I was just about to point that out, LOL.

BTW...if the normal GT-R can do N'ring in 7:38 I can see the V-Spec do it in the low 30s, I highly doubt it will hit 7:25 but I'll be optimistic and say it will do 7:28.

I think this is more than a fair question. If anything Lexus' spot was taken. Lexus seems to have wanted their sports car to be the one that put a beating on the European establishment...but Nissan beat them too it. If anything they're back to the drawing board/track to make sure that the Nissan along with the usual European suspects are taken down. Going to be a very hard thing to do.

Considering the billions they spent on F1 and went nowhere, it's safe to say that Toyota's strategy has been pretty stupid.

Money Spent != Fast Cars. I think they need to go back to the enthusiast roots rather than spend money.
