The GTR isn't that expensive, they are close in cost. My buddy I think paid 75k for his, what's a new Z06 loaded go for, close to $80k?

you would buy an 80k car to drive it all kinds of weather? ****, id buy a nice used WRX for a weather beater and that Z06. i could never drive as ugly as the GTR, not to mention you arent as involved driving with AWD and 40,000 computers helping you

GTR is a very nice car but, I would still rather have a ZO6.

Don't forget that activating the Launch control on the GTR voids the warrenty.

I don't think the GTR was necessarily built for racing... and it would probably win in a drag race to be fair.

gtr is 80k, where as you could pickup a c6z06 for high 30s low 40s nowadays. Big difference in price

It is if you break the Tranny in it while using it. So it'd be like playing with fire if you use it.

Sucks for them guys too, I think I remember hearing it was around $25k for a new one? Could have been $15k, but damn expensive either way.

So many misinformed idiots still complaining about this GTR warranty! For the 10000000th time, you can now use the LC without fear of voiding the warranty. Nissan changed the clause for 2010 models and previous years. 09 models need only go to the dealership for the reflash, in which it lowers the LC from nearly 5000rpm to 3500rpm launches!

Anyways, give me the GTR anyday. Far more refined vehicle with a turbo motor and TRANSMISSION that has proven to hold 800hp reliably.

Don't compare new cars to 3 year old cars. If you want to play that game, I'll just but a '97 Z51 and put a h/c/i 408 LSx in it and stomp the Z06 for half the price. Gimme a break

Still can't beat a Zo6? You say that as if it is sad. Do you know what it would take for an fbody to beat a stock C6Zo6?

Using the launch control on the old ones voided your warranty.

The 2010 GTRs do not come with launch control though...
