I'm just so tired of hearing that the GT-R is better than a Z06... when the C6 Z06 came out in 2006, it was the top dog at Nurburgring... fastest street legal car around the 'Ring... but then the 997 Turbo came out and it was fastest... and now the GT-R is almost as fast on the 'Ring with "less" horsepower... but there is also speculation that the GT-R that they are testing at the 'Ring is un-restricted and the street version will not be as fast as the one that is lapping the 'Ring... and the new Z06 or ZR1 will be debuting sometime in 2008, so when are we going to see the 'Ring times on that car?

I love the fact that the horsepower wars have gotten to this level... 28-32mpg cars that can pull 11second quarter miles and still be safe enough to let your grandmother drive them to go to the grocery store... the Camaro, next gen Mustang and Challenger are all coming soon... this is a great time to be alive
