M/T didn't want an American car to win the race.

The gtr is a beast i own a 2010 and its very fast off the line
But the transmission is noisy
uncomfortable seats
and gets boring driving the paddles
Thats why im looking to get a ZL1 SIX SPEED MANUAL.

I wouldnt be so quick to say the camaro can't compete with the GTR

people don't get it. AWD cars are more practical you don't need to put slicks and skinies to go make a 11 second pas, AWD cars are fast with their stock tiers, thus are more appropiate to run fast where ever you are and not have to worry about traction. thats the advantage

Serious doubt it! GT-R is a supercar! It not only goes fast straight but can make turns too. Its AWD. No rear wheel car can match an AWD in turns. Just not possible and the turns are where the rubber meets the road in racing or where the race is won or lost is in the turns.

LOL tell that to the Z06/ZR1, which beat it at the track. Still, a stock ZL1 vs. a GTR is silly, the GTR is a supercar and performs as such. Still rather the the Camaro or the 'Vette.

I believe the ZL1 will be a supercar, by all measures.....but that AWD is the problem it cannot overcome. All things equal (or close), AWD generally always has the advantage.

Depends on how many times you launch a stock GT-R
