Or how about this guy has no real facts to back up that the z06 is a better bargain; Just pure speculation. Maybe the carbon changes things now (still yet to be official), but back in 2008, NO WAY the z06 is a better bargain.
Here, I'll give you facts rather than an opinion.
Fact: The gt-r gets through the quarter mile just as fast as a z06.
Fact: The gt-r is better at everything else
If you don't believe Nurburgring times, how about Steve Millen on Buttonwillow: 1:56 compared to 2:02.
Or how about Slalom: 73.4 mph vs. 70.6 mph
Or how about braking from 60: 108 vs 111 feet
Or how about lateral accleration: 1.01g's vs .99 g's

Don't like Road and Track?
How about Motor Trend?
MT figure eight: 24.1 vs. 24.8
Braking: 105 vs. 108 feet
Same lateral acceleration in their case
No slalom, but that wasn't even close

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...s_pricing.html

This is all forgetting that back in 2008, when this guy wrote his rant, the msrp of a gt-r was just under 70, even cheaper than the z06. Honestly, how could you even read that article with a straight face?

GTR's also today (pre-owned) you can get one around the 50's range; also you can check if its ever been launched so not to worry aout the rompage factor.
