I have a lot of respect for the Alpha 9. Gtr's are amazing machines but i think if the Z had some boost that would be a different story.

And then if the GTR had 2 more cylinders then it would be a different story again.

I like how a lot of people here turn around the "ricer excuse" of "well I can go faster for less money" when a H/C/I C6Z gets beat by a turbo import. It's the same excuse, and it's still retarded.

A fast car got beat by a faster car, both are pretty badass but everyone has their opinion on which they'd want so who gives a ****. Just enjoy the damn video with getting butthurt.

I expected that outcome.
Actually, I expected the C6 to get pulled even harder.

The cars are both bad a$$ and are both of a different breeds.

There is a lot that goes into a race like this ... the GT-R is optimized for racing with the trans, no lag on shifts + a lot broader power band. The Z is more so peak HP and a drivers game.

also keep in mind that though the GT-R makes more power it's also 650+ #'s heavier then the Z

I would take both

I know the GTR has a pretty broad power band, but I wouldn't describe a H/C LS7 as peaky...

o.k..peaky is maybe not the proper word, but I'm sure you and others understood more so what I was getting at.

The GT-R makes 800 on its higher boost setting.

I'm also not surprised to see an 800hp GTR beat a 550whp Z.

Regardless of the weight difference, it's hard to beat a boosted ride with an extremely efficient auto that isn't losing boost in between lightning fast shifts.
