@ Naggs:
Quit bitching and exaggerating already. If you can't figure out that a good power to rate ratio alone doesn't necessarily make a car faster than a lower powered competitor, you should be commenting on something other than cars. What about power delivery, lateral acceleration and traction, Einstein?
Also, about your 10 hot lap/2000 mile theory: Inside Line put over over 2000 miles on their loaner GT-R. That included trips to the racetrack, drag strip, dry lake bed plus regular commuting miles and high speed runs. By their own admission (and seen in the various videos) the used the launch control 14 times and even managed a bit of tail out action on the road course. (Not to mention donuts and drifting on a dry lakebed) Not once did they report excessive tire wear, and at a glance there seems to be plenty of tread left on their tires.
But of course, Nissan must've paid them to write good things about the GT-R...
