Gt-r Sets 'lap Record' At The Nurburgring

Great to see they have backed it up.

But given all the past controversy, why didnt they run the stock wheels?

Nissan has said they will offer the Rays wheels as an option in Europe, so perhaps globally also. Then it's just a stock car with optional wheels.

To compare, the 911's are available with ceramic brakes as an option which they would obviously use in any record setting attempt.

Yep. All the 911's ever given to Sportauto are PCCB'd and Sportcup'd. Knowing how important Nurburgring lap times are, all the Euro manufacturers offer hot options on pretty much every car, though fewer than 5% of sales actually tick them.

The E92 M3 that Sportauto tested was also Sportcup'd and had race pads on the front callipers.

Running a well designed R-compound would return more than 5 seconds on the 'ring.

A great track setup for the GT-R would be a combination of the Nismo wheels and the New 20" R888s that Toyo are working on right now.

When CAR UK, tested the very first GT-R to arrive in Britain (a white GT-R grey import) Porsche supplied a Turbo with PCCB, and the GT-R went 1.1 seconds faster after just one lap. A set of Rays alloy wheels available on V-Spec is hardly a big deal...although haters will use this aganst GT-R.

In case you haven't watched it..the CAR UK video...

What's the go with the 7.26.7 lap time on the weekend? Why is this not mentioned by Nissan press or any other motoring website? Was this not an official Nissan attempt? This time basically puts it in line with the Corvette ZR-1..and this is before we talk about spec V...
