THAT THING IS SICK!!!! Just looking at it on the track I can tell it's going to make quite alot of noise. Can't wait to see the head to head with the GTR and the expression on the Nissan fanboys faces when we kick their asses...

Yet again people comparing a 70K car to a 100K car. If you want to make it even spend the extra 30K into the GTR and see who wins. Simple fact is the AWD platform the GTR offers is outstanding for drag and road course purposes.

Not saying the ZR1 is junk cause damn that thing is fast but dont try to bash a car not in its price range; your comparing apples and oranges.

Stock for Stock it would be a close race. The GTR would pull a much better 60 foot but the vette had a bit more power with less weight.

Then why compare any car that isn't the same price.

Ok if we are going to go off this basis then lets stop comparing cars altogether. If Nissan wants to run with us they are going to have to deal with the two Zs. That oh well lets look at the price bullshit is just an excuse that people make when they know they can't compete. What do people say when the Z06 goes out and just pimp slaps a Ferrari F430? Nothing, because its all about the car not about the price it holds. Yes this car is going to just run over anything that gets in the way, its going to kick *** and take names. Whether the name is Ferrari, Nissan, Dodge, or whoever. But i can't wait for this monster to destroy the GTR so the fan boys can go back to the drawing board.

Only problem with this was a well known Car Magazine had a huge article calling the Nissan the Z06 Killer and that has sparked most of the talk.

Actually if you look at the title to that magazine you'll notice its "priced" like a Z06, and is a "corvette" killer. But it doesn't mention Z06, it just states corvette. But thats just enough to get the fan boys excited over nothing.

GTR is king. skylines have been banned in certain race circles because of domination. we as chevy guys like to think nothin runs like a chevy. when GTR's get here and start gettin modded, a lot of people are gonna be lookin crazy. that being said i'd kill for a ZR1, after a GTR
