I got an Idea ZR1 vs GTR

[Kevykev]

Bets should be placed when the actually production models are compared.

Pick the top 3 Review Companies ie: (Car and Driver, Top Gear and motor trend)

Place actual $$$ bets on the car that will be the "King of the Ring" < LOL @ that.

If judgments conflict pick the best of three.

You guys come up with the rest.


Make it interesting!

don't place bets too high, don't want no body gettin' shot out herre.


...or postpone until V-SPEC is released?

UPDATE 5-13-2008

(2) $50 Bets and several $5 Bets Confirmed

[Got Milk?]

maan. ill own them both with my ferrari.

[DieselNuts]

I've got $5 on the ZR-1

[Sport1.3]

i give not a **** about either

[Got Milk?]

ZR1 is going to won dhaaa. Becuase producers of the Zr1 already knew what the GTR can do, so they did everything to make it better than the GTR.

Nothing says "chick magnet" like appearing as a 40yr old man going through a mid-life crisis.

Which is going to be the case with both cars...

The chick is going to chase your wallet
because if you are driving either of these cars your money obviously isn't nervous. I got $5 on the vette for the win.

You carry your 1 chick in the vette. Ill take 3 anyday Backseats 4TW!!!!

i'll take my 10 and you can have your 3 7's

[SLOWR/T]

i'll take my 10 and you can have your 3 7's

3X7=21 more than double your 10

[SLOWR/T]

What are the tests were betting on? The normal mag. test or the fastest around the Nurbering? I think the ZR1 is over built for a street car. Over all the skyline will be the better car but the ZR1 is moreless a racecar. Ill put 5 on the skyline overall.

[Kevykev]

I see money already on the board!

There you go, that's exactly what needs to be discussed right now.


Ass factor can only be determined by a "real life" experience

[OneSlow5pt0]

i still think the ZR1 will be the better track car

[SLOWR/T]

Of course. Its lighter, better brakes and more power just to name a few. I think over all the GTR will prevail

All the GTR has going for it is its performance, the interior is made of legos and the exterior is nothing special (IMO)

[patrick4588]

should be pretty close 1/4 mile. the gtr runs like an 11.5 if i remember

[SLOWR/T]

IDK about that. The Corvettes, even though RWD they have been able to hook pretty damn good. Their saying mid 10's for the ZR1. We'll see.

[DieselNuts]

So, are we gonna get a list together of the bets or what?

[Kevykev]

Let's not get off topic guys.

So far the Betters are JITB and Diesel, lets start making arrangements.

To the Rest, put your money where you mou....fingers are???

yeah that's about right!

OVERALL WINNER
JITB vs. Diesel
GTR-----ZR1

$5 Bet

[JITB]

i got 5$ via paypal.... let me do some reading before i put up my categories.

[DieselNuts]

The engineer that stamps all my drawings was telling me that his brother just got a C6 ZO6. He's 62 and is dating a 26yr old stripper. I say, good for him, lol

[JITB]

when are they testing the zr1? your gettin ass in either one...

id prefer gettin it in the gtr, you would have more leg room...

[DieselNuts]

ehh, I dunno. I think the leg room in the front seat will be about the same. The GTR def. has more rear leg room though...

[Deke]

So you're not waiting on the vspec? That means you're comparing Chevy's top production car to Nissan's second tier. I call shenanigans.

very good point

[Kevykev]

Well... I put that as an option but it seems that people are "GAME" for the GTR - ZR1 Comparo.



***** There is Another $5 Bet on the table ******

Someone needs to oppose RUFFIAN.

JITB- NO CATEGORIES for now, I see that causing issues for obvious reasons. Were going on -Overall Winner-

Only thing you get to agree on is the review company ie: Car and Driver, Top Gear etc.

Why? They just said that the Zr-1 was gonna knock down the GTR's nurburgring time down as it stands now.The ZR-1 is nothing but a street legal race car. while I won't be surprised if it out performs I wouldn't want one to drive around in everyday.

[DieselNuts]

I wouldn't want one to drive around in everyday.

I know opinions are like a$$holes, but thats what Jeremy Clarkston said about the C6 ZO6.

Don't get me wrong the Z06 was an awesome car but I've ridden in one and that had to be one of the most uncomfortable rides I've ever been in
