In all honesty the GTR has features that would make the ZR1 even more insanely competent beyond its magnificent engine. If it were so awful, well I guess it wouldn't be getting all the accolades it has received over the past year from the world over. It's one thing to dislike a car because its genuinely bad, another to "just because" out of blatant ignorance.

The GTR is pretty much everything the Camaro isn't. The expensive high tech GTR isn't appealing to those who want an affordable rear drive car with a big V8. They gave it launch control that gives it insane 0-60 times. The 3.3s 0-60 is how it recieved so much attention on the internet over the last couple years. Then we learn that using it voids your warranty. Using it excessively requires a new 20k transmission. Then there is the 'ring time. It doesn't matter how good of a braking system it has, or the yaw control, or DCT, or short gearing, etc. Fact is, 480 hp in a 3800 lb car does not equate to the lap time it had.
