Yup!

I've heard Tranny fluid changes were $550+ and oil changes are $250+.
Transmissions are $25k

There are nice, but too expensive to maintain.

GTR. I've owned many Vettes in my day, but the GTR is a much more fun car to have. Puts a smile on your face every time you get in it. Plus, stop light to stop light, not much out there can hang with it.

Since the price is about the same than the ZR1,but for the money I think a Procharged Z06 would do both in a be a hell of a lot cheaper,but thats just my broke *** talkin

Z06...like people on here said "easier and cheaper to maintain". And the factor of a cam 427 just sounds amazing. Cheaper to mod and handles great. Procharge and be done.

For me, the Z06. The soulful sound and the look are just head and shoulders above the Nissan.

Personally I'd say get the zo6...... While some retards can't tell the difference between a base c6 and a zr1 they still know its a corvette...... I know a few guys that have Gtr's and have told me people aske all the time if the car is a new maxima lol.

Like every one has said zo6 hands down heads and cam FTMFW!
Why not go for a carbon edition??

In all honesty why not get one that's already modded?? A zo6 that is.
I'm sure u can find a low Milage used zo6 making good numbers for what u would pay for one new.....

Drive them all and decide.

GTR is ugly but if you don't mind the looks its an awesome car with petty mods.

Funniest thing that I remember hearing from a Nissan Rep was.


"After paying the $95,000 price tag for the car amd the transmission goes out"
"If you can afford the $25,000 transmission.Than this car isn't for you."
