You compare the GTR to a 911 turbo S and the ferrari's etc because thats the goal Nissan set out for.

The ZR1 is the competitor for the GTR, not the base corvette.

Its like comparing the bmw m3 to the v6 stang, when really the boss is the m3 competitor. Why would you do that?
Well yes and no. Depends what you're doing the comparison for. If you're actually looking to buy the cars then price definitely should come into play. Just performance comparisons maybe not as much.

I don't think even a fully loaded Z51 would be $75k. That GT-R price you're talking about isn't exactly fully loaded either. The black edition GT-R costs like $10k more IIRC.
