GTR NISMO BEATS Z06 & 650S at Big Willow - R35 GT-R - GT-R Life

theDreamer · 02-02-2015, 04:04 PM

Was reading this earlier today, sent to a friend who loves the Corvette & Z06.
His first reply was....45k price difference.

With the Nismo GTR I feel like it is pushing the price barrier a bit to far now, when they first came out you got a lot for the price, and even today it is a good price for the performance at the standard level. The Nismo edition is just leagues above it but for 150k seems a stretch for the car now.

1.4 seconds for a lot more money, plus AWD. Perhaps the ZR-1, if and when it comes out will be a better choice to drive against the NIsmo GTR. But hey, I'll take either one. They should have thrown in the 991 Turbo S as well in this match-up. Or a GT3.

I don't think we will see a ZR-1 this go around, with the Z06 already having the SC it would have to be something crazy to pump a ZR-1 into the game.
Rumors of the mid engine car keep coming around, but that has been going on for a decade for GM & the Corvette so maybe by 2020.

I bet we see some sort of iteration of one dreamer; you know Chevy is going to want that top dog domestic horsepower spot again! Haha :P

I agree. When the GTR first came out it was a huge bargin, but it has since climbed in price with the performance upgrades over the years. Honestly I'm okay with that but Nissan needs to bring something to the table that is between the Z and the GTR. Something in the 50-60k range that can bridge the gap for those who want more than the Z but doesn't or can't afford the GTR. I know personally I'm looking at a Z06 in the next year or two for my next car. While I do love the car out right it's also at the top of my list because there isn't much else out there anyway. The domestic brands are the only ones who have performance at almost every price range 20K-100K+. Japan is more in eco mode with focus on fuel while domestics are doing both fuel and performance options. Japan in general needs to step it up

They needed to make a turbo Z and price it at 52k or so. That would slot in above the Nusmo but under the GTR. I don't see it happening though for this .Z generation. Too bad as I would have got that.

I didn't expect any less. The GT-R is not just a performance bargain. It's a marvel in automotive performance. Brains usually beat Brawn. Hence the GT-Victory.

But these two cars are champions either way...

DCNISMO · 02-05-2015, 08:46 AM

Sounds like the Z06 needs an active rear spoiler, on the straights it get lowered but when you enter a turn and go through it, the spoiler pops up. So on the straight, less drag and down force...but in the turn you get that downforce and get though it better. Thats what I get from the video.

Very impressive. The Corvette Forum's pretty hilarious; the thread went downhill rather quickly halfway though.
