The enthusiast community for vettes is unreal. I'd say we have a pretty strong one for Zs, but it is nothing compared to the vette guys. Something to consider.
Also, I got to see a C6 Z06 in action when I was running out at the road course in Buttonwillow, very impressive. Made a novice driver seem like a superhero.
Also, consider that there will be a good deal of "collector value" in what could quite possibly be the last generation of corvettes. GM isn't exactly in the position to be churning out halo cars.
Now, all of that said, I'd choose the GTR. I jimp every time I see one.

Honestly, the only thing the Z06 has on the GT-R is the exterior looks. The interior of the 06+ Z is better than the vette IMHO. I love the way the C6Z06 looks when its lowered on some black wheels. Okay, and the exhaust sound, I havn't heard too many aftermarket GT-Rs but Z06 and generally all vettes sound great with an exhaust. I like the GT-R because its just a better overall car, its faster in corners, quicker off the line, and does so much more. Really, just sit in the GT-R and then the Z06, the difference is easy to see.

Nah, my case was I simply got lazy. The car was in storage for a while and I got used to driving my top heavy old a$$ chevy blazer. Got in the Viper, simply got lazy in the turns and gave it to much gas. Overall Id say RWD is much better as far as Z06 and GTR caliber cars are concerned. But thats just me

Standard GT-R would be around 12 psi peak or so, not a whole lot.
