   There were four cars in the video (including the camera person’s car). What was the fourth car???

   The GT-R kills everything, dead. If it’s setting faster ring times than the Zondas and just as fast as the ZR1 then comparing it to anything like an M5 or CL65 isn’t fair.

   The car that was out front at first looks like an E92 to me.

   the camera showed the dash and gauges of the M5 right when the video started…

   There is an interesting article about Porsche accusing Nissan of cheating at Nurburgring. Even though, it is could be one sided I will have to believe Porsche’s accusations. Check this article :

   That doesn’t imply that the GT-R is not a nice car to drive (because the design sucks!).

   That makes sense since the GT-R took quite a while to catch up with the M3 in the video. After watching it several more times, I’m convinced that’s an M3. Pay attention to the wheels. Granted the guy’s reaction time was faster in the M3, but the GT-R didn’t exactly walk it down, as the published numbers would indicate.
