Z06 is harsher, slower, less practical than the GT-R. Don't see any reason why it's better.

my old man drives his daily so ya....wrong =)

Isn't that a Corvette, not a Z06?

I agree that the GTR is one of the best supercars out there..but..

What the hell was with Nissan's decision to only make it in automatic?

I swear I read somewhere they'll have an optional 6spd. manual for the V6 and the V8 would only be automatic...i don't know it was a while back...maybe i need to update myself...haha...but that GT-R is sweeett!

 

[friedk]

There is one motor and one transmission.

No manual tranny and a twin turbo 3.8 liter V6 only.

Nurburgring
GT-R: 7:38
Z06: 7:42

There is a lot of suspicion about how the Z06 did it's lap.

The GT-R got to do it from a roll and with traffic. Some people say the Z06 did it from a stop with no traffic...

The new GTR also lapped Tsukaba faster than the ZO6 with some of the wrong settings on. They were saying they could probably cut another second off with Tsuchiya driving and the right settings on.

Again the GTR owns the Z06...

I also heard that the V-Spec will be manual, better handling, lighter and ofcourse MORE POWER!

At this rate the thing's going to go 0-60 in -3.5 seconds. hnoes:

no he drives this

daily

its already got 10 thousand miles on it and its an 07

z06 is a far more hardcore car. It did not need a running start at 118mph to lap the ring on a closed circut. The z06 did it from a dead stop!

The GTR had no traffic!!!!!!!




Your still my best buddy king =)

How about the Tsukaba lap?hnoes:

I honestly do wonder how the GTR gets such good times with having less power than a ZO6 and over 500-700lbs more weight.

I guess the GTR's awd system, chassis, and suspension is that awesome at getting the power to the ground. Either that.. or it's JDM magic.

 

[Snake-eyes]

I look at it like Nissan does...
Luxury Classy sports cars
The turbo, r8, and GTR are meant to compete against eachother



Hardcore Sports cars
The carrera GT3, GT2, and the z06 are meant to compete against eachother

 

[friedk]

So is that why the GTR gets identical/better 0-60/quarter mile times as the ZO6?

I guess we'll see whenever more major reviewers get their **** out about the GTR and do comparisons.

Until then, this argument is pointless. :dancing:

Aww.. Like I said, I don't know the stipulations on the Nurburring times. It's stupid IMO for them to even have official times if they are not all lapped the same. Every single official time should be from a stop with no traffic.

It's just that damn good, there's no other explanation for it.

Car competition is within the price. The GT3 nor the Z06 can touch the GT2, and that my friend is straight fact.

Nurburring times are meaningless in reality...but its great for developing a solid chasis. There is no set standard for times nor prep or traffic, weather conidtions etc...
maybe in the future they will be but then you would need one driver to make it completely equal. Top gear tries this with the stig. Even so certain people are more confortible in car setups then another person. It really comes down to driving everything and "finding" your personal favorite that fits your budget and needs. Everythin else as we know is fanboism

We are all guilty even me =)

the GT2 is god!!!! maybe thats why ferrari brought out the Scuderia and Lambo the SE...and corvette the soon to be crowned Zr-1

Amazing that porsche no matter what anyone claims sets the bar which all else is measured!
