I see what you're talking about on insideline.com, but I've got some points that I want you to acknowledge when you are trying to tell us that the car deserves more credit than we are giving it.
go to
this link and
this link and you will find that they are "targetting" or making "at least" power claims... to me, this means that nothing has been set in stone... to me, this means that what they did at the 'Ring was not what will be available on the streets of the US... and I can PROMISE you that the car was on slicks when it was at the 'Ring because you can tell by the sound of the tires at their limits... its just a simple fact, man... you can make a car go fast in a straight line if you put better tires on it... and the Z06 does its business with runflats and the GT-R does it with regular street tires... there are guys putting Michelin PS2 tires on Z06s and running 3.3 seconds to 60 and in the 10s in the quarter (or faster, since here's a guy doing 10s on runflats at MIR
link to Z06 in the 10s )
make no mistake, I have NO loyalty to only American muscle... I drive a Civic Si for a daily driver, for crying out loud... but when you dont compare apples to apples, you dont get a fair comparison... the GT-R is a GREAT performance value for the money, but dont expect me, or anyone else here, to accpet it as better than a Z06 or ZR1... like I've said before, and no matter the technology that it uses (which, I might add, is quite impressive), the GT-R is just another fast car in a world of fast cars.
