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.
True dat and the vette has no computer system driving FOR YOU (it practically does) and has AWD and the BUT the z06 was faster 0-60 because it didn't have that pos boost lag and had LOTS of TORQUE
