You're changing the subject. No-one said the GTR can't hold its own on shorter or medium length courses. The subject is clearly the ultra-demanding Nurburgring and Nissan's fantastic claimed sub 7:30 times.

You have the new CAR magazine where CAR specifically set out to end the dispute of who is faster around the ring. Why not post their conclusion, without any spin?
Msybe you sre more happy with their result because it plats to your argument but I think it's very unfair to Nissan and the GTR to say that Andy's time in the GTR is a true reflection of what he could achieve in the car given more time to become familiar with the car like what he is with the Porsche.
