I am positive a c6 z06 would rock a Skyline in every aspect.
Remember Skyline =/ New GTR

i thought nissan dropped the skyline name alltogether? even for base cars over there
OT:

The Skyline still exists for the Japanese versions of the G37:
The GTR is a totally different car from the Skyline now:

I’m pretty sure it holds its own well on a road course…

It does. But the new GTR is quicker on a track.

It is a pretty good time.
Sadly for those who hate anything import, the GTR did it in 7:35. Don’t believe me? Pick up this month’s Motor Trend.
Magazine racing at its best :tup: :bloated:
i’m sure the amount of time saved with each shift from the clutchless transmission on the GTR was enough to give it a better time then the Z06. Thats great and all, but I’d take the Z06 and have fun with the third pedal 
I know the Z06 pulls a 1.04G on the skid pad…I didn’t think the GTR was that high…
Both cars rock, but I could never own a sports car that I couldn’t shift like a normal manual.
Sherm - I Don’t really think you can call it magazine racing when both cars ran the same track. It’s at least a little more informative then just test numbers for individual characterisics of the car.

Actually, he is quite right. A C6 Z06 would RAPE any Skyline. How it would do against a GTR, no one knows since it’s not in public hands yet.
Remember that there is soon to be a C6 ZR-1 flavor too.
IMO, direct competition does nothing but give enthusiasts more and better choices. :tup:

Being that the Ring times are the ONLY POSSIBLE direct comparison betweens the cars right now, I’m unsure of what you’d prefer.

Thats what i would like to know… Other than my jealousy of them getting paid decent money to turn a screw for 8 hours. I really can’t say that I have much respect for GM line workers as far as their recent disputes.

Different drivers
Different weather
I still fail to see how this is a direct comparison between cars…
Bloody hell that guy can drive :tup:. NICE!

Because obviously, each car only did one lap. And Chevy and Nissan only chose wet track times to release.
Offer me a better comparison.
the people on here gut the shit out of there cars to remove weight and u guy are arguing about interiors. which btw gm has come a long way the last couple years with there interiors. but thats some amazing 1/4 mile times for a stock sub 100grand car
z06 is siqq…
Too bad the interior is so shitty. A step up from the c5, but still shitty.
My theory is, if they didnt take the time to make the part you see nice… I am sure they didnt stop there.

I’m sure the cars you own put the Z06 to shame right? Your theory is wrong!
