you need to check out some of the videos on youtube. the Z06 is faster in a lot of areas and it's a whole lot easier to work on. imo it's a hell of a lot better car than that POS. **** skylines. overpriced and over hype. we all know that on the street its all about speed and anyways the corvette z06 handles like a dream. like everyone said it is CHEAPER!!!!! it is FASTER!!!! and It has a lot of potential!!!!! let's see if it can hang with the ZR1!!! i think not!!!!
Whatever you say kid.

No you don't MSRP might be that high but I saw a brand new last year's model z06 for under 60 at a dealer.
Yeah new. Not used. Not demo'd. NEW.
Granted they might be trying to make room for new models (camaro) but still.
The invoice said like 72 something.

So why are you even a member? you don't even own a gm? your defending a Jap car on a LS1 forum. sounds like you have some issues buddy. maybe you should be on the GAY-tech forums. go buy a gm and then come back and talk your smack. each has it's strong points and weaknesses..... i would like to hear your side of what the weaknesses of the corvette are.... do yourself a favor and let it go. the corvette is a REAL sports car, not some overpriced s13 with awd and a nice interior. you want luxury go buy a lexus.

First off, it doesn't matter what I drive. Have you ever even driven a Corvette? It's by no means the perfect car. When someone is unwilling to acknowledge shortcomings, it is a blatant sign of IGNORANCE. Calling the GT-R an "overpriced S13" is akin to calling the Z06 an overpriced Camaro.

First of all, nice choice of words-blatant...so that makes you a genius. the camaro/firebird has the engine and tranny up in the front as the C5 and up corvettes have the trans in the back to help out with the weight distrubution, so they are very different vehicles. i will have to agree that we will probuly never own a zr1 or a gtr. so we are going back and forth over some cars we will never have, but yes i have driven a corvette.... 5 corvettes (three being zo6's one having nos), 2 vipers (one 1994 with 20,000 miles and a 2008), porshe 911 turbo, 10 sec formula, mercedes sl600, sl500...blah blah. i work at a very respectful bodyshop and i am one of the managers so i drive all kinds of vehicles. IMO once again whether you like it or not i perferr the Z06 over the GTR. spend some time and read some articles. it's the best sports car all around____PERIOD. MPG, BRAKING, CORNERING, PRICING AND MOST IMPORTANT SPEED!!! am i the only one that has done the research on this??

Yes, you are the smartest man in the world and we all know bodyshop managers are the world authority on performance vehicles 
. Whether YOU like it or not, there are some tracks/situations where the GT-R is faster than the Z06. There doesn't always have to be a "best"... I don't get some people. I would probably get the Z06 over the GT-R for the simple fact that it has a clutch pedal, but that doesn't mean I can't love the GT-R too.

I don't know what magazines you read, but:
Car&Driver
Sports Auto
Road&Track
Motortrend
Edmunds
Automotive Magazine
TopGear
OneLapAmerica(GTR placed higher than all N/A Z06's)
all rate the GTR over the Z06. There has not been one magazine test where a Z06 lapped faster than a GTR in.

"Hype" should have nothing to do with an intelligent person's opinion of a car. Like I said, the GT-R is a great car and so is the Z06. Each has it's strong points and weaknesses. And I don't know anybody that "only" has the money for one of them.
Whatever you say kid.
