will it beat the new 09 super-vette? No.
will it give the current z06 a run. because the AWD yeah, but top end the Z06 should have it due mainly just to a near 6-700 lb weight advantage.
No doubt that the c6 Zr1 will be nice, but just a couple things to consider

1) The retail estimate for the Zr1 is somewhere near $100,000. Of course like the GT-R, I am sure that there will be plenty of mark-up on them as well. The estimated 25,000-30,000 you save can buy you alot of go-fast parts.

2) Will the stock GT-R beat a stock ZR1 in the 1/4 mile? No.
Will a stock GT-R beat a stock ZR1 on a roadcourse? Its very possible (It has already beat the Z06)

I do not want to get too caught up in comparing the cars, both are obviously great cars which I would love to own. But a comment was made that you cannot build a respectable Japanese car anymore, to which I reply that if you do not respect what the GT-R can do for the price, then you are a fool.

Its the kids that put on the fart can mufflers and watch these movies and think they can do these things. My dad works at a body shop so i see what happens to these "untouchable kids" and its scary

but i will encourage this next time any of you guys race ricers, hold your car in low gear so it sounds like your on it all the way, and stay door to door with them once the race starts and look at their face and then give them the finger and floor it all the way and leave them.

either way good kill bro.
. LOL
