Wow........no one?

All day long..........not one response?

Was there even a question that this car wasn't a ringer?

How do they explain the time on Top Gear or in all the magazines. They are just whining.

It was obviously a ringer.

Dont want to light an old fire but that old "ringer" thread seems to have some credibility.

So.... The ZR1 beat the GTR by how much now?

And you own a ZR1? Unless you do this comes across as fanboyism. ZR1 will compete with the V-Spec anyway so what is the point in saying this. Should be more like, "The GT-R beat the Z06 by how much?"

I have to agree with this one. At over $20k more than a GTR and coming out AFTER the GTR it had better beat it.

The Z06 came out in 2002?

are you guys really on the same page here?

plus.... if you wanna get really picky, wasnt there a thread around here showing the Z06 destroying a GTR repeatedly?

"Fanboyism" is exactly the vibe im getting from this argument.

So are you agreeing that it should be compared to the Z06, or that im a fanboy for suggesting that the GTR cant do what nissan said it could do. Its not possible.

Im not talking about comparison tests, but if you really wanted to id point out that the GTR lost to both the R8, and the M3.

The GTR is an amazing car. its probaly the best car for the money in the world.

But if porsche went that far out of the way to prove that they didnt make that time with stock parts, and still came out and made it public, then Nissan sure as hell didnt. Porsche wouldnt risk their reputations like that.
