Does it really matter if they're lieing? The point is the GT-R is a good car. As for the 574....that is a huge joke. It is a 3.8 V6 running just over 10 psi of boost. GET REAL! They have this thing called the "gentleman's rule" too I guess that they can't post horsepower ratings over 480hp... Expect the v-spec edition to combat the Zr-1 btw.
