I am also betting that most GT350R go for 100K and over. They are only making what, a couple hundred? You won't be getting one for 60k.
Again the times were marketing hype. I'm sure it was some time set by a factory driver versus a journalist time or something like that. Next they'll tell us is also beat the mclaren, Ferrari and Lamborghini in some weird scenario too. But again the GT3 is THE car to beat.
It's similar to how the Type R just beat up on the m4 at the track except that was actually head to head.
You seem to have some kind of denial thing happening here... you are making all kinds of assumptions as to why the 350R couldn't possibly be close to the GT3 but you may be completely wrong.

I don't disagree that it could have been biased and pure marketing hype but we don't know. Until we know, I think it is a bit fanboyish to be saying it can't possibly be true. Wait... it can't POSSIBLY be true... must be hype

P.S. I also do not think it will match the GT3 in the wild but I'm also not as black and white "not possible" as you are
