Production GTR is winning most car comparisons with Porsche, auto magazines never mention about Le Mans and other races, they aren't finding it important. Since you always quoting car magazines, you shouldn't use racing car competitions when comparing production cars, like car magazines do.

Nissan and racing is an oxymoron.

"they aren't finding it important"

I'm pretty sure there's a motorsport category in almost every car magazine, so this sentence doesn't make any sense.

a heavyweight pig with a twin turbo engine isn't made to be raced, car magazines know that and that's why they don't repeat Nissan's non existent motorsport success in every single review.

Ever seen a Porsche turbo racing? no? strange isn't it? Did you ever hear a car magazin asking why Porsche doesn't bring the 911 turbo to Le Mans?

why aren't there any similarities between Nissan's stock GT-R and their GT1 racer? how many 7:20, sorry, i mean 7:40 laps can the GT-R do before the brakes stop working, 2? maybe 3?

"you shouldn't use racing car competitions when comparing production cars"

why? where's the difference if the cars are stock? too much reality?
