The first test of the Z/28 in the same hands turned out low 12's at around 114mph. I'd hope it can do better than that but it will still come no where near the GT-R.

You mean faster in the 1/4. We don't know the track time for the Z/28 yet, or do we have a comparison of the Z/28 vs the Skyline on a real racetrack?

Pretty sure when most people ask which is faster that they don't mean on a road course.

Well if most people buy GTRs and Corvettes for drag racing they are not using these expensive cars for there intended purpose.

I just can't believe how much the Z/28 is. $75K!!!! Woof!

So the article is about a match against the GTR and the Z28 - but the GTR didn't complete the competition due to a wheel stud issue?

Useless. The article ends with butt dyno bench racing conclusions. Everyone knows the GTR is quicker in a straight line by tests on both cars. If the point was to see who is faster around a track course, then this effort was nothing more than a tease.

[Cody6.2]

Pretty sure they have both done laps at the same venue already though?

Yup. It sounds like it's worth it though, at least until the new Corvette Z06 comes out.

That article was bad, but the comments below it make it look like a damn work of art.

Send this quote straight to Callaway and they will tell you otherwise.

Come on!! Who in their right mind has 2 broken lug nuts on a GTR going to the track to go up against a Z28??

I'm calling BS on this story!!

I would still take a GT-R over ANY car all day every day.

Hopefully in a couple years I'll be in the market for one.

Something was clearly wrong with that GT-R, otherwise a Z51 C7 is faster then a ZR1 and a Z07 Z06, which we all know that is not the case. Don't wanna be a Debby downer, but a C7 besting a GTR around a track or at the strip is definitely not the norm, and if anyone thinks the two cars are on an even performance metric is just fooling themselves. I do appreciate the link. Just for reference, the GT-R has run a 1:19 on that particular track configuration.

I think they referenced a problem with the GTR and mentioned it should be good in any weather condition for its price.
