Lol @ thread, Nissan Bias towards claim on all Nissan/Skyline forums and Porsche Bias towards claim on all Porsche forums.
Nissan spent a lot of time with the one car and the one driver, he knew the road and knew the R35 inside and out. Of course someone with a lot of hours in the R35 will do a better time. Possibly if the Porsche driver spent just as long in the R35 things might have been different.
Maybe Porsche did make this up in aid of trying to reel back their customer base that just buy Porsche for the “badge” and will jump ship for the newest “toy” on the market.
Maybe Nissan’s time was made up in aid of capturing the customer base who just buy the newest and greatest..
Who knows?
It’s easy to pick out the people who clearly haven’t driven a 911/993/996/997 in this thread… Maybe you should experience the entire package of what a 911 can offer, just like the entire package a GTR offers.
You all seem to take Clarkson’s views on Porsche as gospel.
