Elevation 350 ft
Wind calm
Location Irvine, California

so, the Z06 is on run flats in the cold... is anyone really surprised that the GT-R was faster? kudos to Nissan for building a fast car, but I want to see an apples to apples comparison... because even in the cold weather, 0-60mph was a dead heat, 0-100mph was all Corvette and Porsche and by the time you got to 120mph, the Z06 was pulling away from both competitors like a jet... a full 2 seconds faster to 120mph... to me, that says the Vette was at a big loss down low and that probably carried over to Buttonwillow as well.

the GT-R is fast... on a level playing field, I believe the Z06 would have faired better.
