Ya between the Z06 and the GTR…I’d have to go with the R8 LOL. Sounds better, looks better, more planted, more baller, the handling is awesome and it is also from the future.

paddle shifting vs manual shifting

is like

gtr vs z06

same as

technology vs 40 years ago

obviously technology wins but old manual is just plain fun sometimes

and i just bought a vette ☹

Dude swap for a 4-speed in the Z06!!! Longer gears mean more of a man and the less shifting wins you races.

This old man bitch I know shaved off 3-second at Laguna switching his R34 to Hollinger.

Paddle shifting is offered in a 06 and up c6 vette. Yeah love both of these cars, I’d have to say side by side in a race the winner would be based on driver skill because they are so close

That’s not just one track, it’s four, and GT-R pwned the Z06 hard.
