Ya I agree. They are damn near trapping what the gtr's do with 75 less advertised hp. Gotta love how light they are.

you might want to search a bit on here, there are plenty of documented runs in the bottom 11s for the c6z.

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).

and yea C6Z's are pretty much one of the best N/A car out there.. think about it.. most of the cars that can beat it are boosted in some way.

2001ws6500hp, are you a nissan fanboy or something?
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..

Those GTR vs the world debates we had on here when the GTR first came out were fun for a little while though weren't they!!

I'd never get the GTR because 1) I hate imports and 2) I want to be able to do regular maintenance on the car without having to tear the front end apart
