Way too much to lose if they're lying. It's the entire corporate reputation on the line.
It always comes back to the same key question... Since the cars doing these laps are undoubtedly a long way from matching the factory claimed power specification what is "stock" exactly? Does it simply mean that all cars rolling off the line have the same output? I guess the absurdity of the "stock" claim becomes obvious when factory quoted specs are meaningless.

I guess Ghosn's and Nissan's entire corporate reputation are just about as good as the truth value of 530 = 480...
