I think i've lost iq points by reading some of these comments.
I’d still take the vette over the gtr
both, for me
I wouldn't
Me to That’s why I own one LOL and not because of price that wasn’t a problem
@@User77989 good thing i'm planning on getting a Z06 vette
The running cost difference between the two cars is absurdly huge, GTR is pretty much a money pit
Hmmm, havent driven a corvette yet... i would love to drive one someday....
I own a c6 z06 and have driven everything including Gtr’s and I can tell you nothing compares to the Z06. It is raw and amazing
@@number36420 I'm looking to pick up a zo6, Shortly. My father campaigned a 'vette in the 60's and I did in the 90's. My sin is just getting old enough to appreciate track days.
C5 Z06 Owner here. I don't have that wild LS7 but the C5 is a little slippier and a little lighter and an even more raw experience. Great car. Truly nothing comes close for the $$$. But if you care about interior you might want to look elsewhere lol. A vette is a drivers car and nothing more.
I have a 2016 challenger rt with dual black stripes and straight pipe love the sound and looks but I want a 2012-14 gt500 or a c8 corvette next or gtr (to expensive) so bad
I'm seeing a lot of ignorant comments on this video... I whole lot of them... It's sad you guys can't appreciate all three of these cars, because you think the car you like the most defines you in some way, and if anyone insults it? They're insulting you... A real petrol head will give merit to all these cars. I'm not the biggest fan of the GT-R, and I hate its fanbase as much as Adolf Hitler hated the Jews. But I'm not going to try and take away its iconic legacy it's made for itself. Same goes for the Z06, and GT500! It's okay to have preference! One man likes ass, another likes titties. Some like Chips Ahoy, some like Oreos. But at the end of the damned day, they all get the job *DONE* in the same way! So take your ignorant fanboy comments, and do a self prostate exam with them!
I speak for every *REAL* car enthusiast world wide! Because trust me! They're all thinking the same thing too! Either appreciate great cars! Or shut the fuck up, and get the *FUCK* out!
well said brother.
ahaha
lol
XD wtf, that was funny man
First who prefers ass more than titties?
Ahhh why are you on rage mode? I´ll give you an advice alright.
All of these stupid and negative comments are from teenagers who probably don´t have hair!
Calm down, take it easy and ignore it.
I know what you´re talking about but remember me and you´ll get less grey hair.
Grtx
Love the C6 Z06. Didn't know you can get those wheels and break package with it. Lotto dreams.
wow man you are so right. thank you for making me come to my senses by informing me that "all" GT-R's are faster than "any" Corvette. can't believe i would have ever actually taken into account lap times, quarter mile times and full on specifications of each car. thank you sarkisov1956, your a very intelligent friend.
If the GTR was the fastest car in the world and beat everything else (IRL, that's not unrealistic lol) people would still find numerous reasons to hate it and defend their favorite loser car. It always happens every time a GTR races something. Why is it that hard to just accept that Nissan put a lot of effort into the GTR and made an engineering marvel?
I understand, we all have our favorite cars. The mustang and corvette aren't bad cars, and I also like them along with the GTR. However, making lame excuses like "The mustang is still is cooler" isn't helping your argument and just makes you sound ignorant.
Oh, and by the way for my fellow Americans, just because a car is domestically made does NOT make you patriotic or a better person because you drive/love it. Imports aren't evil, and I have personally seen astonishingly better quality out of them.
yeah. what he said. lol
I don't knock the gtrs. they are technologically amazing, mechanically amazing, and doesn't look that bad. but this is a quarter race. yea, it'll win. nissan somehow made that car amazing at launch, but a half or mile race and the muscle is the dominant species.
why so much hatred for gtr to me is best small but mighty that is why they call it godzilla
The zr1 is better in every way
𝙰𝚆𝙳 and dual clutch. Ofcourse it will win.
The mustang shouldn't be with these two. The Ford GT should be here. Cuz that's the super car of ford. The corvette is chevy's super car and the GTR is just another animal
You sir, are correct.
in 2011 there was no ford gt, also it's overpriced
+Devin Adams can't really say that when it supposedly has more hp than both of them
+iwrestlecamels yes you can, they where obviously trying to stay under 6 figures in this test is what I'm saying therefore the Ford Gt is far to expensive.
