TO ALL THE ZR1 LOVERS! LOL@ PRICETAG

The GT-R is a speed appliance. I guess that's a little more specific to the point. It does the going fast for you and makes you look like you know what you're doing.

I don't see why people can't see the real point here though. Yes, the GT-R is faster than the Z06 stock for stock, and only a little bit behind the ZR1.

But what people forget is that the Vette is a muscle car. Muscle cars have, throughout the ages, been sold as a starting point that can be vastly improved upon. The Z06 is no different. The GT-R, however, doesn't allow much tinkering. It would take very very little to make even the Z06 soundly outrun a GT-R.

But I'm sure once somebody makes a Z06 faster than a GT-R, or some other company one-up's Nissan, everyone will start harping on about the GT-R getting better gas mileage or some BS, anything to keep it in the lead on something.

That's what sucks about the GTR. Older skylines were like muscle cars as you said, what you got was good, but you have the potential for 1000 hp if you want it. The new GTR completely misses the point in that aspect.

The new motor has plenty of potential and with it being the pinacle of driving technology it just makes it that much better. If you saw the new top gear from this past week every engine is unique and the transmissions are unique to each motor. Although the motors from the factory are rated at 480 supposedly they were dynoed at even more than that. I wouldn't be surprised to see a stock motor 1000whp GTR in the next year.
