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

I don't get on Vette, BMW, or Gixxer forums………utterly fan-boy juveniles. I also gave up on the Vortex as well. Although my Nismo was two cars ago, I still enjoy this forum. Rennlist, which I'm on…..can be a bit snotty.

This is interesting. Goes to show power does not always equate to being faster. Balance is key.

OUCH, it hurt some folks feelings. LOL

Is this surprising?

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 MSRP 79,999
Nissan GTR Nismo MSRP 150,000

Also, ZR1. Personally I'd get the 'vette and have a lot of money left over to have fun with. That's not to say they are both amazing cars.

cant use price on this one

Z06 was loaded at 105K as it had the Z07 package with carbon brakes and cup tires all things the NISMO didnt have. the 105K Z06 is arguably better equipped for the track as tested

it should win because it costs more pricing logic also breaks down when the 150K NISMO also out lapped the $351K 650S Spyder the same day

The guy saying the Z06 will beat a La Ferrari is the best

Seeing the Z06 fanboys showing the butthurt is classic. Randy Pobst reaction was classic. Made my day. I just wish they would fine tune the Nismo 370z for us poor folks who can't afford a Nismo GTR.

Amazing how that heavy GTR is so fast! The Z06 has got more power and weighs 300 lbs. less too...Yeah yeah, AWD launch, I know. But still it's amazing for what it can do.

But the Z06 had level 2 aero and was a manual.
Lets see what happens with level 3 aero and auto transmission?

im pretty sure the Z06 had the stage 3 aero because isnt that was the clear wickerbill and that seemed to be the problem. it was causing a lot of drag limiting its straight line acceleration. It was down 7+ mph to the GTR. MT removed the rear clear wicker bill that made it more like a level 2 aero. that improved the speed my 1MPH but made the car harder to control.

You know the solution to drag?...

.... Moar POWAH! with 45k to spare I think you could definitely put something together to be more competitive with the GTR if not surpass it on the track.

For those speaking to money argument... I will say that it is a valid argument. Throw $45k into a Z06 with Z07 package and lets run them again... You are paying for more technology and exclusivity with the GTR nismo.

Yea, its ABSOLUTELY sick. Has ALWAYS been my dream car above ANY vehicle and the latest iteration of the Turbo is just mind boggling. The fecking thing runs with a Veyron-no joke. Sick.
