I never said that Nissan said this. This was just the underlying theme of most of the pro Nissan posts regarding the 7:38 time, both here and on other forums. Folks were attributing the time to Nissan's wonderful chassis, its super-advanced AWD and traction control system, suspension, etc. When in fact most of these things are not the real issues contributing to the time.
Even if "the talk" is your second statement and you consider an M3 speced to match the GT-R at base configuration the GT-R will very likely still more expensive by quite a few grand.
The car is clearly innovative and very fast, it also represents a fantastic performance per dollar. I just think it is a bit over-hyped.
