I keep rereading this and trying to find the typos that would allow this to make sense.............. I can't.

I must be crazy. What is your Shrinks name?
I want to avoid them as they clearly aren't working for you

This post is written so poorly my IQ just dropped and I did not have much to start with.

I wonder why they never do these test vs the known faster automatic
Even with the new Z06 they put the baddest Nismo GTR up against the second best Z06 SMH

Too funny

So let's bring this thread to today with my experience. I had the means to purchase a Black edition GT-R or a ZL1. The GT-R was $115k and the ZL1 was $48k. I chose the "LET ME DRIVE" and better "FUN FACTOR" option and got the ZL1 with 6 speed manual not because it was WAY CHEAPER but just because it had more of what I wanted in a daily driver.

You probably did not notice this, but the guy you replied to posted that nearly 7 years ago & this thread had been inactive for close 4 years.
