It's obvious you are a newbie to the 911TT v GT-R discussions that have been flying around the internet for quite awhile now, so until you have something new or enlightening to add, engaging in this discussion with you is like hitting my head with a hammer.

the facts remain the same...
500 lbs lighter
16% more torque over a 50% wider band
same HP
lower drivetrain loss
it can't be much faster on street tires in the wet...no way...
especially since the 997TT had semislicks, dry road and one of the best drivers in the world...who actually helped develop the car, and the 7:49 time is his BEST out of 1000's of laps...no way...
you must be a 'newbie' to basic automobile dynamics/engineering
there is no magic bullet...one gearboxes loss is the same as the next...
gears have been developed for the last 100 years...no breakthroughs...
Porsche is not new to this game...just because nissan picked the 997TT as their target, does not mean they will acheive it...
instead of trying to demean me, perhaps you should try to refute the facts:
the link is from edmunds...
7.38* -- 161.628 km/h -- Nissan R34 GT-R, *company test driver Suzuki,
slick cut tyres, track partially wet

note they edited it to remove the 'cut slick' reference...edmunds was not their...pistonheads was
