997 TT beats GT-R at Ring. Nissan accused of cheating.

Congrats! I like it's looks. Geez, chrisn, I've always heard that the one who dies with the most toys wins. I believe you have most, if not all of us beat!

Most of the "it's faster than GT2" claims are based on times from diff drivers on diff days. Most head-to-head (same driver / same track / same day) are versus the Turbo, and GT-R always wins. Those are the tests that I trust (in aggregate, averaging out for all the one-off weirdness that HC likes to talk about).
In VERY skilled hands, around most tracks, I think the GT2 should be faster than GT-R.
I suspect, however, that if you randomly selected 100 Porsche owners from 6SPeed and gave them a day in the GT2 on track and a day in the GT-R on track, that 90% would be faster in the GT-R--- plus you'd probably end up with a few wrecked GT2s.

Both cars were driven by the same driver, on the same day and the track was dry.

You made up half of that paragraph. The guy was a rally driver, the test was in Australia, not willow springs, on a dusty track, and the guy did not have extensive experience in a GT2.
Could you be any more desperate?
The fact is that the GT2 is substantially faster, period, point blank. And no matter how many random tests pop up with biased media (which we know is huge in Australia for the GT-R, though they try to act differently), beating a GT2, everyone knows the true story.

Nissan won't be releasing any Spec V N-ring times, and now the disillusionment from even the most ardent GTR proponents is starting to reveal itself:
in any case, im saddened by nissans attempt to fool buyers by using just nurinburgring times. other track times are improved as shown, but only marginal for such a huge leap in price. who needs those carbon ceramics if the spec-v is going to overheat anyways... see the point.

Okay, so i made a mistake - it was tested in Australia by a rally driver. But the fact remains that he is a professional driver and he had experience in the GT2 before. And the fact still remains that the GTR beat the GT2 by more than 2 secs on the same track, same day, same driver. What makes the caning more remarkable was the fact that the GT2 was a prep car provided by Porsche, and the GTR was a privately owned import. Must've been a ringer eh?
Oh by the way, wheels magazine in Australia has always had a soft spot for Porsches. Porsches have been winning their 'performance car of the year' tests nearly every single year. So don't go around saying that the Australian magazines are biased towards the GTR.

Can you leave your computer seat for a moment, take a breath and get a GTR before you post again?

So first it's the American media that is biased towards the GTR, then it's the UK media, and now it's the Australian media? What's next - the whole world?

The UK -> Evo, Autocar and Car magazine for reasons I've stated
Japan -> Best Motoring for reasons we all know
US-> C&D lying on trap speeds and inserting Tony swan at the lightning lap, R&T with Steve Millens garbage
You can pick your isolated rally test from Australia, but the fact is, in unbiased testing the GT-R has been getting romped. It's not on the same level, PERIOD. So hang your hat on that remote island test while everyone is watching Nissan get bashed for getting raped at the ring while also caught in another lie.
and oh yeah, go buy one before you talk, "I've driven one around the block" doesnt qualify you to talk.

I bet the PS2/3 version drifts the GTR and GT3 around the track like a ****...

Monarocountry, you conveniently left out the REAL reason that the GTR DNF was the fact that it had blown one of it's Bridgestone tires and could not find a replacement. Because the rules prevented them from running different tires, the team had to retire the car.
All this biggering is getting nowhere. I provide legite anti-bias info, whereas the rest of you anti-GTR guys change, manipulate, exaggerate and create disparaging info on the GTR. Who ever said that 'cheaters never win' are absolutely wrong in this case.
At the end of the day, i can guarantee that any of you will be faster on the track in a GTR than in a turbo or GT2. And that is what counts.
