I drove a Z06 six months ago, and then drove the GTR for a while in December. There is no comparison... both are special cars with their own character, but the GTR blew the Vette away in the real world. It feels surefooted and invincible, whereas the Z06 felt like it was always trying to put you in a ditch.
Haters should drive a car before they judge it. There is a reason why the GTR has won so many car-of-the-year awards. It will smoke every other car on the street and on the track under $200k.
Away, here is it with my very humbled xB-

The Z06 is a drivers car. The GTR is easier to push because the computers are holding your hand.
The GTR's lines are sick from the back of the front wheel, but the front and roof line are terrible. Looks like a 84yr old women with a terrible face lift.
It'd rather DD your box

I meant real world mass production cars. The ACR is amazing but it's a one-trick pony. You could say that or the top-spec Ariel Atom or a GT3 RS is better in a cetrain setting, but they don't shine everywhere, doing anything. The GTR does.
Oh and by the way, I do like the R33 (well-sorted) better. I'm just making the case for current production cars.

Altho the GTR is an amazing machine and it may be faster, i still wouldn't buy it for a few reasons.
1) I'll be damned if I ever pay more then 50 grand for a god d^#% nissan.
2) Too many gadgets and computers and all that stuff. I like to drive my car, not have my car drive me.
