FWIW, both cars are stepping it up and the power war continues. That's a great thing for us enthusiats!

The ZR1 is pretty damn sweet though. I like the GTR a lot as well, but at least the ZR1 still has a manual gearbox!

Umm GTR only lost 80hp from the crank to the ground.. where the ZR1 lost about 133hp from the crank to the ground...

also GT-R's AWD ATTESSA drive system is somewhat unique.. It will automatically route power to the rear wheels up to 90% for better acceleration. the old R34 did this as well... so in some cases you can almost call it RWD..

The GTR is made for the idiot drivers that want to go fast too..

ZR1 is more of a drivers car.. it's twitchy as hell, light weight, and delivers good power without much computer interference... Much like our S2000...

WELL SAID.....


lack of skill...... buy a GTR

understand throttle over-steer.... buy a Vette.

I honestly just hate AWD, something about the "just turn the wheel all the way and give it gas".

GTR is a good car that is REDICULOUSLY advanced.. But.. just because something is advanced doesnt mean its better.. how does that saying go? "takes all the fun out of it."

vspec is supposedly droping the weight by 200lbs and upping the boost to increase 50hp..

Bench racing we have
ZR1 - 638bhp 3200lbs
Vspec - 530bhp 3750lbs.
