I can't watch the video but I will later.
I still think it's not even match IMO. Chevy has the Corvette, Z06, and then the ZR1.
Nissan has just the GTR. No V Spec or anything liek that.
The GTR shuold be paired with the Z06 and then the V Spec should be paired with the ZR1.

Agreed. I hear what everyone else is saying too unfair fight blahzay blahzay but at the end of the day its stillid take a vette over the gtr any day
Vette>GTR
Shit i'd take a stock C6 over a GTR..I honestly just do not like the GTR because instead of actually doing some mechanical engineering to make the car quick, they use electronic nannies, its just boring.
Not that I can say from experience, I've never driven a GTR. But as Tanner Foust opined, "the GTR is a beast at the track, but it feels like i'm driving an ordinary Sentra out on the roads."

There's supposed to be a NISMO or a V-Spec or watever GTR in the works, but I agree that the New GTR is too electronic. I'd have the GTR as a daily driver, but I'd bring the ZR1 out on the weekends to tear up da streetz!! Wit the GTR I think there is too much of a difference between the R34 and R35. The R34 was more of a true sports car. But you know what? You can blame American society for that. The R35 has to be all electronic and luxurious for people to pay 80 grand for a Nissan badged car. If we weren't so demanding about comfort and shit they woulda been shippin GTR's over here since the 90's. This video makes me wonder if Porsche's accusations that Nissan posted that good Nurburgring time with a modified car are true...

I don't know about all of that. My friend has a Z06 that I have driven hundreds of times. I'm really just not that impressed with it. Of course I've never driven a GT-R. What bothers me the most is that the Corvette still has GM's typical shit quality interior. For $70k you can't get even just a little nicer and better quality interior? It feels just as cheap and looks just like a Chevy LuminaAgreed. I hear what everyone else is saying too unfair fight blahzay blahzay but at the end of the day its still

If I was going to pay for the car with MY money, I'd would never own a Corvette. I would invest into something else for sure. I'd take one if it was free though

That is true but you be careful what you wish for too. Supposedly, the Z06 is a better track car than the ZR1, because it has smaller wheels and weighs less. With the ZR1, Chevy was going for pure speed and luxury to justify a $100,000 price tag. The GTR actually fits between the Z06 and ZR1 because it has Z06 Power but also ZR1 luxury. So it's hard. A good comparo would be the R34 vs. Z06.I can't watch the video but I will later.

It doesn't really have "Z06 power" By that theory, then an Integra LS has the power of an '85 DOHC Toyota CorollaThat is true but you be careful what you wish for too.

PS - A stock R34 would get murdered by a C6 Z06. It's shy a minute 200+hp
