GTR vs C6 Z06

BigRez · 07-03-2009, 01:38 PM

I know this is a biased forum but why would choose a GTR over a z06, please give me some intelligent feedback, and if you aint got nothin nice to say dont say nothin.

I love how you ask for intelligent feedback followed by a statement like "if ain't got nothing nice to say dont say nothin."

DavesZ#3 · 07-03-2009, 03:00 PM

Because I love my Nissans and would never own another GM product.

LOL

I would choose the GTR only because of its technawlogy and exklusivity. The Z06 seems like a better daily driver to me but that's a downside because if you've seen one vette, you've seen em all.

I would choose the GTR for it's concept, turbocharged possibilities, awd, paddle shifter, and exclusivity,

68Stang · 07-03-2009, 05:00 PM

I'd pick the Z06 for its boosted and N/A potential. Cubes.

I like that the GTR is rarer than the z06 but I just can't get past the looks and gearbox. Z06 for me.

I don't think I will ever own a GM. Aka " Government Motors "

+1, but it would be damn hard choice cause the Z06 is such a great car. it would drive me crazy choosing between the two but i would lean a little towards the GT-R

Spork · 07-03-2009, 06:05 PM

^ Exact same with me. I love the C6 Z06, but I think the GTR might find its way into my garage. I can't afford either, though.

Good ol HKS GT680 kit.

I have yet to drive a GT-R, but I have driven a C-6 Z-06 on a track a few times and played with a few GT-R's in the mountains at ZdayZ.

I know the GT-R is heavy, and I doubt it is as nimble as a Z-06, but Nissan has found a way to make that heavy car dance with, (I am guessing here) about 90% of the agility found in cars weighing almost 1000lbs less.

Aside from its weight, the GT-R seems to do everything else better than a Z-06. When it comes to "digging out" of turns, it's not even close. In stock trim, the Z06 I drove had trouble putting down its power out of turns. (A little more so than some other high power RWD cars I have driven.)

I hope I get a chance to put a GT-R through its paces, but until then, I can only speculate from what I saw driving behind some GT-R's in the mountains.

The traction on the Sharif's GTR at the airstrip was unreal. That thing was putting 520 whp DD (~560-570 rwhp DJ STD) AWD with no slip at WOT... IN THE RAIN.

I know the car is heavy, but it doesn't feel heavy at all.

No contest.

JPE22 · 07-03-2009, 09:49 PM

Z06 for me

primarily cuz i love how it looks! V8 baby

KingBaby · 07-03-2009, 10:22 PM

Once again if the GT-R came with a sick

Sweet, you should go get a scion then......

I had the chance to buy either and ended up the the zo6 reasons were I always wanted a zo6. the 427 sound and power and it was not FI. All the power was natural plus the gtr had to much computer driven control along with the tranny . But to each their own. I love my zo6 and seems like many people I meet do also. The car rides great once you get rid of the run flats. On a road trip after I had it dyno tuned the car gets about 30 mpg on the hwy at 70 mpg.

skaterbasist · 07-04-2009, 02:28 AM

I'd get the one that gives you the better driving experience (aka a driver's car). And it's pretty obvious which one is much better at that.

The GTR is a great car. But its just not what I would be looking for in a supercar. It weighs too much, isn't as fast as a Z06 in terms of sheer acceleration, and doesn't offer a manual. I've seen too many people get rid of their GTR's for the fact that it doesn't give you the proper supercar experience.

I also have a thing for NA power

Ilike350Z · 07-04-2009, 05:36 AM

Gt-R all the way