+iwrestlecamels and like I said there was no 2011 ford gt.....
Some times you dont need muscles to win. There is another body part which we called a brain. Gtr engineers used that body part to built the car.
The best answer i ever read so far!.
I'm I mustang lover & I love all American cars in general but this guy answer is simply right.
You didn’t use that body part to write your last sentence.
Well with all due respect, the GTR is engineered to do exactly what it's doing. The problem is that loses all of its gusto at a quarter mile. A half-mile the Corvette smokes it. The other problem is the GTR doesn't handle as well to a trained driver because the four-wheel-drive makes it understeer heavily. The Corvette is just a better car. The only thing the GTR excels in is right here in this exact video. Anything else involving cornering or more than 1/4 Mile trap speed, forget it. My biggest issue with the GTR though is the fact that it's completely unreliable. They built everything off of a V6 that already has reliability issues and they're trying to get even more horsepower out of in the GTR. That's why despite their not being that many of them out there, there's endless videos on RUclips of people blowing engines in them.
Sushi kicks the shit out of the Big Mac and the Big Whopper!
Yah the Shelby is 55 grand.The vette 98 grand.The gtr 90 grand.Basically the gtr and vette is double the price.How about putting my 10 super snake against the the vette and GTR.Why because were basically the same price.But honestly my 900hp super snake would smoke them both.I even raced my neighbors Lamborghini with my 08 850hp GT500 and my 10 900hp super snake and I killed him with both car's.
@@anthonylaudano9751 lmao even the the comaro is now faster than the mustang and plus a zr1 would smoke a gtr
@@pablo_farted5234 my super snake is over 900hp.I smoke a lot of car's on the road including cameros and GTRs.What you drive.
@@anthonylaudano9751 you’re mom
@@pablo_farted5234 No my super snakes
Waiting for all of the butthurts to complain about the GT-R having AWD.
*****
That`s a good signal, they finally acepted that they suck
Yep
It would be a disappointment for the Stang, but for almost 1/2 the price you gotta respect it. And from a freeway entrance ramp roll, I bet it would stay right on top of the other two.
Probably not. And it’s not half price
Gt500 needs driver mod!
still wouldnt win
Freakin could write a book between those shifts
2 cars double the price of the gt500.How about making it fair and lining my supersnake next to the GTR VETTE
How about linings your Super snake against a ZR1 Corvette
@@gaddyify I know my 900hp SS would spank a ZR1.Back in 09 my 07 super snake beat the ZR1.The ZR1 ran 11.00 at 130mph and my super snake ran 10.87 at 135mph.The time is close but trap speed is 5mph.That is a big speed difference.
I do think give a fuck if the GT-R is faster I'll still take the Mustang any day
Ford Crown Victoria : because it breakdown every 400 miles and they have to rebuild transmission every 20000 miles. I used to drive at least 12 Crown Victoria as a taxi. Now I drive Toyota Camry Hybrid 2009 and I 355000 miles and only one water pump break down my friend, that's the difference.
Virak Thong Why in the fuck would anybody drive a Hybrid?
Because it saves me money
Yes I was modified at the time with full exhaust and No tune. I later found out I was 30hp higher than stock-I'm sure it helped a little bit. The roll race was much closer for sure. From a dig I would've won either way. The ZR1 and z06 undoubtedly fast but very inconsistent at both drag and road course (from what I've seen).
Inconsistent on the road course IF you don't know how to drive it
Can't wait for the R36 GTR. 600hp, 250+ pounds lighter, 0-60 in probably 2.3-2.5 seconds. Top speed probably 220mph.
I doubt they will reduce weight.
the weight comes from over 600lbs of computer hardware
Sanic Different engine components
Ben Bunker reducing weight on an engine is like a 10ish lb difference.
The GTR simply has too many computers
***** that V6 is around 470lbs
even removing the engine completely.
would not make the GTR light enough.
they could take off like 10-20lbs at most from the engine.
Sanic
No serious look it up
lol GTR all wheel drive and have eleltronic lauch control...
every car uses electronics
+RNG Nas not electronic launch control*
Ronard Karimian Bruh just admit the gtr has one of the best launches off the line (Stock)
+RNG Nas u are right. The GTR does have one of the best launches, without a doubt, but what I'm saying is that its competitors in this video don't...
