It did

So why all the fuss and attention being lavished on the GTR?

The Corvette is clearly the better car

Isn't it?

It's certainly faster

Yep must be a belter!

Pics?

Well, if it's anything like the Z06, it'll be a crap road car. It may not be though. Supposedly the road manners of the GT-R are good.

The other thing is the playstation generation loves skylines, but over here we're still down on anything american.

so a lot of it is psychology and heritage.

I actually prefer it to the GT-R.

But then the thought of a big V8 and a blower makes me happy.

If you watch the vid, he get a few of the lines wrong and is short shifting through areas too. A quicker time will be soon no doubt.

It's upset the GT-R boys about as much as the GT-R upset the 911 boys.

Lots of toys out the pram, "must be special tyres", "not a real sportscar" and "I'd never own a Corvette" comments.

Before you read the following comment, I'd rather have the corvette. Probably, but then again, that might be because I'm heading to the ring in about 5 hours

Look at the pic, there is no way that suspension is going to be comfortable, it's obviously been set up just to do well at the ring/track.

standard car apparently

same as Nissan claimed for the GTR

No, I mean the car is as standard set up to do well at the ring/track.

I'm not sure how you can draw those conclusions from the picture

My beemer has a much higher ride height and is still pretty uncomfortable on less than good surfaces

It looks awesome. LHD only will put people here off though. I doubt it is comfortable and it certainly will not be quiet inside.

saw this on piston heads. Love the Corvette
