The Z06 gets good mileage for that V8. It's almost identical to the GTR's mileage.

Yeah except your skipping second gear to do it.

Wow. From selling a Z for a shelby to bimmers vettes n gt-r's boy am I late. Lol

Were we talking economy or performance? If you're on a track, either one is going to be burning through its tank like no tomorrow. If you're seeking economy, you drive to maximize that, and the car will do just as well as that 6-banger.

how much boost do you think epa testers were using when they tested the gtr. also since when do you use 2nd to cruise on the highway.

2 to 3 sec split doesnt seem too bad to me given the zr1 comes with pilot sport tires, amazing how they put these crappy tires on their supercar. i was expecting pilot cups like the porsche

haha yeah, they lemoned it right there, walked away free and clear...right across the highway was the ford dealer. Walked out of there in 1hr with a 5.0 lol

As far as the lemon law...not too sure how long it applies, but i had my 370z for a year total...the problems started at 6 months...makes me sad to think i got a lemon cause i really love Z cars and the 370 was just awesome up until

Oh I wasnt saying the GT-R gets babied to get those mpg. All I was saying is that his comment about it being as gas efficient as the GTR should be labeled for what it is and not just throw out there the way it was because that almost makes it sound like the 7L V8 uses same gas as the 3.8 TTV6. Yeah you get those figures because under easy driving the Z06 automatically skips from first to 4th and 6th gear is extremely tall.

Regardless, I guess the idea here isnt just gas mileage, it was just something to take into account when choosing a new car. I think the Z06 is a great car, just the feel is not my cup of tea.

GT-R doesnt have cup tires either...plus if it puts a beating on the ZR1 then we know the z06 doesnt stand much of a chance.

If you can really afford any of these cars the maintenance shouldn't be a problem. Just my .02. If you can't that it's the wrong car for you.

Cruising on the freeway at 65-75mph with a few WOT blasts I got 26.02mpg calculated manually over a 119 mile round-trip.

What do you get in your 332bhp 370Z doing the same?

Right, and but that doesn't mean you WANT to afford it. It's like saying "You make $250K a year gross, why worry about $50K in taxes to support welfare?" **** that.

Ability and want are two separate things.

ZR1 is now offered with Sport Cup, as is the Z06.

Well my last road trip, 4 hours, I got just under 25MPG in my 400whp SC 370z doing an average of 85mph so I think the Z is fine.

Wow...fail comparison. :facepalm:

Brakes are identical.*
Tires/rims are identical.*
Supercharger is maintenance free from what I understand unless you tear the belt up or something. I'm not sure to be honest if it has its own oil supply or pulls from the engine or is a "fill for life" thing or what, but it can't cost much.

*Z06 w/Z07. Brakes require no maintenance for 100K miles unless you seriously track the car, but then all maintenance costs will go through the roof on anything. CC brakes will cost out the ***. They cost almost the same as the GT-R's conventional brakes though, lol.

How is it a fail comparison?

Paying for welfare annoys me almost as much as a $1000+ transmission fluid swap would. (I wish I made $250K, or I could be having this discussion on a Ferrari forum, but sadly, lol)

Also, sounds like my 7.0 is rather efficient.

Ok, you are buying a 90k car, how much do you want maintenance to be, 50 bucks? Again, this is a new transmission which requires more maintenance or slightly more expensive fluid & up keep. This is not a 65k car with an old design setup which has been carried over for the past 10 years.

Honestly what do you want me to say, you are right? No, because the GT-R price is perfectly in line with what it should be.