Ronard The Rifle
If they are manual then they do have launching abilities.
You rev & dump the clutch.
But the GTR is more sophisticated in this area, alot more.
why did they get the mustang in there? it just stood there and wet itself..
I can't believe you haven't watched the World's greatest drag race 2. It's one of the most watched car videos now.
What's that GTR cheaper than the Z06? But still wins Superior engineering bitches
It loses to the ZR1
Not in drag Ernesto
Ben Bunker Lol I love the ZR1 but if I ever see one beat a GTR with all wheel drive and automatic in a drag plz show me that vid.
A faster 0-60 times isn't what makes a good car bro.
all this vette and ford fanboys feeling pissed off listing it's specs, just admit that the gtr is faster its already shown in the video?!? wankers
in america i find AWD cheating
Smith Freeman America got its payback on Japan by crushing Nissan skylines😭😪😭😭😭
Michael Takaichi link & proof
Corvettes are very slow in the 1/4 mile. Corvette owners always put drag radials and a bunch of other mods on them and then try to claim that they're stock, LMFAO.
+Sal Amander That's very inaccurate, look at the same race from a roll.
Look at the GTR Nismo vs Corvette ZR1 on the long straight at the Nurburgring. The GTR NISMO easily out accelerated the ZR1 from a roll at the Nurburgring and achieved a much higher speed before braking.
+Sal Amander that's mostly due to the fact that it's an awd car and probably carried more speed through the turn in the first place
@@salamander5318
The Nurburgring lap for the GT-R is with a modified car.
@@physetermacrocephalus9986 WRONG, The N ATTACK PACKAGE IS A DEALER INSTALLED OPTION THAT YOU CAN CHECK MARK WHEN PURCHASING A NISMO GTR IN JAPAN. 100% STOCK GTR NISMO N ATTACK SET THAT TIME. EPIC FAIL FOR YOU.
Volkswagen Auto Group never complained, they just made faster track cars. GM could never make a C6 Generation Corvette that could compete with the R35 Generation GTR so they made up LIES AND EXCUSES.
The 2013-2014 supersnakes have a Kenne Bell twin screw supercharger and puts down 750 horsepower at the wheels, which is right around 850 at the flywheel.
Power like that is good for 135-145 mph in the quarter mile, capable of low 10's and possibly 9's, but all of these numbers depend on curb weight and traction.
And stock 2013-2014 GT500's trap faster than C6 Z06's in the quarter mile, as you just saw here, Z06 traps 123 mph in 11.8 seconds, GT500 goes 11.6's at 126 with major traction issues
I could care less if you put a Mustang with 550 hp against a 530 hp GTR and 505 hp Vette because the GTR and Vette are obviously going to have the upper hand. I knew from the beginning that the GTR was going to win and the Vette coming in second because they are drag cars, not saying the Shelby isn't but it's not really at home on a drag strip. Now putting it on a track against these cars would be a whole different story; just saying. I love Chevy but I knew the GTR was going to beat the Vette because the GTR is AWD and the acceleration in that car was made for drag racing.
Gtr is not a drag car. It's power and drivetrain setup is for exiting corners. It just so happens that nissan put the launch control system in it to beat Porsches 09 0-60 time and it turned out to be a great 1/4 mile car at the same time. Good job nissan!
IEATPLANETS YESIDO I realize what I said and how it sounded lol, but I meant that the GTR has the upperhand due to it being AWD. That helps the car get up and go, unlike the Vette which is only RWD. Yes they are sport cars and not drag cars, sorry for the confusion with my wording lol you're right
Mustang on a track? Hahahahaha
The GT500s are most definitely drag cars.
@@MattHookem they are traction limited from the factory. Mm&ff ran 11.5 at 118-119 stock on drag radials in one of these pre trinity cars. They're certainly not slow.
