Porsche accuses Nissan GT-R of cheating the 'Ring

[fasthonda]

hey steve?   wait til you drive that GTR in the rain on the track!!!!  (did i ever take you for a ride in my EVO when it was raining?)   it is awe inspiring to drive one of the japanese AWD cars that is properly set up in the rain....  

it took me a little bit to get the hang of 'believing' in the car;  i always had used/worn out tires on the EVO (i had a supply of $20 used Yokos that i ran on it from practically day one;  i bought them at 4/32nds, and used them as my everyday tires).   and even in heavy rain conditions, as long as you 'believed' in the car, and let it run where it wanted and sort of 'sort itself out' through the corners, it was AWESOME!

it would take a full race car, on full Hoosier Wets, with a good driver (hi Bob T!) to keep up with me on track in the rain in the EVO, even with my lousy tires on.   if i'd ever put good tires on it, it would have been faster than god!   LOL!

you've gotta take out the GTR when it rains;  it'll feel like everyone else is on a cooldown lap!!!!
