Never said the GT-R was the best of anything, expect for performance-for-the-dollar value.
But you mean to tell me, that just any old tire will make it around the 'Ring, at full blast? I'm just suggesting that the selected OE tire, at the time of testing, was not up to the task. And who knows, maybe they did it because they didn't know WTH to expect? They're not testing just a new car, but a new platform. When the 07 Vettes ran the 'Ring, they had some sort of idea, of what to expect. I just think it's a "just to be sure" type of deal. The Lingenfelter is fast. Really fast. Faster than the GT-R. But I don't see it outrunning a GT-R by very much, if at all, on a track like Nurburgring.
