I don't trust Porsche, like I don't trust Ferrari or Lamborghini or Corvette. Carmakers cannot be trusted.
They can use custom specs and/or slick tires and you'd not be the wiser.
On the other hand I trust a publication such as Sport-Auto.de which uses a regular car, Michelin tires and the same driver for each and every tests. The only variable is the car and the Nordshleife as well as wind/track temperature. Plus they record the attempt as you can see.
When Sport-Auto.de driver made the lap times it was 6.58.22 vs. 7.00.03
Again. Not string theory. The Pista and the Gt2RS have basically the same weight:power ratio
If Ferrari sent their team to Germany doing all sorts of magic to optimize Nordshleife laptimes they'd come up with a 6:44 too.
If anything it's Porsche using marketing gimmicks to sell more cars, not Ferrari. Lamborghini is guilty of this too. Every manufacturer which sends its team and driver to Nordshleife, Hockenheim, Silverstone etc. is using it as a marketing gimmick.
Such cars are expensive BUT not that expensive that publications won't get their hands on them, just let the publications do the lap timing.
