next big thing, is if the Nissan GT-R V-Spec R35 can actually do the lap in or around 1.25, now THAT is scary fast.

what i meant is, today i have the biggest pen.., tomorrow someone is born with an even bigger one. does that make me the 2nd best or him the best lover on earth?. not at all. at the end of the day there is more to it than just a time on a racetrack, cause it won`t last for too long.

I did hear valentino rossi was going to try something , with a car or bike , ill have to see how reliable the source is.

This video means absolutely nothing, A GT-R running around the Ring in 7:29 was never in question, the question is whether it was stock or not. And that question can never be answered...we werent there and we never will be or be able to know. So any opinion either way...its nothing more than speculation.

spot on, different drivers, circumstances on the track , set ups, different realties, everything is possible.
i mean the GT-R had to beat the GT-2, otherwise nobody would have paid any real attenton, if u know what i mean.
i didn`t pay much attention on the GT-2 time and i don`t give a shite on the GT-R?s as well.Don`t trust such things.
u could give me the soulless GT-R as a gift, i would sell it immediately and buy a used unique 997 any time.
