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

[saleen449]

Good feedback, what do you expect the Z06 to put down after the procharger?

Right at 700 using 4in pulley at 12-13lbs boost and otherwise bone stock other than the blower swap. Once I get the cam, heads, and headers on....we will retune with a 3.4 or 3.2 pulley. Car pulls HARD now. Was 534 RWHP stock. 18% loss on the auto.

With the swap we lost a little low end torque(50 lbs at less than 2500 RPM) from stock, but now the torque hits and holds at max all the way to redline.

The Z06 is a blast to drive, even bone stock. Exhaust note is amazing from the factory and it feels like a true "driver's" car. I have not tracked it yet (Procharger just went on), but there do not appear to be many limits to its ability on the street.

The GTR is fun to drive as well, but takes a lot of the excitement out of things. You do feel more confident in the corners, but it feels like you are driving a video game.

Bone stock to bone stock(Z06 is a 15 auto...had stick but got tired of it, and GTR is 14)

GTR beat the Z06 off the line and until about 70....at that point...power to weight takes over. GTR has no chance past 80-90.

One we get the Procharger setup perfected, she and I will line them up again and see if I can take her to 60. LOL

Yes it sounds better and has a real stick (didn't help in this case) but it looks like dog shit. I prefer the c6, and yes no one here would ever track a car.

There are a few here who track their cars...and i dont mean a lame 1/8th. Im talking turns both directions.

Which one of my posts says anything about buying either one?

I merely pointed out that when facts are presented that Nissan builds a heavier car with less power that beats the corvette Z06 (purpose built track car" in all aspects of performance, except the figure 8, then the guys who "are not corvette nutswingers" want to totally disregard the test at hand and throw in a different model of corvette to prove that the corvette is almighty...

I'm a fan of neither, but for an all around car, I would rather have the Nissan if both were presented to me for free... Would not spend my money on either one!

Pretty much what I thought, although I almost bought a GTR but just went ahead and picked up another viper. The GTR on paper should not do what it does, it does so much more with so much less....long live Godzilla.

outlaw 275 -- 4.24


outlaw 315 3.97

I belive toaster has been 4.6x on the 235/8.5

Well, it seems like you guys are talking like lap times would influence your decision on which car to buy which I seriously doubt. If you like the gtr, then fine, just leave it at that.

Lot of fanbois, and nuthugging going on in this thread. At the end of the day, not sure which car I would choose. I might have to say the vette, because its more easily recognizable and is sort of a faux status symbol. And I'd rather have that, than a car that doesn't look as sporty, imo.

no shit, go cruise mckinney avenue in your nissan.

Hey corvette nutswinger... You keep bringing up the ZR1 vs the avatar but You do realize the OP and subsequent conversation is the Nismo GTR vs the new Z06 NOT the ZR1, right?

And based on the OP video and performance of the two cars, I think the Nismo GTR would beat the Z06 on any track. It carries more speed through the corners than the Z06 can and accelerates faster down the straights. Faster is faster, no matter the track..

He likes slow things that fall apart fast....leave him alone. ALL the vette guy's bring up "well see if this was a ZR1 it would get its ass kicked" they have nothing impressive to bring up and these comparisons are about new available cars and the Corvette is going backwards these days. It got beat and that's just how it is, if you like it so much buy one. If we're bringing up "what if's" here is one "well if the GTR had equal horsepower, equal breaking, equal torque the vette will be a bigger slower POS than it is already".

Oh I'm sorry we can't compare the top of the line GT-R to the top of the line Corvette...... oh my bad. Why do that.... we might burst your invincibility bubble.

Okay I'm pretty sure that the lastest Mustang GT can beat any version of the Dodge Caravan around any racetrack too, since we don't want to make it competitive at all...... Or should we use the GT350R just to make sure? Probably since that's how the GT-R nuthuggers roll.

Okay I'll take the C7R and your GT-R can suck it all day long.

but at the end of the day, you're in a damn nissan. i'll take the ZOH
