Default Porsche accuses Nissan of cheating at the ring...

So GTR = C5Z06 in terms of ring times.

In my opinion the GTR should be marginally quicker than a C5 Z06. But the times the Porsche guys are getting seems a lot more realistic.

I am curious about one detail though. Which of the two tire choices were the Porsche guys running? One is susbtantially better.
