don't they do that to lower the insurance premium associated with the car, say it is slower than it actually is, mercedes is usually a full second off of their advertised 0-60 times

0-60 is not a good metric. It is what you can put down without spinning hte tires or wheel hopping. 0-100mph-0 is a much better metric of how fast a car actually is. As for the GTR, once again I say... Sandbagging just like they have done before!

Saw that, this thing will be insane. Agree with San, Nissan loves to "mislead" about the Skyline power numbers. They use to do similar things with the Z32TT's.
