Iv seen them run races on that track in the wet! On average the Z06 vs the gtr is gonna depend on the z driver hands down. More than lickly the gtr will win just to the fact that anyone can drive it fast and doesnt take as much skill as the Z. But....183mph in the mile def is not stock! Most of your stock ZR1's run low 180's and that def isnt a stock mile time for a gtr. Just my 2 cents..

sorry park the 3 next to each other and see which car people admire the most. i've witnessed it at the last cars and cofee event here.
the z06 looks great as well but the true ugly ducking is the gt-r(looks like 3 other vehicles all mashed up together)

I agree black hides the lines of an ugly car. But it's still ugly.

I'd go with the GTR because any in-town driving the GTR will smoke check alot of cars out there. Who really races that damn long?

I saw some videos too of them racing in wet raining cats and dogs and yeah both those cars are modded, I thought you guys realized that.

Not really, cause that would add weight and more drive train loss.

might want to tell that to the folks at AMS. The alpha 12 is a MONSTER.. Has beaten the UG TT 1500awhp gallardo as well.
