It may blow by with less power but, that power is aided by an advanced AWD system and a $35,000 dual clutch transmission. The $44,000 premium for a GTR ALLOWS for this technology.
If the GTR was a manual and RWD, there would be no advantage.. in other words there's a reason for the premium. It's a bias statement based on the fact these cars are not price or technologically competitive.
The GTR is an Amazing machine, but the camaro is built on a totally different driving philosophy. Tech as opposed to muscle.

Congrats on the new ride, it looks awesome.

I'm sure it pulls like crazy. I sold my 370Z and bought a new C7.

Even the GT-R priced at 100k its still relatively "cheap" compared to other super sports car, I think the only vehicles that can outrun a GT-R is a Buggati Vyron, Lambo Aventador and a Mclaren. Which these cars cost way over $200k.

Nice but I would have waited till I had a few more $ and when I could get c7 Vette, but that's me

Z-Girl 12 · 09-14-2014, 07:46 PM

Is this faster than the hellcat? I can't imagine all th at power, I'd end up in jail or dead. I think the Z will keep me from getting locked up!

Horsepower wise no. The hellcat has more. Almost bought a c7 before buying this car, but the c7 is a TIGHT fit if you are over 5'10.

Looks really nice! Congrats on your purchase. I know it's a bit more, but did you consider holding out for the Z/28, that is a track beast in stock form.

Yeah I wanted something more daily drivable.

Nice ride...you got what you wanted and that's all that matters...personally, I was thinking about doing the same with my Z but looking for a M3 instead...I see too many Camaro's on the road as is...

First I must say congrats on our new car. Always fun to drive something new. And it looks mean.

BUT on the road they all look alike.

I don't know about that. I get more thumbs up and people staring than I ever did in any other car. I've seen other camaros around and people don't stare at the SS like they do my ZL1.

Sure they look SIMILAR, They are all part of the same Camaro line, but do you really think that this SS:

Looks EXACTLY like this ZL1?:

Gadgetech · 09-15-2014, 10:07 PM

One listen to a ZL1 and it's obviously not an SS.
