Second to this. I'd take the ZR 1 in any heart beat over many jdm cars.

While the ZR1 is an impressive machine. You cant quite compare 2 cars that are nearly $30,000 apart in MSRP. I think the GTR performed rather well and I prefer the looks personally on the interior and exterior of the GTR. HOWEVER you can't get the GTR in a six speed and that sucks.

its kind of unfair test. comparing top of the line Vette 630hp+ to a base GTR. we will just have wait and see what the Nissan boy can do w/ the V Spec

I think what they are saying is Nissan is going to be factory offering the boost turned up since the V-Spec is coming out. You can just say up the boost yourself to any turbo car, hell turn up the boost on my car and I'll hang with a M3 but that isn't OEM.

Like it has been said already, the ZR1 is the top tier level 3 of the Corvette, it is a great car and out performs the BASE MODEL GTR. So I think every single argument here is moot regarding that point.

I would take a ZR1 over a BASE GTR, but I don't think if I had the money I would spend 100k+ on any Chevy no matter how badass it is. The reality of actually having to live in the car, no thanks. If I just had a ton of money and needed a fast car for the soul purpose of just going fast, sure the ZR1 is hands down the best bang for buck right now, but I care about what it looks like and feels like on the inside as well as the outside. If I have to drive the thing on any sort of daily basis I couldn't accept the interior being so cheap.

What are you talking about? The GTR was targeted from the begining to compete the Porsche 911 Turbo. When was price an issue in that comparison? It wasn't because the GTR won in that comparsion so all the fan boi's didn't have anything to complain about.

Yes the GTR is awesome and the V spec "should" be very fast. But the fact that a RWD full Manual transmission car is beating the current GTR with AWD and all it's computer technology for only $30K more is pretty awesome.

Only $30,000 more? That is a considerable amount of money and really it should be compared to a Z06. I really think that corvette is impressive. However the GTR was not very far behind with less power. And just because it was supposed to "compete" with a 911 doesn't mean it couldn't do that for less. The reason GTR and 911 are compared was because they are close in power. The ZR1 is really more powerful and with more power it better be faster. I think a closer representation of test would be a Z06 and if you put $30,000 in a GTR I would imagine it would surpass a ZR1.

So many people get their panties in a bunch over these videos. It sounds like a Hondatech argument in here. Take the cars for what they are. Simple as that.
