Check the net to see if somebody else can get what Nissan are claiming then check if anybody else has obtained Porsche’s and other manufactures claims.

Cheers miss-lead people.

I am yet to see a review of the ZR1 not from a Pro-muscle car fan that it has better ride than a GTR.

I spent some time in the states, and most people who had Corvette had the “usual” Z06 not the ZR1, as it is pretty much “decked out”, basically a Z06 on steroids.

The V-Spec badge on a GTR doesnt mean the car has been tuned to the extent that of the ZR1. If you look at History of the GTR, V-Specs are a light-mod/tuned GTR. Unlike the ZR1.

Ride quality? Assuming you have owned both cars and have driven hundreds of kms/miles on each, or atleast have enough driving time with each, is a moot argument. Ride quality is subjective anyhow.

I like the ZR1, but technology behind it is much older and primitive to that of the GTR.

Light body + Big engine + crank the horse power. 6.2 liter V8 for goodness sakes.
GM’s formular for performance = Engine size increase = more power.

Its plain and it works to an extent, but if I was to pay $100,000+ for a car, I want it sophisticatedly designed with some form of technology I do not understand…which is a sign the engineers did there job hehe.

Again, someone gives me a ZR1 I’ll walk away happy with no complaints but if I had the money… I’d pass.
Its ultimately American-style thinking.. bigger is better.

The Corvette is so much better looking and so much less complicated, shame they are not RHD, it is an awesome car, (like the GTR) but I’d have one over the GTR anyday.

They’ll have to re-name it soon, I’d suggest the W120 an acronym for “we found only 120 idiots”

The ZR1 isnt really a comparison to the GTR, as it is pretty much race spec…. as opposed to street-spec with the GTR, the forged wheels and V-Spec tyres isnt much of an advantage, because the car is still pre-diet… meaning heavy, street form.

The ZR1 also cost more and have racing spec tuning….

considering it is only about a second faster…. the GTR is technically faster pound for pound.

Great car but would rather still be seen in a Porsche. 3yrs time the Nissans going to be worth UK£25K will have been thrashed to bits and driven by Cashed-up Chavs with even bigger exhausts and sticker all over them.
