World War Of GT(GT3 and GTR)


The words war between Porsche and Nissan continues with the German power house again claiming bollocks on the GT-R’s recent timing(7:27) at the ‘Ring. Porsche’s new 2010 GT3 is undoubtedly hardcore with naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six churning out an ultra high-revving 435hp and its track-tuned chassis allows it to dance with the world’s most nimble supercars.
The new GT3 has been timed at an unofficial 7:40 with Porsche driving ace Walter Rohrl piloting the car for the sprightly lap. However, GT3 still can't beat the 638hp Corvette ZR1(7:26) but it’s a very impressive time nonetheless considering Rohrl posted a 7:45 in a borrowed ultra-hardcore Ferrari F430 Scuderia.
That still doesn’t come close to Nissan’s famed 7:27 though and the Japanese car-makers are probably not impressed at the GT3’s timing. But ze Germans are still not letting up, telling Motor Trend that the twin-turbo Nissan is only good for a time of 7:56 in stock US form. That’s a lot of difference, 30 seconds slower than reports from Nissan can cause some serious credibility damage.
Well the saga will continue unless it is settled by a neutral figure once and for all. Anyone who agrees with Schumacher being handed the keys to both this cars to time himself at the ‘Ring and to settle this once and for all say aye.
