It’s been a quiet week in Cardom, so for Autoblog Podcast #92 we take time to address some of the excellent emails we’ve gotten at our new podcast at autoblog dot com address. Feel free to send in questions, comments, SHO-centric ribbing, whatever! We can’t promise that it will make it onto the ‘cast, but it just might. Before we dive into the binary mailbag, we discuss some of the vehicles that we’ve been sampling - so basically Damon talks about what he’s been hooning around in at track events. Thanks for your 57 minutes this week!

Nissan GT-R V-Spec lap times stun observers

Click above for a high-res gallery of the Nissan GT-R V-Spec.

The prototype Nissan GT-R V-Spec, wearing the “Victory Specification” designation reserved for the ultra high-performance Nissan GT-R, has been caught lapping the famed Nürburgring at an incredible, if not simply unbelievable, 7:25 per lap. This, according to bystanders trackside. (For comparison, Walter Röhrl lapped the Ring in 7:28 while driving a Porsche Carrera GT in 2004.)

In contrast to the standard Nissan GT-R, that made the run around the ‘Ring in 7:38, the GT-R V-Spec has a new front splitter, modified rear spoiler, and different wheels. A more extensive use of carbon fiber has reportedly reduced the weight by upwards of 330 pounds. Of course, Nissan engineers also tweaked the twin-turbo powerplant for another 70 horses… or so. Thanks for the tip, XeroK00L!

Click above to view our massive gallery of the 2009 Nissan GT-R.

With only 20 miles separating us from North Lake Tahoe, it’s obvious that I hadn’t secured the hood of our Super Silver Nissan GT-R after poking and prodding inside the engine bay. The left side of the bonnet is raised about a quarter-inch and flapping slightly at speed, so we pull off into a newborn subdivision to slam it shut. I step back inside and catch a glimpse of a silver Corvette in the side view mirror. The telltale air intake on the front bumper confirms that the man behind the wheel is an aficionado; it’s a C6 Z06 and there’s no doubt the driver knows what the GT-R is.
