Wow.
You just refuse to quit, huh?
We get it. It's a quick car.
You can stop being a 'pimp for Japan' (along with your banned cohort, castillo,pssonu,suprastarz,tundralover,TOYboy,25/45/infinitypsi,datsunsan,etc. did I leave any user/side names out??! ) now, it's OK.

That being said, I would STILL rather have the Z than your object of worship.

Yeah the GTR is actualy making about 500-510HP so being about 20-30HP underrated. Sounds a lot like the LS1 Fbodys

i'm sorry but you are still uderrating it, the average drive train loss is 17%, an AWD is usually more say 20% to 25%, the numbers don't lie. plus the weight of this car kills it, i had much respect for nissan until this.

The new skyline is fast...but it is slower than the C6Z...the C6Z's substantially higher trap speed says a lot.

Put both of them in the hands of good drivers and the new Skyline is going to be dead, period.

I do not think the C6Z is getting .17 drivetrain loss...I may be wrong not trying to start a fight over that...but I thought it was somewhere around .15 and a solid axle usually around .12. If I am wrong please correct me. Thanks!!!

Damn, I think it actually just got less appealing to me...

That "chin" needs to go backwards toward the wheels like the R34's, but keep the splitter...This car just looks too...un-Skyline-y to really get my blood moving. Don't really like it anymore...

Wait, that's what it reminds me of...one of those generic ugly sports cars from Burnout Revenge...

So basically it's neck and neck with the Z06 and (if anyone ever pays sticker) costs about $10g more.

Objectively, it's a sweet car, no doubt. But they did miss the bullseye by just a bit...the Z06 still retains it's title.

Subjectively, it looks like a pissed of Shih-Tzu...and thanks to the multitude of posts about this car, it's equally as annoying.

I guess this is really all a mute point now, seeing as the Z06 is already the old model.

Anybody want to organize a team of guys to spread out and innundate every nissan forum on the net with every tidbit of info on the ZR1 when it hits the streets? I'm down for that!

I think someone with the skillz to do it needs to create a new smiley that is a mallet with the letters "GTR" on it pounding the little yellow smiley guy in the head. I think that reflects most of our opinions on this subject.

I think we should be better than those ********. Though I do like the idea for a Bad Boys Corvette Racing skull bashing a GTR with a mallet!!!