In the real world:
1st the Vette
2nd the Mustang
3rd my hotwheels toy car
4th my lacrosse ball
5th the GTR
Thats fucking funny !! Lol
6th. Ur father's Hyundai Getz. That's probably the reality!
that was very funny i forgot to laugh
Probably in your world
Thats your imagination you just roast nissan they put alot of effort and making theyre car and so are alot of others you shiuld never underestimate godzilla into thinking your stupid toy car into being faster then it even my dad's family suv is faster then a stupid toy
That gtr ain't no joke
According to Porsche, the GT2RS's 7:18 lap time was a claim by them as a synthesized lap time. The ran around the Nurburgring a few times, taking the fastest times through different sections of the track and then adding them together, instead of just lapping the whole thing at once in one shot. I still think it's B.S., seeing how the Porsche GT2RS has fallen behind the ZR1 and even the Z06 at Laguna Seca.
Ask the GTR how well it did against the ZR1 ? they're are a bunch of videos on RUclips where ZR1 smoke GTRs or the C7 Z06
Paul Williams The GTR beats the ZR1 in 0-60, 0-100, 0-150 and is faster around most tracks, including the nurburgring. As for the z06, the GTR is still faster in a straight line and beats the z07 on the redbull ring by more than 4 seconds.
Nice Try stop spreading lie really stop
Nice Try there are tons of videos where corvettes shit all over GTRs
Paul Williams There's millions of videos of gtrs shitting on slow vettes. The GTR eats the zr1 in quartermile and around the nurburgring plus countless tracks.
My facts> your opinions/ delusions
Nice Try nevermind, wht he look is zr1 moded, lets find out ams alpha vs moded zr1? who win. Gtr always the best
I love the Nissan GT-R!
It is my favorite car on the planet!!!
same
Same
lets take another look and see why ?
its japanese !! and its much more refined!
And then man 2014 came and every other car kicked it's ass....new camaro z/28 beat it and a Porsche 911 s...and yes it was the track edition that fell to the grasp of us
Jonathan Kassebaum. Really? Link me to the vid
Its awd, that is all. If given the choice I'd still pick the Z06.
dknight xs motor trend channel check it out
Sadly this is no longer true though, the corvette and the mustang are still under 6 figures but the Nissan GTR is now 6 figures
That was an expected outcome .. :-)
LOL No it wasnt.
GTR beat all american muscle cars !!
Of course
Yea
you have yet to see a ford gt...
+gone2secondzin123 win against a gtr
gaytr
ZR1 would rip the little gtr ricer.
The GT-R isn't a ricer for god's sake.
@tunedlegacy HD
Yes. ^ brad cool is right. Gtr fanboys think that nothing can catch a gtr. You can see the Z06 pulling on the gtr toward the end of the 1/4 mile. Its too short to do a thorough test. Standing mile would see the Z06 come in 1st and the ricer weeping.
chinzong Although I have personally been a huge fan of the Nissan. I have to give it to Chevrolet for making an amazing machine. Now, let's all get this straight. The GT-R isn't rice. Rice is any car that has modifications that make it LOOK fast, but truly isn't.
And there goes a kid who doesn't know about cars
You can tell the guy who dropped this comment is around 10 years old.
It's amazing how they compare a 50 thousand dollar car too 2 90thousand dollar cars.Lets compare my supersnake in a drag race and guess what it's game over the supersnake wins period.
Lol, GTR needs AWD and twin turbos to just barely beat an old ass pushrod v8..silly Imports, the only way to make your shitboxes fast is to put an LSX in them
Yeaaaaahh no mate. The GT-R is engineering masterpiece that shows you don't need more cylinders to make one of fastest affordable cars in the world.
No replacement for displacement ricer. its basic physics. Thats why people swap LSXs into Skylines and Supras.
Muscle boy mad lmao. When you going to understand that Japanese make better cars and most faster. With less cylinders lol
Thats why pretty much every import has been LSX swapped at least once? if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. LSX > VR38
god damn GT-R's are so fast
It has launch control and is easier to drive than the mustang and the Corvette.
Isaac Morales The ONLY reason the GT-R is 0.2 seconds quicker than the ZO6 in the 0-60 time is due to the all wheel drive of the Nissan. If they run 0-100 the ZO6 would tear the Nissan a new ass!
Partisan1313 yeah. I'd rather have a Mustang and Corvette which is a pure drivers car.
I'd take the snake over all
Matt this is the 3rd times you promoting your (snacks). wahahaha
Mohd Azrin95 well youtube has a problem that makes people comment 3 times occasionally so sorry about that. what cars do you like?
