Dude, what the hell are you talking about? The 2010's come with LC! O9's can be taken to Nissan for their ecu reflash which drops the rpm launch to 3500rpm. You can now launch 09 GTR's without fear of voiding your warranty. Stop spreading false info please!

If I had the money, I'm not sure which one I would get. I love the GT-R, but I also love the Z06. And I love rowing my own gears

Anyways, give me the GTR anyday. Far more refined vehicle with a turbo motor and TRANSMISSION that has proven to hold 800hp reliably.
GUYS LEAVE THE GTR ALONE!!!! IM SERIOUS!!!!!!

I would take either car personally. I love rowing my own gears as well, but these dual clutch transmissions that are in factory cars definitely kick some ***. I would think the GT-R is better for a guy who isn't that good at road racing and can learn to drive a faster car. The Z06 is definitely much more of a drivers vehicle and not for the light at heart to really throw around a road course. As far as drag racing goes, that's not really what I'd buy either car for. I could get a camaro or mustang for that.

Both are great cars!!!
but when racing from a dig the Z06 driver better not make any mistakes during the race, because he will definitely get beaten badly by the GTR if he did, GTR's are no joke specially from a dig

Lastly Give me either of them & I'll be more than happy

Awd does not affect the way a car reacts from a roll. Whatever power the car is making, is what it will make when racing. The drivetrain loss is already factored in.

Kind of worded that incorrectly...rather its strenght is obviously from a stop.

you can get a C6 ZO6 for $40K used, but the GTR is so rare. If they made the GTR with a six speed I think i'd prefer that.

Why not?

Clearly this video was comparing just that.

These are two top dog street cars from both companies, I hate the GTR, looks like a ricer's wet dream, and has every assist known to man, and clearly still lost to someone with skill.

I'd rather own a real driver's car.
