Nissan GT-R is Japanese and not much more than a Vette.

Sorry just the way it is.

The base Z06 is $88 000 and the base GT-R is about $108 000. $20 000 is a big difference. The GT-R is priced closer to the ZR1 at $120 000 and from what I have read the ZR1 and the GT-R are fairly evenly matched. Not to bad for a 2wd car compared to awd.

Ya, The Vette is ALL HYPE.

Just like LeMans.

Where did the Gran Turismo Ricer finish?

While the GTR is a nice car, it doesn't have the raw visceral feel or sound that the I-6 GTR had.
While the newer car is absolutely superior to the old car, it lacks soul.


It remains to be seen how the C7 will perform vs the GTR

But for a 9 year old design to still compete (and beat) the newer GTR, one has to ask the question of why the newer GTR still comes up short to the 'old chassis old tech corvette?

And when it comes time for servicing, all that technogadgetry in the GTR will be a bit of a nightmare to sort thru when the car hits 5 years old.

Of course fuel economy is a nice treat. And happily the 'Vette still comes out ahead.
