Well worth a read, the article tries to resolve the ongoing dispute about which car is actually faster around the 'Ring.

Nice article

But was the GT2 that Nissan trying to compare with in the Ring? I thought it was 911 Turbo

I believe the article pitted the GT-R against the GT-2 because Nissan claimed the GT-R was faster than even the GT-2 even though the Turbo was the developement target.
