moving to the video forum.

 

these guys posting on youtube are idiots...

one guy said, theres people running 11.0x already with just ECU and breaking 10s with ECU and exhaust


....the Z06 has ran 10.9x w/ stock tires...

 

Ranger did a 10.8@130 on a completely stock ZO6, on drag radials and he missed the 3rd gear shift point on that run.

The ZR1 should easily be able to do well in the 10s with a set of drag radials.

 

exactly...

 

Edmunds times are always slower than other mags/reviews on all cars!!

 

I would take the vett over the nissan any day of the week.

 

i can already see it, with a whipple or kenne bell this vetts will be making 800-1000whp with stock factory longblock

 

With all the evidence mounting against the GTR, I have honestly lost my boner for it. With the lack of real world performance vs. rated times and broken trans with heavy use.


I have always been a Nissan guy. But it looks like my mind has been changed. Not just fromt his thread either. My decision culminates from a veriety of sources and a bunch of research. Makes me sad really. On to bigger and better things I suppose.

 

I think the GTR is more comparable to the new Corvette Z06. I read somewhere that it beat the Z06 (only) on a road course, but I'm not sure by how much. I do agree, however, that car (no matter how great it performs when it works) is garbage for the $. The dealers will not warranty the work that needs to be done on them and the transmissions are garbage.

The 1/4 mile time for that car, stock, is horribly weak... and that's with the AWD launch.
I'd take that car in my almost 6 year old Z06... i'd even remove some mods.
