Nice car but it isn’t a corvette killer just my opinion i don’t care what else would say or flame

Any of you guys who thinks a Corvette of any kind can beat the GT-R is deluded and living in La-La land…

Zack you are living in a La La Land and keep on living there because if you got out by mistake you will be covered with exhaust perfumes from the corvettes 🙂

Wait and See ZR1 Vs GTR R35 in kuwait

i will laugh so hard

the gtr came fourth and the enzo fifth… There’s a corvette on the list at around seventeenth position… I doubt a corvette can even come close to an enzo, let alone beat it like the gtr.. American cars are all muscle, however, when it comes to cornering and handling… There is no competition with the japs. I’m sure slot of u will agree.

it’s ok dered it doesn’t need it. the zr-1 beats the shit out of the GTR with ancient technology from the 60’s 😀 it’s just a better car.

I agree 100% with sfsa78 about american cars being rubbish at cornering…They are all muscle but handling of a wheel-barrow. There is no way that a GTR gets beaten by a ZR-1 on a racetrack. Straight line maybe, but not on a racetrack….
All corvette lovers, please read sfsa78’s comment again:
“There’s a corvette on the list at around SEVENTEENTH position”.

Its too bad some still don’t know that american cars are technologically way behind on German & Japanese cars…By the looks of how many American cars in Kuwait, that’s the majority of ppl.

zack the ZR-1 corvette absolutely destroys the GTR and every other stock supercar on the Nurburing AND in a straight line.

Look it up if you don’t believe me, there are even youtube side by side track videos to show you it was way faster. it’s quite amazing actually esp for an american car.

Holla,
I’ve just seen those videos and it’s not just amazing, it’s nothing short of a miracle!!! Heinnn! ZR-1??? Who’d have thought it? How come the americans came up with the supercar to top them all? It doesn’t make sense after all their failures….Baffling….It must be European designed.

Guys no matter what you say nothin Beats the Skyline – GTR .. since the day they released it .. it has got the reputation of being the most dangerous ride that the man ever made, it could kill in matter of seconds .. plus it the right ride to fix as many toys to it as you can afford .. from turbo, cam, filter, computer and the list could never stop !

Word Out

hahah yeah i know. As much as i like the corvette, i thought the ZR-1 would come close but not beat the mighty GTR. however it destorys it by almost 3 seconds which is quite a bit in a test like this.

Dude GTR Suck it doesnt mean i dont love them but i prefer new Corvette..!! what you guys think about the handling and shit dont talk unless you test by your self the new corvettes handle so good and have Amazing skid rate to 0.95G and the ZR-1 have over 1 G which is amazing and the poor GTR haves a 0.87G which is Camry like anyway no worries if i am buying one of them

i will buy both 🙂 but not the GTR The V-Spec coming soon

And can i add somthing that will make holla happy

1-No race car have’s 4wd <> (4wd is for babies who cant handle 2wd)
2-The car doesnt feel like a sports car when you turning <>
3- NISSAN << how can you call this Race car i would really love to see a GTR badge only

I agree with sfsa78. No doubt the ZR-1 would smash the GT-R in a straight line, but with the amount of torque it produces, if it goes into a corner, its going to have its tail spinning out the back. Thats where the GT-R comes in…

man can anyone read? Stop getting your car info from video games.
The Zr-1’s performance destoryed every other car out there it’s simple.

the ZR-1 is performance king right now and we’ll have to see how it fares when the Spec V GTR comes out.

Mr.Pedro, that is the most stupid thing i’ve ever read, obviously, you’re clueless when it comes to motor sports.

Ever wonder why the skyline GT-R dominated street racing and touring? 4WD is not for babies, it’s for people that have a brain and what maximum performance. Nissan skyline/GT-R is made for maximum performance and racing, corvette z06 is made for quarter miles, and to make a lot of noise. The handling on American 2WD cares is bad, and no where near the handling of the GT-R. Please get your facts straight, and don’t post shit. Thanks.

To cut it short:

-You want a car to race on a straight line, make a lot of noise, then go with the z06.

-You want a car to race around tracks that have turns, a car that is easier to drive and has much better control then go with the GT-R

Ok. Lets compare like for like shall we.

ZR1 is not out yet. 2009 i think is the release date
It costs considerably more. $100,000 vs $70,000 ish
It uses extensive amounts of carbon fibre and has a much higher power output.

Now then. The GTR is an impressive car for the price and it did beat the already existing Z06.

I would prefer to compare the new ZR-1 with the upcoming GTR V-Spec.

The V-Spec is already running on the ring now with alleged times of 7:15. This car will be lighter and more powerful and a better comparision against the ZR-1 and they should be launching around the same time so lets see who has it.

My money is on Nissan to come up trumps with its superior chassis and technology and i would feel safer to drive the nissan to its limit rather than the corvette.

That is why i have ordered a GTR and frankly cannot wait to get my hands on it in April here in the UK.

Either way whichever car is faster, I feel like the GTR will empower the driver (me) with the confidence to reach its maximum capability when drivers in other cars will bottle it. (Look how hairy Scuderia or Carrera GT is at the limit even the LP640 is scary in the wet suprisingly to say it has 4 wheel drive)

I’m not a pro driver and do not pretend to be. According to one post you could even call be a baby however i know that in the GTR i will be f**king quick on road and track. Only pros will have the bottle to take me on in a rear wheel drive car and i havnt come up against one yet in my exisitng R34 GTR.

I also cannot wait to tune my car and get some more torque out of it as i know the chassis is ready to handle more power. (not sure about the gearbox though)

At the end of the day its a personal choice and it also makes sense on my pocket in these economic hardships. If we all liked the same car there would be no other to compare against.
