Sorry drederick, but I will place greater reliance on the automotive press than I will on a completely unverifiable post made by a completely anonymous poster on a forum dedicated to a competitor vehicle. Call me crazy if you will.
I hate to get in the way of your obsessive agenda here, but let me ask you a question: take a look at some of the video links of comparison tests conducted by various publications here and tell me how you could possibly conclude that Nissan had a "ringer" in all of them? That they somehow repeatedly "cheated" each and every time - and no-one noticed? Even in the test where an owner provides his very own fresh-off-the-boat GT-R, only to have it effortlessly spank the 911 Turbo in one try?
Did you listen to any of the commentary in that video? Like how the tester, after 3 laps in the Porsche says that that's as much as he can get out of the car? And how later, after the rain showers clear, he is driving the GT-R somehwhat tentatively given that a) it is a privately owned vehicle, and b) he is NOW driving on a damp track (the Porsche lapped in the dry), he says he is sure he could get it to go much faster?
I know you would rather we forget all that and simply adopt Porsche press releases and accept what Corvett Forums has to say, but speaking for myself, that's just not going to happen. You are welcome to sit and watch in-car videos from different sources of tests conducted on different days in (likely) different track conditions and draw whatever conclusions make you feel a little bit better about yourself.
Oh, and I'm still waiting on you to explain how it would be a BAD thing, if in fact the GT-R is making MORE power than advertised.
