Considering the GT-R is much more in the league of the Z06 then the ZR1, I’m impressed. Imagine an upgraded NISMO model or a V-Spec model. That’ll be your ZR1 competition.

zr1 numbers at the ring were significantly better than the gt-r. The V-Spec model will be better equipped to take on the ZR-1, but the base gt-r being sold right now in the US just isn’t as fast as the ZR-1.

Porsche is just mad that the GTR is beating the 997TT in almost every race thus far, and by a wide margin.

ultradriver: in a straight line.

Of course, the ACR Viper is butt-raping all three of those cars 😛

The 997TT is a fat pig luxury touring machine with a decent bit of power. You should be comparing the 997 GT3 to the GTR, not the TT.

Also the ACR is a load of bullshit using r-comps and lightening, so I wouldn’t consider that in the same league.

It comes that way from the factory :headbang:

GTR :tdown:

Maybe the GTR should have come with better tires from the factory??? and less weight??? and whatever else it takes to not get spanked by a shitty GM with shitty interior and shitty resale…

Doesn’t matter it’s still stupid. There’s a huge grip difference between sporty street tires and r-comps.

Add two more doors and it can compete with the CTS-V for fastest sedan around the Ring.

…it’ll be even faster in a straight line?

Still won’t beat the GTR around a ring, that’s what it was made for.

Shockwave: your description for the 997TT could just as easily be applied to the GTR. The GT2/3 is a purpose built race machine…loud as hell in the cabin, and you can feel how many legs the insect you just ran over had because of the stiff suspension settings.

LZ: Those tires are pretty nice for when it rains, or for driving in snow. I think it was Top Gear that floored the GTR on wet grass, and the thing _took off_, I’ll have to find the link. And weight…well, eh, I drive a Supra, I’m used to it :mamoru:

You clearly just go off of Clarkson’s entertainment review’s and have never been in a GT2 or GT3 in your life.
