I think both cars are amazing but I gotta say I would take he ZR1 over the GTR if I had the choice. With all of the regulations, limitations and monitoring that Nissan is doing with the GTR it is not going to but an awesome tuning platform. Hell I remember reading that changing out the wheels and tires voids Nissans warranty on their beast.

^^ Yep.

Impressive though. I'd still like to hear some stories of the GTR on the ring with better tires. All the articles I've read were complete stock, and the drivers always complained they could have gone faster if it wasn't for the factory rubber.

Were talking about a difference in a matter of tenths of seconds. In those conditions everything from driver, track condition, wind, heat, humidity, etc come in to play. Using a non-official timing (for any car) is almost worthless.

What about the fact that it beat cars costing over half a million dollars?

meh, Id rather have a GTR even if they were the same price. When you get to that level of performance its really just a matter of personal preference.

better looking??? it looks like every other corvette except bigger brakes!

The GT-R is sex on wheels and one of a kind, and i guarantee you nismo is gonna make some damn good aftermarkets for it, so by the time u add the extra 30K that the ZR1 costs, the GT-R will smoke that shyt by a long a shot.

Your ignorance is quite grand....... You should stop now, and just have left at it is your personal preference one looks better than the other. Because you have no factual information to back up the rest of your comparison. It is very clear you have no clue about the ZR-1.

The GT-r's dick can't swing like that

And don't most car companies test on Nuremberg as more of like an endurance thing? Like who gives a shit about a second difference in an almost 14 mile long track whoa the test driver scratched his dick and now the GTR PWNS youuu
