Nissan GT-R Info: BIG UPDATE!
Hmmm and yes...the Z06 is still old school. Let me see, push rods, 2 valves per cylinder, single camshaft in the middle of the block, the same engine design from 50's. If the is not old school, then I don't know what is. There's nothing revolutional about the new Z06. It's a revised version of the same Vette.
Get a clue kiddies. The Z06 is a cool car, but not that cool.

COLOGNE, Germany - GM's small-block V-8 added another accolade to a long list of honors when Corvette Racing's LS7.R was named the Global Motorsport Engine of the Year at the inaugural Professional Motorsport World Expo in Cologne, Germany, on November 9. The race-prepared LS7.R engine, which shares its architecture with the production LS7 small-block V-8, propelled Corvette Racing to its fifth GT1 class victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 18, 2006. The 7.0-liter engine also powered the Compuware Corvette C6.R race cars to the 2006 American Le Mans Series manufacturers, drivers and team championships with a perfect reliability record.
Honestly E. Haskell, after reviewing your posts on this thread. Everything you wrote is worthless. You provided no convincing arguments for anything. Just mindless flames. It would have been off if you have posted nothing. At least then you wouldn't have shown what a tool you really are.
btw...comparing a fully built American Le Mans race car to a stock show room model is like comparing a bicycle to a motorcycle. There's no comparison, because there not the same car. You really need to think these things through.
But how can that be without over night parts from Japan?
505hp/470lb-ft vs 500hp/379lb-ft
Now take your Skyline poster from over your bed and your platinum edition of F&F and burn them.
South Side Evo is just a lame, irrational and misinformed fanboy. There is no point with arguing with him. In his own little delusional JDM world, Japanese will always be better no matter what, even if it's not as good compared to something non-JDM. What a loser.

Basically for all the die hard Z06 fans that can only flame in defensive of there baby, but doesn't provide any bases for there arguments, your posts are useless. You are better off defending the car with facts then useless personal attacks. Not only do you look like a tool, but you provide nothing to support you point of view, thus you have convince no one that you car is great.
Congrats I guess.
Considering I owned 3 Vette's, 4 Mustangs, and a host of other American trucks. I also worked three years for a Ford factory sponsored road race team, running the Mustang. I spent countless hours at the track driving them and tuning them. I would hardly consider myself a JDM purist. I spent thousands of hours working on Ford's and Chevy's. I know them well and their weaknesses. Only a fool or someone extremely stubborn, doesn't recognize a better design. Let's look at the Evo. It's 2.0L and with miminal amount of mods will put out about 300whp. The hps per cube (for the old school guys) is much better on the Evo then the Z06. If the Z06 puts out the same amount of power per litre, it would be 1150hps for 7.0L.

owned
btw the srt-4 has even better hp per liter stock lol
I'm not sure why you are even on the Evo forum, especially if you consider everything non-Z06 to be propaganda.

You are the one that has been owned and you owned yourself...lol
So we go from this...
... to me asking your for (link) proof
... to now this?
Than you sir are a certify BSer.
Next time, have proof to your claims instead of just making false statements out the mouth to make yourself look good. You just could have said from the jump start that the power to weight numbers just don't add up to the 10.06 time, but no, you try to be a smartass on proving your point and didn't think I would ask for proof to your claims. Ontop of that you tell me "don't believe everything I read", yet you come in here saying that "10.06 was a magazine misprint", yet you have no magazine article or internet site to refrence your claims, tisk tisk tisk.
Im done with you,
QFT.
Actually im the type of person to take a stock Evo or Vette over an Elise because the Elise does not offer what I need in a vehicle. It doesn't have the amenties that I need and want for an everyday car, and in that same sentence, the Elise is a track bread car, sure you can drive it around the city, but creature comforts lack and your body will ache in no time. Ontop of that, im not an autox type of guy, when ever I go to the track, im just doing the 1320 which the Evo and Vette do mighty fine for me IMO compare to the Elise.
You do not know what I can afford and you seem to overlook sarcasm in my post waaaay to much. You have made your statement quite clearly on NSX and why it's worth the cost, that's fine... go buy your NSX, im not going to knock you for that. Hell, if I see you in the streets ill even wave, but what you need to understand is, I will not pay and do not think the NSX is worth 90k. It's a matter of my opinion based on what I feel and know about the vehicle. The fact is if I was looking for a sports car in the 90k - 100k range the NSX would be 3/4ths to the bottom of my list, period.

You don't seem to know jack about racing. Passing is very difficult given somewhat nearly matched cars on a tight course.
And if you bothered to look at the 'time attack' times, the Z-tune ran a 1:05.10 vs. the Z06 1:06.02. The Lambo ran a 1:04.76 and the STI ran a 1:07.00 by the way.
Using your logic, you'd think that the Z06 with 200hp more, 200 lbs less than the STI would have beat it during the race. Simple physics right?

Let me guess, your the type of person who would rather have a modded Evo or Corvette instead of the more expensive Elise? You seem to be all about numbers, and to MANY owners thats just not what is important. A well balanced mid engined car at a road course is a challenging and rewarding drive on the track, period.
