Nissan GTR vs Corvette LPE ZO6

xiven · 06-30-2009, 12:31 PM

i want to see another run between those 2 cars. if the gtr was not letting off then the vette had to have a horrible start. i demand a re-match.

I suspect an invisible tow line that pulled the Corvette, which caused it to catch up.

lol, why would the GTR let off. look at the other vids from those people and none of the cars are letting off. the vette seems to have had some minor traction issues.

I make perfect sense... By the end of the race (I assume was more than a quarter based on the time it took to finish - 20 seconds) there is no way that the GTR got so far ahead on the launch that the Vette wouldn't have beat it. So I call BS.

Look, I'm not knocking Nissan. I'm just saying that those numbers don't add up right.

Take it easy fellas. It's a dragrace not a conspiracy.....lol

chevy paid the Gt-R to let off....lol

^^^ LOL! Damn old fool!

Gt-R launched and bye bye then Corvette spun a bit and Nawzzzzz it.

this race is exactly what happened when i raced this evo at the track last week.. he killed me off the line by like 2 car lenghts but mid track i started gaining a LOT of ground and by the end we where side by side. 3rd gear drop and the corvette would leave the GTR

How dare anyone say that a Vette can beat a NISSAN??????

Even a limited edition Nismo Versa can beat a Z06!!!!

...if the 1/4 mile track was extended...

nogoodname · 06-30-2009, 02:53 PM

^^ then it wouldn't be a 1/4 mile anymore...lol

Corvette needs a 1/2 mile track

Catching up doesn't win races unless the car catching up crosses the finish line first....which obviously wasn't the case in the video...so why do you Vette-mongers continue to let your denial in your minds create a "happy" ending

and excuse for the Vette that your own eyes can't substantiate or rationalize?

Wait...so was this a 1/4 mile race or a mile race or just a race till you hit the end of our cones?

How about just "normal" everyday traction issues that everyone racing has to cope with????

Ever since the Cobra Mustang Terminator came out in 2003 and started handing Vettes their butts the Vette-mongers have done nothing but whine and had excuse after excuse whenever they lose a race.

Man, why don't they just shut-up, grow a pair

and "man-up" once and for all instead of acting like a whining pussy everytime one gets beat...
