There were 3 GTR's at the Texas Mile. One of them had paper plates still on it. The fastest time I heard was 168. No too shabby but not ZR1 class.

What you fail to mention is that the GTR has 100 LESS hp to the ground and is rated at 150 less HP on the motor, yet does the 0-60 the SAME time as the ZR1.
Put another 100 hp to the ground on the GTR and lets see what happens.
Is the GTR a better car than the ZR1? I would not go that far, but lets be fair here. 100hp and two more cylinders the Z06 should win. Not to mention the ZR1 stickers approx $45k more than the GTR. Both are great cars, but whats funny is that all the big dogs are now compairing their cars to a nissan. That is funny! :lol

My point here is that the nissan is a good middle ground car and great performer.

The ZR1 is a great high end car with crazy HP. I bet its a blast to drive! :thumbsup

Nissan is an interesting car in the arena that Shelby mentioned. Too bad Nissan could not do it for base 911 money or less. Don't really think its fair to compare it to cars in the super car class. IMHO.

Here we go again. For me personally the GTR does nothing, even if it $hits golden eggs out if its tail. The GTR is touted to be the next gen engine this, fit & finish that and so on and so forth - notice I left out the bucket of bolts & nuts they call a transmission. I am sure there are ample people that find the GTR and the ZR1 to be gorgeous, I don't like either. With the ZR1, there is simply no substitute for inches.

The good news for me is that our GTs are as near a perfect car can be.

The GTR can package 10,000 Horses and I will look at it and say :ack
With the ZR1 I will look at it and say its a Vette.
