oh....my.......God.....

and it was 6 sp.....
it weighs a lot less than the skyline and like 200 more HP

NSX please beat these 2 cars
for the sake of Honda please!!!!!!!
i think the test run with traffic the NSX got 7:37
that's 12 seconds the NSX has to make up for

NSX w/ traffic : 7:37
Skyline GT-R : 7:29
Corvette ZR1 : 7:26

That time is the standard GTR. The V-Spec still has to go around....

Which would you rather have?

ZR1 - $100,000
Standard GTR - $72,000

Hmmm no brainer there.

Honda needs to stay on top lol

IDK why everyone compares the ZR1 with the base model GTR. Sure the ZR1 is better, but it's the highest model vette to buy out of the models. Too bad the Spec-V prototype beat the ZR1 by 1 second Motor Authority » Spy video: 2010 Nissan GT-R Spec-V . I can't wait for the NSX and the official Spec-V GTR takes a shot at it.

I also heard rumors that Chevy wasn't playing fair, the GT-R was running in production spec while the ZR-1 was using slicks to get that time!

yeah looks like those slicks weren't holding grip towards the end of the video when you see the zr1 losing traction after a turn with oversteer and the driver puts his hand up lol

It's an apples/oranges thing. Do you like electronics or raw power? I prefer the big, high revving v8 stuffed into a light chassis (Corvette), but I can also appreciate twin turbos, F1 style trannies, awd, all controlled by computers to aid the driver.

I'm more likely to find a nice parking lot to do some smokey donuts in than I am to fly my car to Germany to race it on the worlds best track. Guess growing up with the Dukes of Hazard might have had an effect on me LOL
