"Says Nissan, "The final word from us is that it was done on absolutely standard tires which are available to customers in the showroom. They're not trick tires – absolutely standard tires, normal road tires.""

...

"In any case, Nissan's taking the high-road, falling short of suggesting that Porsche's drivers are slow."

 

Props to Nissan

for Porsche

 

Weird, I was always reading that they used an R compound tire for the ring testing. I found a youtube video of them switching tires out but it could be just part of the intro.

I still rather have a Porsche over a GT-R.

 

After having owned a Porsche and learning what a POS it is. I much rather own Godzilla.
