That was bad ***!!!

At the end of the vid the zr1 did a victory dance burn out around the gtr. That was sick.

zr1>gtr

Lets see the v spec vs the zr1 now.

That was awesome. Probably one of the best videos I've ever seen just because of the big burnout around the GTR.

Yeah, they were both real low. They don't say what kind of dyno it was.

Funny how they didn't mention that Nissan sells this car with the launch function to achieve those 0-60 times, which were a little slow compared to what they say it will run, and they tell you not to use it and void your warranty for "spirited driving" when they pull the info in the little black box.

+1 on those low dyno numbers for BOTH cars.

I thought it was general knowledge the ZR1 wasn't competition for the GT-R anyway.

too bad those guys can never drive well. i mean, of course magazine guys can drive a well planted AWD car. it takes real skill to get the best out of a RWD monster.

Yay Zr-1. Plus, by the time you invest enough money in the GT-R to get it to now blow up transmissions, you could've bought a ZR-1 and some mods. lol. Honestly though, they should've compared them with the GT-R NOT using LC. Since of course, you pretty much can't use it as a consumer.

The Z06 and ZR1 are hands down the best bang for the buck super cars around. Who can compete?

No more flashing lights after you beat someone now then talking to them in a parking lot. The game has changed, before you park and talk to the guy you get to do a victory lap around their car. lol
