For those of who do not like to read, this post says that it was a biased test since he was a Nissan driver in the past. He was very polite and direct about it though, not OMGWTFBBQ BAD TEST. As for another fan base other forums I have read still deny most of the cars abilities, to which I can agree on some. Others are REALLY knit picking at the cars abilities; 0-60, slalom times, rolling from 89.75646774mph- 132.3287mph(exaggerated to get the point across) Attacks were made at Nissan's race cars, GT500 series, saying they share nothing in common, which is true, however what does it have to do with the car itself? I admit the JGTC and DTM series have cars that are far beyond what the manufactures cars represent and the series like ALMS and Rolex Series have more realistic everyday cars, but they are boring and slow in comparison. That and alot of American racing circuits suck; bumpy, ugly, hardly any where to pass. My attention gets turned to NASCAR over this. Getting back to topic, people say it is not "race inspired" through the series. Imho race inspired is Porsche GT-3RS, BMW M3 CSL, F430 Scuderia, GT-R Vspec. These cars, i believe, are focused cars handed down WITH race technologies but people seem to believe these are race cars.
The cars reign on top will not last (Porsche adding 20hp and DSG to the Turbo LOL) and it should not stay there for the sake of the competitions name. Nissan, I believe, has shown a light back to other car companies that their game has fallen off a little, not in terms of performance but in new features and technologies, and the GT-R proves it. For a company like Nissan to shunt them at their own game, wow.

so its just annoying to see him post something like that to them, but i love the answer they gave him back. its like he doesnt care and he doesnt look at the facts. he will get in a GT-R and love it, but still bash it! its just the low life red kneck he is. and btw the guy doesnt look like he owns a 977 either... real dirtbag if you ask me.
