But they’re never going to head-to-head the GTR and ZR1… only the Z06 because that’s it’s price / performance competitor. I’m sure someone will compare the Spec-V vs. ZR1, but that’s a ways off still.

Only Top Gear is crazy enough to compare cars outside of their class.

I believe the quote from the Stig is (not that he actually talks ON the show, but in the magazine) that he can _“beat ANY car around a track with the GTR.”_ That’s why they compared it to _Ferrari F430 Scuderia_;

But here are some quotes from their host;

_“The GT-R hasn’t just moved the goalposts, it’s obliterated them. For all-round ability, I have no doubt the Nissan is the best car I have ever driven.”_

 

“The GTR turns in beautifully, whether neutral or under brakes, and grips forever. Slippery surfaces seem to bring out the best in it. Time after time I left Turner in the 911 Turbo behind as my four-wheel-drive system and traction control worked better out of wet corners. It wasn’t just the fact that I could get on the power earlier. It was about confidence.”

The Nissan really is something special, and you get the impression that while a master driver could wring every last ounce of performance out of the 911, your mother could do the same in the GT-R."

_“Does the Nissan’s ability reduce the driving pleasure? Not at all. You can turn all the systems off if you so choose, and it’s still supremely well balanced, no doubt a delight for a racing driver on a track.”_
