All hail the baby Veyron.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 8:02AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/Jun 2nd 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/Jun 3rd 2008 8:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/
Why?

-Flying start

-Does not start and stop timing at the same place

-Test mule car aka non-production spec

-Slick tires

Nissan likes to issue press releases stating their car is production spec but the intelligent enthusiasts can easily see through their lies.

I highly doubt a majority of the people who buy the GT-R or any car for that matter will be able to push the car like that, the car is damn fast along with it's competition.

BTW Isn't every car timed the same way anyway?]]>Jun 1st 2008 5:37PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/"Those are the same street tires available off the showroom floor."]]>Jun 1st 2008 6:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/
I mean, it's obviously unfair, the GT-R is too fast for most other Nuerburgring cars. That's why the laptime is so low. Nissan cheated by building a fast car that can handle. ]]>Jun 1st 2008 6:59PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/Jun 1st 2008 10:30PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/It's clear they rented the entire track. They could park across it and have a picnic on it during their alloted time if they wished.

So the lack of a standing start was by choice.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 3:43AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/

Just very sticky road rubber. Btw bridge to gantry is the standard way of timing.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 4:27AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/

For the "baby bugatti" comment, I've always thought of the GT-R as the cross between an Evo and a Veyron. :)]]>Jun 2nd 2008 10:28AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/01/video-nissan-gt-r-7-29-ring-run/
