Which is faster on the track. Z06 or GT-R

Most Corvette fag boys just can't stand to loose any comparison, deal with it son!

Eh, they need to visit youtube a little more often. Motortrend and car and driver say lots of cars walk all over the z06, here in the last 5 years. Its just a vette, price point should tell em right about where its at. I'm certainly not the slightest bit impressed with my boss's z06. My initial thoughts were "... that's it?" Guess I was expecting more.

That sounds like all of the Supra owners that I have raced and beaten.

Let's put one of the C7R team drivers behind the wheel of the Z06 and run them again. I bet the outcome would be very different.

The GT-R is an awesome car, but I'd bet the Stig would be faster in lots of other cars some that cost less depending a lot on tires and the racetrack chosen. At a tight slower speed track the GT-R will have the edge. On a bigger higher speed course with larger radius turns, I'd take the Z06.

Any links on this?
CF=Coefficient of Friction?
Grips laterally or longitudinally?

Here is one but there are many others.

Yes; CF is Coefficient of Friction.

Both.

Youre a dumbass. The ability to withstand shear matters or youre just losing rubber to sliding/wheel spin. Wider tires can withstand higher shear forces.

Believe what you want but the only thing that matters if the CF. Tire manufactures have a 3d graph that shows each hi po tires abilities for every size but good luck getting it out of them unless you are an OE talking about using a particular tire on a production car.

FYI: what you are describing is just a higher CF. If you do not believe me try doing an equation that has the tire being 1 mile wide but having a CF of zero.

I don't really care now....they totally lost me at yellow.

It would be interesting to strap both cars to a dyno for a last test.

nowhere in the equation does the size of the tire matter.

Shut the fuck up.

[Ruffdaddy]

In the calculations for how a tire grips the road nowhere in the equation does the size of the tire matter. The CF is all that matters and some racing tires have a CF that is higher then 1.

And the GT-R is also AWD...that plays a huge role in getting out of a turn faster than RWD.

That being said, what the nissan is doing around the track is amazing, less power, more weight, less tire, higher CG and way the fuck faster on a road course, amazing.

For those that don't want to watch:
GTR is faster in all ways than the Z06...

.4 sec faster to 60
.4 sec faster through the quarter
2 full sec faster around the track and carried higher speeds in all parts of the track including the straight...

Z0sucks...

Wellll
Z06 more grip, better brakes, faster from a roll, sounds better, much cheaper, more "fun", better looking.

The Nismo gtr is the 5th fastest production car around Nurburgring. The standard gtr is the 12th. The ZR1 is 14th.

... and Randy Pobst is no slouch of a driver, the GT-R just carries more speed through turns, giving it better exit angles and speeds, so it ends up with quicker straightaway speed as well.
