I own a C6 Z06, Toyota Tacoma and currently riding in a Porsche on my way to Annapolis. Your argument bears no merit, what are you trying to prove? The ZR1 will hand the GT-R it's ass on a domestic platter. Simple laws of physics apply at some point. What do you want to compare? Braking? Acceleration? Lap times? Cup holders? Styling? They both have their hits and misses in the purely subjective category. There was a time when the 997 Turbo boys were ecstatic that the ALL WHEEL drive Porsche would be a Z06 off the line (as it should), only to be embarassed once the Z caught it by 95mph and walked its' ass. I think it may be you who is so quick to "hate" vice the alluded to "dumb" domestic owner. Be careful, some of us "dumb" domestic owners are truly enthusiasts and may not fit your narrow minded view.


BTW- I like the GTR cept' for the front end. Good job to Nissan.


Now back to the 13% here who truly understand automotive technology and performance trends. As Neil said earlier, it would be interesting to see what the ZR1 will do with a C6.R driver or equivalent. I'm sure we will be seeing some comparisons soon in some of the auto rags.
