I'm sorry, but what was the GT500 doing there? They could of used that spot for a Porsche or another actual competitor.

i agree.

the GTR was the heaviest of them all, lack of traction kills.

Impressive numbers but for some reason the car as a whole just doesn't do much for me.

the Z06 is technically quicker around a track, randy just wasnt as confident with it so he didnt push the car to its full potential. in a straight line the GTR will always win until a little bit after the quarter, thats just how it goes... unless chevy wanted to put 400mm wide tires on the vette

Financial trouble due to an almost perfect storm of circumstances and screwing the end user on their warranties because of their own mistakes are two different matters entirely.

And by the by, investing in GM is one of the best things this current government has done to this point. Orly? Yes really.

Checks and tax breaks have been written to every car company at one point or another. Especially Toyota.

Of course if you use launch control 6061 can only take so much stress..
One of my best friends owns a 700 hp GTR, that car has always put 500 down to the ground, now pushing north of 700, its not seen an easy 10,000 miles...Its been trouble free for those miles it was pushed.

I wonder if it has the Nissan warranty?

Absolutely everything is 100% covered, provided you never turn it on.....

haha

sick car though, I would certainly own one in my collection if said collection were an actual reality instead of a figment of my imagination.

That just about sums up my feelings on the looks too! How can you design such a high performance car and make it look that bad?!
