Nissan and GM have both released press statements and videos bragging about their amazing lap times around the northern loop of the Nurburgring. Much debate and speculation has exploded into the authenticity of each vehicles “ring runs” between Nissan’s GT-R (Godzilla Awakes on Steroids) and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (King of the Road).

It is now rumored that it will be 3.8-litres in capacity and not part of the conventional VQ family of engines (350Z, V-series Skylines, Murano) as thought until recently.
