That is like me talking about john force's mustang and how it has dominated at the dragstrip and asking what has the camaro done. |
You are only half correct on your point. While John Force's car has NOTHING even REMOTELY production on it - Nothing simular beyond maybe the fact they both have 4 wheels...The Corvette C6-R is built off of a PRODUCTION PLATFORM - the same as the ZR1 it is based on.

This is what people are talking about. The Nissan does not have this pedigree. Also, the Nissan makes bold claims of it's track prowess and ability to launch 0-60 in under 4 seconds. However, do so and you will void your warranty when it breaks. Further: Nissan uses GPS to track your car. It breaks on a racetrack...your warranty is VOID. So, go ahead and take your GT-R V-spec to the Nurburgring and Tie a ZR1's time. Just pray is doesn't break. GM will fix your ZR1 and Ford will fix your Mustang...however, Nissan will take your Yen and walk. Great performance car.
For something that is meant to be a garage ornament brag piece, its not even sexy to look at. The Corvette, the Camaro, The Mustang, The Challenger...on a rainy day I could sit and sip a beer and at least look at them. The GT-R is just ugly from all angles.
