I would expect the corvette to be quicker with over 100 more hp and costs 25k more. Even at that, it ties the gt-r's 0-60 and just barely beats it in the quarter. Plus you can drive the nissan in the rain and snow, which you would'nt even consider driving the chevy in. I wonder how fast the gt-r would be with 10-15k of tuning and still be cheaper than the vette...

The ZR-1 on the other hand is just a filter, tune, pulley swap away from 600whp+ these cars will run 9's with bolt ons, watch.

I really hate to say it but its also pretty obvious which one is more reliable.
wait till the GT-R Vspec comes out. 550hp and 300lb weight reduction, better aero, better brakes, retuned suspension. That will be a better comparison.

GTR MSRP: was 69-71K but increased by 7K now
ZR1 msrp: around 104k
GTR with average markup (from ebay): 84-89K
ZR1 with markup (from ebay): lowest current bid on one is 120K with reserve not met, most are up around 135-155K
The two cars are not at all similar imo. You can compare them and each will come out ahead in various areas. Too bad I can't afford either right now.

R-U-Joking!! The GTR has a 20K trans with no aftermarket it will be the weak link in the end.....just imagine engage LC sequence and pop there goes 20k!! The ricer argument is so, 90's anway