The GT starts at $30,900. So 420 hp V8 with significantly more potential vs 332 hp and similar mpg for 1K more. Well worth the price difference. Everyone else thinks so as well which is why there are so many mustangs on the road.
Mustang is the best value out of them. The vette is the worst. You can never go wrong with a gtr
i've owned a couple nissans back in the day 1986 nissan 300zx and a 92 nissan maxima. all i faced was a bunch of electrical issues. my old folks owned a infinti j30 about a decade back. same thing happen is electrical problems. im through with nissan. i now drive a lexus es and a honda crotchrocket for spring/summer fun.
another mustang pussy that will nevr feel the power of a real muscle car
why put the mustang in when it is half the price

vette was catching the GTR
skip to 3:15
No doubt GTR is the best! It was even tuned. I would like to see the race if it was tuned with AMS Alpha 12 at least!
GT-R's are arguably one of the best "drag race" production cars. They're All wheel drive, they have 2 drive trains so there is no pausing for shifting, and they are relatively light weight. the only thing that sucks about the GT-R is it's top end speed acceleration is a lot lower than other cars.
I feel bad for american cars guess I gotta stick with imports
Yeah, poor American cars with their large supercharged V8s. They lost to a car with a displacement of 3.8L;) Sure, it's TT but who cares!
Ray Cain Americans are supercharged to... the Gt500, ZR1 etc etc
Feel bad? You drive a Mitsu. I feel bad for you. You my friend, should not be judging cars.
xmaltradiofreak Evo's are ok... They got a nice little engine, they are fast and can go arround corners... I'm not a hater, but I dont know why people love so much Mustangs and Camaros (well, the '69 Mustang is such a good looking classic)... I mean, they are heavy, fat, "slow" they can't turn, aerodynamics: error 404 - not found, the only good thing about them (my opinion) is the sound... and you can get the same sound on a v8 british car or on a mercedes (any) 6.3l AMG for exemple...
Sergio Pinto fuck that american dodge chevy are the best
SHITTTY ASS MUSTANGS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
you cant put a shelby gt500 against a z06 and a gtr the shelby has 550 hp the z06 has over 600 and the gtr may have less at 480 but operates at way higher rpms making it faster off the line and faster to hit top speed the z06 also operating at higher rpms as the shelby plus you put a camoaro against a shelby the camaro looses almost every time so mustangs not shitty just in an unfair race
dakota ruley the z06 has 505, less than the shelby.
Dude the Shelby costs half of what the others do. Plus if they were to do the same thing but with the 2014 it would be a different story, they have 662hp and still only cost 55k. They post mid 11 sec 1/4s, low 11s on DRs.
Oh and btw "Camaro495" I dont see any Camaros hanging with the big boys. They couldnt even if the ignition worked *burn*
Nissan always the best
BHP is the power measured at the crank (these are the numbers you see given by the manufacturer). WHP is obviously the power measured at the wheels.
Poor american cars
Mustangs have always been turds
Well, when you put it up against two very different cars, yes. The Vette is way lighter than Mustang and the GTR is AWD, automatic, and has launch control. This is common sense.
Love how they took three completely different kind of cars and put them together in a drag race. Great for entertainment, just read the comments.
It's really not bad how the rwd manual 505hp vette put up a good race to the awd 530hp gtr, both are great cars👍
yeah, not a fanboy for any of those cars. it's just nice to see price be something not to have to take into account.
It's not even my all-time favorite car (As you can see in my display picture) but I have immense of respect towards that car for how far it has come along, performance-wise, in all these past years..
Maybe, but a better start from launch control (which Corvette now have in some models) along with paddle shifters would make it a more balanced affair.
Have 2011 gt500... Lots of fun and that wine never gets old
Gonna sound like a typical GTR hater but the early models are notorious for blowing their insanely expensive transmissions when using launch control and Nissan WILL NOT cover it even when they were new... That vette (and maybe the mustang) could make those passes over and over again and not break a sweat.
Yup. A friend has a 2009 GT-R and it's already grenaded two trans/diffs. He's spent over 20k on work, and the car is still barely driven.
I agree 100%. The best ET is all about the first 60ft. RWD and a lot of power will never hook well on a street radial compared to a drag radial.
Bone stock 2008 Corvette z06 with Drag Radials 11.02 @ 127.49
Anyone that can afford any of these cars can afford drag radials.
