I'll be the first to admit that I'm jealous of those that get to see a ZR1 in the garage.

But when it comes down to the driving experience aspect of the Corvette vs. GT-R debate, I'd still take a damn ZO6 (instead of ZR1, because the prices are realistically comparable) over the GT-R--even if it is slower in showroom stock numbers--, because at least the Vette still lets the driver do the driving. The GT-R is an appliance, not a sports car.
You're kidding right? The GTR is an appliance? Tell that to Ferrari, who has more systems than a GTR, that what they produce isn't a sports car it's a toaster oven.

This statement is incomplete.

Anybody that has $400k to drop on a car probably isn't an idiot. But anyone who does needs to donate the $400k to charity. At the end of the day it's still just a corvette. IMHO GTR>Z06>ZR-1.

Yes it would be but not on a ZR-1. I'd buy:
GTR-$70k
Supra-$30
Ferrari 550 Barchetta-$200k
Maseratti Quatroportte-$100
