finally watched the GTR vs Z28 track time video.

soooo the Z28 was .28 faster.........with carbon ceramic brakes....and track tires. thats actually sad. i dont care about the little price difference. that "track-designed" Z-28 is cool and just as fast but i'll take my $75 and either buy a new Vette or go grab some more money and get a new GTR for a little extra.

Ok...

GT-R Premium: $101K
GT-R Track: $115K



Besides, for the track, the GT-R isn't nearly as well suited.

the differences between the 3 GTR models is about 20-50lbs of weight and no power differences. so i'll go get a 2014 premium for $85k and only have spent 10k more than the Z/28 and only be (coincidentally) .28 or so slower on a track lol

i'll take the GTR

I would as well. But it is good to see 'murica finally able to make a 3800lb car handle. Nissan was just able to do it with all the creature comforts (albeit slightly slower on the track).

No, it did not.

Quote:
As if on cue, here come the Camaro boys and their bag of timing equipment. After some laps Pilgrim describes as “edgy,” the data shows 1:35.76 -- 0.53-second quicker than the Z/28. Further data dissection shows the one area where the Porsche GT3 is making up time on the Camaro: down the straights. On the front straight, it's 6 mph faster, no doubt thanks to its lighter curb weight (3,153 pounds), slipperier body and quicker shifts
I know....it's a moot point really. Props to the Camaro for keeping up and it was noted that the Porsche was more difficult to drive.
