Krauts and Japs at it again!

Porsche needs to step up to the challenge. The Nissan did beat the total lap time but it was using R-compound tires. That doesn't matter because GM brought the new ZR-1 to the "ring" with stock Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP tires and set a new lap record of 7:26.4. That was on 06/27/08.

And a 2008 dodge viper acr with 600 hp on ps2s has set the record for fastest production car on production tires shortly after at 7:22

I don't think that stereotype is necessay in this day and age. It was funny on Archie Bunker's "All in the Family", but not so funny nowadays.

As for the Nissan..."cheater".

No...it's still funny.

I tend to believe Porsche on this one. Nissan probably used non-stock racing tires.

Think thru the scenario a little. If Porsche's accusation wasn't based in fact, then all Nissan would have to do is show up tomorrow at the ring and replicate the test, bringing a flock of magazine reporters. Nissan would then prove their product on a huge stage. That would totally backfire on Porsche.

Surely Porsche thought this through...right? I guess we'll see.
