They dont at all have false numbers. Nissan claims 0-60 in 3.5. Motortrend got
3.2. Even Roadandtrack, Edmunds, and Caranddriver with their shity drivers got under 3.5. Also, Nissan recorded and official lap time of 7:38 on the Nurburgring for the GT-R. But a couple of engineers went to do a couple of flying laps for fun and got 7:29. And 480hp is accurate. The GTR has extremely minimal drivetrain loss wheras Motortrend calculated their 507hp using a 15% drivetrain loss.
