All car companies buy the opposition, test them and give them a good thrashing then take them apart and measure stuff.

Worst thing is they are never put back together and are scrapped.......

I just seen a brand new Porsche GT3 go down this route and I must admit I shed a little tear.

there's a cracking write up of the gtr in the 'top gear supercars' mag, summer 2008, special collectors annual.
They drive a gtr and 911 turbo back-to-back, and the gtr wins again. totally.

"Forget all that you know. The gtr hasn't just moved the goal posts, it's obliterated them. Bill Thomas is overwhelmed"

etc etc etc they love it!

They could respond by laughing their arse off.

Perhaps Porsche would like to explain why the GTR comprehensively beats the 997TT and GT3 in multiple tests across 3 different continents.

Yes, and this is the problem here I think - i.e. If they cheated once, they can cheat again.

8 minutes was quite a benchmark for a road car and rumours were abound that the car was not stock. Everyone later seemed to ignore the fact that Best Motoring did an 8'01 in their own stock 33.

Maybe we can clear up if that 33 was stock or not in a few weeks time, ..........

It's fine to accuse Nissan of cheating because Porsche know that the Japanese tend not to be litigious.

If Nissan accused Porsche of cheating, we'd have a court case and a half on our hands... imho

As Nissan now is alot more European then before... it would be funny to see the headline "Porsche to pay Nissan 5 million Euros over slanter comments" or something like that.
