zr1 vs. gtr
Used prices is a whole other ballgame IMO. I was referring to new car prices and new the Z06 is on par with the GTR if not slightly higher. I haven't seen any used GTR's for sale yet either so I dunno but if we were dealing with used vehicles I would probably opt for the Z06. 
whats the quartermile time of a c6 z06? and there wasnt any top speed catgory, nor a roll race. id say the c6zo6 is right around 12 flat. i seen bone stock down to the paper go a best of 11.93. and 0-60 is prolly better in the gtr bc the zr1 tied w it, so i doubt the z06 will be as fast or faster than the zr1.

From what I've read and seen concerning the Z06 and GTR is that the Z06 wins hands down from a roll or a dig. As others have stated the C6 Z06 is a mid to low 11 second car with a good driver.
As far as handling, the GTR is prone to neutral understeer that is easy to deal with at and beyond the limit. While you get amazing grip and you can blast through corners, it's not really capable of being tossed around or "toyed" with. On the roadcourse the GTR is quicker on every track than the Z06 but only marginally, in some cases by less than a second. If you want a car you can mess and throw around than the Z06 is the right choice.
Personally, I like both and I'd be hard pressed to choose between the two but I would probably pick the C6Z solely for its used cost (though that's not entirely fair).

i hate nissan, or any foreign cars. im just sayin i dont think that the c6 is as fast as theyre makin it out to be. i think the record for the zr1 with drag radials is 1098, and this dudes tellin me c6s run 10s easy on radials,
he is telling you the truth... with drag radials and a tune a c6Z will be in the 10s.. a C5Z with CAI tune and tires will be in the 11s..
