Nissan Offers Tires & Another Video Against 'Ring Time Accusations

why dont they just have a race on the ring.

suck this Porsche! Godzilla is back!

Nissan should tell Porsche to "piss off!" to think they have to prove that the GTR is superior is a shame. Porsche face it, theres a new king on the ring! hahahahahha!

Sounds like a job for Stiggy.

I don't know why Porsche is such a cry baby... when it is evident that the GTR can outperform any of its cars, and it is not only proven in the ring but also by several car reviewers that states the GTR as a superior car, more comfortable, faster and superior handling..

uhh uhh, and the ZR1 was runnin race fuel...um...and, uhh the Viper was loaded for NOS...this is gettin rediculous...just shut up and let your car do the talking...the people demand a clash of the titans...throw down time.

Yeah, try to make that time on the ring and you got problems with the transmission for about 20K, and the Porsche will do lap over lap without problem(eventually take some gas!) that's why a Porsche cost 2x as much, but u can use it's power alltime anyday, not like the GTR that if u use the LC too much it's gonna break and to repair it you pay 1/3 of the car, Godzilla is back, hahahaha http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/13/carsumer-advocacy-nissan-refuses-to-replace-gt-r-owners-busted/ here's the prove

.. I really don't see how they expect to counter Porsche's claims that they used normal tyres on the runs with this video.. I'd like to see them actually tape the moment when they mount the tyres on the car that is then taken out for a lap. you know, like Audi did when they did that spot for the Quattro system at the ski jump ramp. that would be something ! now, I am quite a Porsche fan and I do think and accept that the GT-R is (or could be) faster than the 911 Turbo - and I also think that Porsche's attempt to put Nissan's claims in doubt is ..at least "clumsy", but I also think that Nissan are taking this too far with their sarcasm. even if they have a faster car (and if they do, why not accept a shootout ?), they mustn't forget Porsche's history, pedigree and racing heritage - that they are quite far from equalling. and in the end, it's a question of philosophy: Nissan wanted to make a car that was easy to drive and help even a (very) clumsy driver get the most out of it. Porsche's philosophy is to make driving fun and rewarding.. just do a lap of any track in both cars and then see which one makes you feel better about your skills..

Haha, Nissan is rubbing this in Prosche's face. To Porsche: Your weakness is showing. You have fear from the GTR. Stop complaining and make better cars. Your gonna loose sales if you moan like this.

I think the best show down would be between the GTR and GT3-RS...Nevermind the ZR1 and the Viper those are just cars for old men. The GTR and GT3-RS are automobiles for true drives who want to take their cars to the track. ZR1 and Viper can battle all day but I won't give a crap who wins that one....GTR v. GT3-RS SICKKK

Porshe since a lot of years have problems to made a good padle shift gearbox, instead Nissan made an CVT a few years ago after 10 years of work if im not wrong and EVERY car company bought this CVT to study it. I respect porsche but nissan and this engine are so superior...dont forget the most important, JAPAN ENGENIERING

Both of these cars are effing badass. No one can deny that. Porsche nor Nissan will "lose sales" over this. in fact, It's good business for both. Both companies are on top of their game right now... and it can only mean crazier cars to come. Simply put... The battle is on. Like LMS said, this is definitely a job for Stiggy.

Both Porsche and Nissan are great cars, they have there own style and character, but Porsche has to admit that GT-R is a faster car... Any semi slick car driver can tell the difference if the video of the car is using semi slick or not since you can hear the difference in tyre noise, and obviously they are street tyres, as you can hear the roaring of the tyres reaching it's limit, where semi slick sounds different than that... Also there are two tyre choices to choose from which are specially made for the GT-R i.e. RE070R (summer tyre, bit sticker) and 600 DSST CTT (all season tyre)... These are street legal production tyres for the GT-R, they are close to semi slick compound BUT not the same since treadwear on semi slicks are a lot lower then street tyres (also Porsche too uses Michelin Pilot Sport Cup + tyres which are close to semi slick compound)... Nissan can even have a faster time if they switched to the RE070R but used the 600 DSST CTT as a benchmark for the GT-R instead, letting customers know that even all season tyres can produce good lap times...

@M7. U have it all wrong. It was Audi which came up with CVT and they used it first in the car. As I remember they hold 21 patents for it. Nissan was second to use it in Murrano. Audi also developed twin cluch tranny which Nissan uses in GT- R with different name

i kinda got pissed off at the GT-R makers... apparently the warranty says that when the VDC is turned off... the warranty that comes with the car is not applicable haha... like wtf... seriously... if your transmission can't handle the enormous grunt of this car why put it in??? seriously japs... come ON!!!! u had me loving this car to hating this car. and apparently they made the car so that modifiers will have EXTREME trouble modifying it. seriously if its so perfect, why is the transmission so sh*ty??? well now that that's out... please have a RACE on the ring... for real... broadcasted live on TV. LEGIT.

Carcrazy1234 I feel your pain. Just remember one thing this is the best trany out there however they can't handle a lot of torque. I think BMW has one that handles over 400 lb. One thing I can't understand why veyron doesn't have problems with it.

omg omg omg. porsche just keeps getting owned. lol lol lol

im a big porsche fan and admire the gtr at the same time beginning from r32 to r35, however this video shows too little. the car imo revs out quicker than the standard car shown in videos and its very easy to cheat on this track. different tyres, lighter chassis and different fuel and so on. but thats not the case here. the point is i believe porsche in a way because nissan have cheated on the ring before. I know porsche wont stop here and will invite nissan for a track duel and then we will see the real difference.

one set of tires when nissan bring their antorage to germany? how many sets did they bring and those displayed are not that worn for a 1700+kg car doing lord knows how many laps on one of the longest tracks being driven to the max???? i am getting lost

if think they would only do a couple of laps on a set of tyres and then try a different style or hardness.
