Yeah but then they end up ruining the GTR if they bump the price up that much. It's supposed to be the "affordable supercar."

it would still be a great bargain and way cheaper than a ferrari or lambo. besides aren't the corvette zr1 and viper acr priced around that range even though they are barely faster than a gtr?

I sure as hell wouldn't pay $100k for a GTR. It's not worth it. If I was going to spend that much I'd just get a ZR1... which is much more than barely faster than a GTR!

At 100K, the GTR is still a "worth it", just hope that doesn't happen.

ZRI laps the "ring in 7:25, it's only 1 second faster than the GTR. On a tighter roadcourse, numerous tests have shown that the GTR is faster. In pure staightling acceleration--1/4 mile, standing mile etc, yes the ZR1 is faster, but that's not the main point of the GTR to begin with.

Everyone knows NISSAN posted bogus numbers from the 'Ring. They used race slicks and all that jazz with a racing driver.

The ZR1 was all stock driven by one of the GM engineers... lol.

I think the porsche fanboi's are still throwing out conspiracy theories about that one.

(I hope you were joking, hard to tell sometimes on the interweb).

No, back when the GTR and ZR1 teams were going back and forth on lap times it was revealed that the GTR boys were running full on slicks.

true, zr1 performance over the gtr is marginal at best, or even nonexistent. even more, any decent driver can extract maximum performance from the gtr with all the technology on board. for the zr1, unless you are a touring car chamption or whatever, you will spend more time spinning around like a top than tearing up tracks and putting hot laps
