I was really impressed with the GTR actually. The guy got in and ran 11.7's both runs at 121+mph seemingly with ease....

I think the most impressive part (and you'll see this on the video) is how easy it looks. No drama at all. It just comes out of the hole like a bat out of hell and never stops. I saw it parked next to an 04 Cobra later in the day though and it made the Cobra look small :smack:

Well, the best drivers with a bone stock ZO6 on a sticky track (stock tires still) is a high 10 at 129 (as I recall). But that's basically a VERY good driver on a very good track. So what I'm saying is that the absolute peak performance of ZO6 is higher than a GT-R in the standing quarter. But in reality, a GT-R is going to win most of the time in the hands of average drivers. From a roll on a fwy is a totally different story. For the quarter, think of the difference:

ZO6
500+ BHP @ 3,150~ lbs
RWD
Run Flats (notoriously poor)
Manual Trans
No Launch Control

GT-R
480 BHP (likely more) @ 3,800~ lbs
AWD
Sticky tires
Launch Control
Auto mode


Anywho, I ain't haten. Like I said the other day. Saw one in person for the first time and I think it looks way cooler than it does in pics.