They needed to offer the 6L90 6 speed auto as an option in the ZO6 & ZR1 and all of the 1/4 mile times would drop. Much softer launch.
That's exactly my point. But he seemingly wants to put the GT-R on a pedestal, no matter what.. Just because he supposedly owns one, doesn't mean it's the better car, performance-wise.. There is a reason why so many car enthusiasts rather get a Corvette over a GT-R. It's the reason why Corvettes are sold over 8 times more than the GT-R. Even in Canada, where obviously an AWD car would be fitting best for the snowy roads up there, Corvettes were sold over 4 times more than the GT-Rs.
A V6 with 2 turbos, AWD, LC and Semi-Auto. That race was won at the beginning because the ZO6 was coming.
If you don’t have 6 figures? Well here buy this car for 99k
Her's has 118k miles on it, we got it with 101k and I can't wait to get rid of the thing. I guess they didn't build it to go over 100k miles. Oh, you get to remove the intake to get at the spark plugs btw. Not the cover, not some plastic shell, the upper half of the intake. My silverado still gets better power, fuel economy, reliabilty, and pretty much everything else over that pile
'o'crap.
you need to read my reply again, i said nothing about drag race 1/4 half or 1 mile... gt-r will not keep up in the curves. the z06 is designed for a track not drag strips. the only advantage the gt-r had was awd out of the hole and the zo6 held on after that. if you want to go in a strait line/ tow a boat and room for the whole family? a twin turbo escalade is faster and cheaper than a gt-r
I think research needs to be done on your end. I have been involved in club racing with my GTR for nearly two years now and have met many several owners/drivers throughout my interaction with them. Almost none of us use the run-flats due to their hard sidewalls and hard compounds. The difference between run-flats and the preferred Toyo R888 tire has been close to 3 seconds at Fontana (High Speed Track) Same day, same car, same driver for comparisons sake.
I somewhat agree I think if all 3 cars came with a manual transmission and launch control was turned off and say all 3 cars had to launch at 4500rpms. I think it would be a very close race and I think the Z06 would win with power/weight distribution but the MustangShelby would probably be a very very close second.
I think it would be nice to see the drag race instead of 3 or 4 camera angles and about 6 seconds of the race. The slow-mo on the launch was neat though. It was cool to see the tires of the vette and mustang sort of cog when each cylinder fires.. that was very interesting since you’d never see that in real time.
Yes, in a 1/4 mile race. No argument from me there. But, since the Cobra Jet isn't street legal, the two really aren't comparable.
drivers in the Corvette and the GT500 aren't powershifting those cars right.
There is no denying corvette styling
Yes you have a good point. All the manufacturers are looking at getting a head start, but for this video its obvious the awd launch control of the Nissan gtr is an advantage.Just .6 of a second and the corvette will be the same as the gtr. Also a bit longer and the Z06 will outrun the gtr.
A GTR is is actually heavier, they're about the same size, 20 less horsepower, about 60 lb/ft of tq, and has a back seat and yes, it does have all wheel drive. If you didn't know, it's pretty hard to shave just over a second off. A second in a quater mile IS winning by a mile.
Did anyone care to notice that the mustang was half the price compared to the other two.
That is exactly what makes the ZR1 a MOST rewarding driving experience, to know that YOU yourself are actually the one in control of your vehicle, and not some fancy computer controlling it for you. It is the reason why the fun factor of driving a ZR1 is just beyond what the Nissan GT-R has to offer. If you are a silly driver and want to feel fast and better about yourself as a driver, get a Nissan GT-R. Just saying :)
I think what people aren’t seeing here is that it took an twin clutch automatic and awd to beat a vette by .3 of a second
GTRs don't destroy anything. I just posted a video of a 2008 ZO6 pulling hard on a 2014 GTR. There aren't enough GTRs on the road to be concerned about.
I would swear I saw a floor mat package for $1,000 as an option. The premium Interior package is around $4k.
The GT500 may have lost the race but it definitely won the rev battle
Laguna Seca, all driven by Randy Pobst:
1:36.35 2012 GTR
1:34.43 Z06 (Z07)
1:33.70 ZR1
133:62 SRT TA
The Vettes Top Gear ran are old models. GTR is amazing but doesn't hold up around a track to these cars.
