You're correct. The GTR is a more forgiving car. And offers some very sticky tires as no cost options as opposed to the runflats that everyone complains about on the Z06. You put some stickier tires on the Z06 (it wouldn't be stock then) and it'd no doubt suck a few seconds off the time of it's Nurburgring time. So if that were the case, and it knocked off 5 or 6 seconds, with the Nissan being a much more forgiving car, as you said, would it still be as incredible? If with it's higher technology and being easier to drive fast it still beat the Z06's faster time would it still be hard to believe?
I'm not saying I think the GTR was completely stock, but the more points you bring up, the stronger the GTRs case sounds. Although Porsche having such a difficult time replicating it is likely a nail in the coffin.
