Im pretty sure the Nismo GTR would most likely smash it on a road course.
They come 600hp out the box:yum:

Not for $80,000 they don't.

And isn't that what all the GTR fanboys are always bragging about? "Yeah, your 458 Italia/Aventador/Enzo/Koenigsegg (insert any vastly superior car here) might look good but my GTR is just as fast for less than half the money...":rolleyes:

This is a Chevrolet that's actually worth owning, and it's an absolute beast. When's the last time that's happened?

I wouldn't mind picking up a Z06 engine, tranny, and electronics and dumping it into my Z.

Me personally.... I would buy this Vette over the GTR any day.
Actually.... I would never buy a GTR..... Not my cup of tea for looks.
Sorry brothers in uniform. The GTR is a family car on steroids. Way too big in my opinion.

Btw.....

If no one knows.....
This is.quite the rocket too
Edit: that 707hp is true numbers. I went to Detroit this summer to the Chrysler museum in Detroit, and a senior, i would compare this gentleman, as the Chrysler's Carol Shelby. This was prior to true numbers.and.vehicle.actually released to public. Full race adjustable suspension with that crazy hp!!
Yeah the Vette is legendary... But.if you're a power American Muscle car guy...
This Hell Cat will be worth 1,000,000 times more than that new Vette. Just like trying to buy a true 70' Hemi Challenger vs a 70' Vette.... Anyone watch Classic car auctions??? End of story

The seats for that car looks terrible... Would take a vette over that.

Cant argue with the Vette. The price/performance ratio is amazing. You are getting a super car for under 100k the GTR is the only other car i can think of that does that. But oyu cant escape 2 realities.

-Gas mileage is horrible. But I dont think you would care about that if you buy that car.

-Its american. To alot of people including myself american cars just feel "cheap" and are not as appealing.

Im pretty sure that stock for stock that vette could take out a GTR but I bet the GTR is a much better car to own, and it looks alot better (in my opinion)

Totally agreef

They already have that... the Viper :tiphat:

It gets better mileage than the 370z :icon14:

Buy a 4 wheel DD for traffic and bad weather and then a 370z for the better drives in nice weather.

What's the point of having an $80k corvette that you would not drive in rush hour traffic ( want no dents!!) or in snowy weather (want to salt or dents!).

Exactly. I don't care how big of a "deal" the car is, it is still a Chevy Corvette. Most American cars just don't spark my interest. :stirthepot:

What's the point of owning any 80 thousand$ or any expensive car? I think your missing the point.
Back to topic. This is a great looking car. I think the hard core Vette enthusiasts are disappointed with the rear look of the car,but I myself think the car as a whole,looks great. And you get some muscle to back it up! All boils down to preference.

If we are being totally unbiased here I have a soft spot for Audi's lol I think they are beautiful cars! But I dont trust german cars. But I wouldnt mind owning a sweet audi lol

The Audi is the superior looking vehicle of these two.

C7 ZO6 is hands down the dollar for dollar powerhouse sports car with the GTR at a close second place. ^^^ I might get roasted for this, but I think a nicely modded Nismo Z looks just as good as the Audi R8. My Nismo is modded, but I saw a stock black one today in GA and you really just don't realize how great these cars look on the outside of your own until you see one in which I rarely do on the streets.
