You know the Edmunds driver sucked he probably could have drastically improved the ZR1s time by not doing powerslides in every corner.

Both cars are fabulous but I found this video report EXTREMELY BIASED!
Also, your comparing a 400HP car to a 600HP car that wud mean to me they are not even in the same league to start with!

But without a doubt the best car won, but it was a rhino up against a bull! Who do you think is going to win?

I had more respect for the "z06 destroying the gtr in oman" video.

?
Its 400 to 500 (wheel) or 480 to 638 (from manufacturers) or 520 to 650 (from estimations of actual output). But the GTR makes up for some of its lack of power with all wheel drive, an quick shifting transmission, and short gearing. No matter how you cut it though, the ZR1 is the better performing car in practically every way. It also costs 30k more.

Totally unfair comparison It should be like this:

GT-R vs Z06; both same price

GT-R V-spec vs ZR1; both same price

Even though im not siding with this car, you guys still gotta give the GTR some credit (3800lbs vs 3100lbs). It was a very close comparison. SAME 0-60 time ???? Oh no. The GT-R v-spec will give the ZR1 something to think about......

Heh, provided Nissan builds a transmission that can handle more than 15 launches... And maybe one that won't void the warranty by using it?

The V-spec has an unofficial time of 7:25. aroundthe ring... Not to say it can't go faster. It will be cool to see if it can beat the new ZR1 time.