I don't know about you but I'd rather see Mustang fans than GT-R trolls in here any day of the week.
Gtr is a serious track car, vette is a fun track car, and the gt500 is just a fun every day road car.
All three are great cars and achieve what they set out to do.
You mean the 2012 Z06 with 505 HP weighting 3200 lbs and ZRI with 638 HP and weighting 3200 lbs beat the 2011 GTR with 485HP weighting 3800 lbs? Really? If you are going to compare vehicles at least be somewhat impartial. The 2012 has 545 HP, it's a different beast than the 2011. I'm not saying the Corvettes are bad, but the ZR1 is $15,000 more than the GTR. Do you realize what I can do for $15,000? Plus have fun driving the Corvette in the winter.
The GTR is awesome. No one should EVER deny that. But what I will say is that every car showed it's value here pretty well. the cheapest was in last, the optioned out ZO6 was second, and the second most expensive came first. Shocker? Not really. The gtr is the KING OF LAUNCHES!! Even the old ones launch themselves right off a track if there's a turn up ahead because the acceleration is disorienting.
It was actually signed off as stock by a track official.... Hence why it's under Bone stock on the fast list. He did check everything. Not only did the track official confirm it was stock but other people have confirmed so. A track official does count. it's a test. He just took his bone stock Stock tire Z06 there and ran that. If you say the Z06 was on drag radials or slicks there's a bone stock Z06 with street radials running 10.7 @ 131 mph.The old SRT10 viper ran 10.92 @ 130 mph.A tad quicker.
The GTR with all wheel drive is the ringer in this bunch. It has that advantage and more HP than the Vette...granted more weight. A rolling start would surely show different results. Wonder why they pit the highest HP cars in the Nissan and Ford lines and leave out the ZR1?
no just no a zr1 stock for stock beats a GTR everytime, but as you start to mod both the AWD pulls ahead by a little bit
You said it yourself, DORK! The cars were faster when Randy Pobst was behind the wheel of BOTH cars. On the 2012 Z06 vs 2013 GT-R, it wasn't Randy Pobts behind the wheel of any of those, hence why he slower times for BOTH cars, although the Z06 STILL managed to get the FASTER lap time, and they said it themselves in the review that the Z06 still had more to be extracted from it, but the GT-R is said to be able to be driven by anyone, and this 2013 GT-R just showed it's nothing special :D
The mustang is still hanging in there and it is like at least 35,000 less expensive. Ford is making some giant strides in engineering, especially with their new Eco-boost engines. Wouldn't be surprised to see a mustang in the next 6-7 years surpass these expensive cars soon in overall speed and handling.
Your correct the people that have ran into 10s on stock Z were using drag ratios but 93 octane. It's really no use to put higher octane if your not on boost or anything else. But there have been a lot that ran into low 11 s on street tires. I was only trying to say that a Z can go faster than that driven better.
We have some decent examples(Saleen S7 TT,Hennessey Venom Gt,Ford GT 40, and SSC Ultimate Aero TT), but otherwise,yeah.
The Z06 lost by about a car length lol. A Zr1 has over a hundred more horsepower. It would kill the GTR as I said.
HAHAHAHA...I SMELL THE SMOKE COME OUT OF YOUR MARIJUANA TOBACCO...PLEASE, STOP...I CAN'T BREATH...HA...
Couldn't agree more, and listen to that sound in the beginning! You couldn't even hear that GTR
That comparison and track time was done with the Boss 302 not the mustang GT. Also if you didnt know a faster time does not mean better in the turns because it can just pull on the straights. The 370z out handles the GT FACT.
The gtr is awesome because its a v6 with more power than almost all the v8s
yah and automatic
No it doesn't. Last King of the Street final was the T1 GTR vs The LMR Corvette. What won? The Corvette.
I'm looking at laps on the Nurburgring, where the ZL1 put up a time right with the Ford GT, and the Ford GT500 never posted a time for some reason, Laguna Seca, Willow Springs, and VIR.
What people claim to do on their little road racing days is irrelevant, because driver skill plays a role in private racing, where as the reviews have a pro driver in both cars, so you have a balanced and fair comparison.
Having to mod the car so it can run 5 laps on a road course is the the issue.
Unacceptable.
can't beat that GTR launch.
