It amazes me that my fellow corvette brothers are so blind in their faith. I just got to give credit to where it is due. The GTR defies logic. I have seen countless times of a GTR winning against a corvette who had more power and def the weight advantage. The quick shifts and no loss of boost during the shifts gives the GTR a lot of help. Just my. 02.

My brother, on this sunshine filled day full of hope and promise, a Katech Torquer powered C6Z pulled away from the almighty GTR. I have been on this forum for more than 10 years and have been doing HPDE, racing and instructing longer than that. I probably have more track time than 1/3rd of the professional racers you see on TV for what it is worth.

I think the gtr is s great car with great performance, but in this situation it got beat. I have been on the track with moded gtr's and they are a formidable car to try to pass. Are they unbeatable, no and that's in a strait line or road course. Of course allot of it is driver.

Can you literally not read??? This is a roll race not a dig race for the 1millionth time. You crack me up with every single one of your posts on this forum being flat out stupid

Cruising
Here's a video of a modified Alpha logic 2012 GTR vs a 2008 C/H/I ZO6 from a roll. Granted this is not a 2013 but it is modified and the ZO6 pulls on it pretty hard. A good driver makes a huge difference just look at the fast list. This is not impossible in my opinion.

There's a simple way the clear it all up. OP said it was on a private road and the gtr was visiting someone on his street.
Just has to go back with the gtr guy and tape this 10 car lead
Then there's no speculation

The thing that has always confused me about this ongoing war is that I have NEVER seen a stock vs. stock comparison where the GT-R has beaten the Z06 to 150 MPH. 0 to 60 MPH and the quarter mile are nice metrics, but THE ***** to the wall performance metric is the 0 to 150 MPH time. 2012 Z06 vs. 2013 GT-R: GT-R wins 0 to 60 MPH, 0 to 100 MPH, and the quarter mile, but in the END, guess who gets spanked?
Z06: 0 to 150 MPH in 17.0 seconds
GT-R: 0 to 150 MPH in 17.8 seconds
That's damn near a second, or in other words:

However, in a race from a dig until 150, while a Z06 may hit that speed first, the GTR would have gotten so far ahead from 0-100~ that the Z would still be behind by the time they both hit 150. As much as I hate it, the advantage from off the line from a good launch is incredible. Having better top end can only do so much good at these speeds.

Dude F*%k all that magazine ******** you read. I went to the track and raced against a modded GtR that put down 550hp. It was running low 11's allll dayyy long in the mid 120's.
Hit 10.9 one time, once. I put down 600 wheel and I couldn't get off the line like him because I'm a complete ameture honestly... But I put down 10.7 @ 132mph. So much more trap speed. Even if he was a 600 wheel he would not have gone 6-8mph faster at the end.
They have easy potential but the buy in cost is way too high for me. You have 100K 9 second car? Congrats....?

The first few Z06s tested by C&D have the Z getting to 150mph in 17.8 sec. Not sure where you got your stats from. I can cite the issue dates if necessary. If they both take 17.8 sec to get to that speed, the GTR would be ahead due to the huge advantage it would have by the 1/4 mile mark. (about 6-7 car lengths ahead).
