Although, with 700 more lbs and similar whp figures, I think it's a wastye of time.
I do have to admit if they were selling more in the US that I might end up with on in a few years. Maybe a LS8 powered z06 will be enough to make me smile.

Ok I hate to bring up the facts, but the fact is a 997 TT has been raced against the GTR and proved to be marginally faster. And its well known that when you take the AWD traction out of the equation the Z06 is on another planet from the 997 TT.
I mean its not rocket science, the GTR with amazing gearing traps 120.9 and the Z06 with amazing driving traps 128 mph....8 mph from a roll is no laughing matter.

With an awesome driver, the Z06 can run a 10.98 1/4 @ 129mph, that's just insane. So I would say it'll be close between the GTR and Z06 for the average Z06 driver, but, the potential of the Z06 is greater. The GTR is a technical marvel, I'll give it that, and 0-60 in 3.3 is nuts, but it looks weird and it's to much of a niche car, IMHO.
I totaly agree.
The nissian will have some good numbers but why the hell did they make it so freaking ugly?
