Horses (beating)

Guys, not trying to beat a dead horse but I found this thread very interesting. After digging around a lot tonight online to try to get answers I only find arguments continuing. Some claim the Nissan Chief Engineer said the car was on certain tires, refuting statements claim the opposite. Heck ther is even debates about the actual quotes, which sites have the quotes and is which cases it is only forums/blogs. There is still some debate about the length of the particular run (maybe that one is actually settled...). For sure the car is still a pre-production vehicle. There are also stories about past Nissan Skyline N'ring lap time exaggeration ... and yet again stories refuting such claims about the Skylines. Ugh. Not sure this will be "answered" until magazines get production cars. Still then maybe it won't be answered because Horst surely is not as fast and talented as the head Nissan test driver.
