2012 GTR vs Z06 vs GT500
|
Wow, looks like Nissan brought a gun to a fist fight.

Thanks for sharing
:cheers: GT500: "Out Classed" Z06: " Got out feeling like I just been in a fight, hands shaky with adrenaline, God what a mighty car." GT-R: "Rarely is a car so powerful & so fast, so composed, so non-threatening, but that's the GT-R. The jump-in & go supercar...that makes it the ultimate 5-figure phenom." |
Wow they are 3 very different cars. I have had all three of these cars in there older models. I can vouch that nothing has changed. Mustang still heaps of fun who cares if it does slower lap times when you can blow the rears on a corner and control the car on the right foot. Corvette just an axe murderer and when you get it right it is very, very quick. The GTR with that massive punch in the back out of the corners as the turbos are spooling up is great fun as well, he mentioned several times he had only one hand on the wheel ? Very clinical car as he said boooooring but very fast. I'll take all three and drive them on different days of the week ! great clip thanks for the watch :thumbs: Stewy

Equip the Z06 with AWD and we'll run that test again.

Very nice videos! Great way to sum up the different approaches each car represents.

That would be nice...How much additional weight about 200-300 pounds?...The "old guard" would have a fit

Equip the GTR with 500 lbs less and we'll run that test again. No ifs and buts, brother. It is what it is. I do think the Z06 would still pass the GTR past the 1/4, but who knows. |
You could tell towards the end when he was told the lap times....the driver seemed to like the z06 better, and wanted to say it was faster....lol.
You also must say that with more time under the belt with the z06 he would have certainly surpassed the gtr time....and considering how much less involved the gtr is to get good times (awd, auto, etc) you could argue that even with more time with the gtr, theres a limit to how much better he could have done. same applies as the drag strip - which is apparent with the 11.8 (I think stock ls3's are faster) - he just needs more time with the z06 to get the best times than with the gtr. jb |

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...tte/specs.html 12.2 for the Grand Sport: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...est/specs.html I agree. Maybe after a whole week of testing (or a couple of weeks) on that surface, which doesn't look sticky with prep, he might be a few tenths quicker.:D |

I had just wished he had done a lap with the traction on in the Vette. It would of been interesting to see the lap time ? Stewy

True, as it's almost common knowledge at this point that bone stock C6 Z06s have gone as quick as 10.9 and 11.0s at 127/128+mph (with the quickest bone stock C6 LS3 running an 11.7 at almost 120mph). Good track prep of course but it does show that the cars are clearly capable of it. :steering:
