the GTR looks kinda ugly in the picture, but i think it's because of the angle.

Priced like a Z06? A Z06 is 60k. I wouldn't call 20k more a similar price
I'm betting stock vs stock the Z06 would win in about every catagory too. The Z06 is still the performance bargain.
They call it a Corvette killer. It should be for the price. An 08 Z51 Vette can be had for about 45k. The '08 Z51 is also an 11 sec. 1/4 car stock and a great handling car.
I really like it, but not for 80k. I think it should be priced more in the 50k range.

Hmm well thus far all the Z06 owners i know have paid 70-72k for their cars, if you know where to get those cars for 60 out the door then please tell me where.
When talking about handling, you wouldn't express the handling of the 911 turbo as just "great". the car is without a single doubt one of the best handling cars in the world, and when i Nissan GTR comes along and matches and even beats its lap times at Laguna Seca by a couple tenths then you pretty much have one of the futures greatest super cars.
You have no idea what you are talking about.

As far as the GTR goes, im speechless.

I have to agree, you can not buy a new Z06 for $60k.........

I would take this GTR over a Z06 in a heartbeat.... even if i had to pay another 10k for it.

Amen. Minimal mods on this thing and you will be eating up other car in the segment. Totally badass. Id take one of these over a ZO6 as well.
