Yep, just like the title says, they pit the new Nissan GT-R against the Corvette Z06, the Audi R8 and the Porsche 997 GT3... all I can say, is wow, I'm pretty impressed. I can't believe it looks like the GT-R might actually be up to the hype everyone has been giving it. Check this out:

I always said, if I could own a Z06, I would rock one... I think things have changed, as I would rather have the new GT-R

Sweet article. The GT-R would be on my dream car list if it weren't automatic

Why why are car manufactures making awesome cars automatic.... i mean you don't even get the option to get a manual with the GT-R.

Just another note about the GT-R.... they strapped one to a dyno not too long ago, it put down a little over 400whp, check it out:

The R8 really doesn't seem as nice as I thought it was and the GT-Rs untuneable features really turn me off but they are both great cars overall. The ZO6 is a definite wish list.

When i lived in california and was planing on buying a WRX Harman Motive was like a dream come true! If i had gotten a WRX out there and then moved here i would have cried.... Harman Motive is sweeeeeeet!

The GT-R is an amazing car! I just wish so badly that they made one with a 6speed.

I just can't get passed that the GT-R, with a driver will weigh over 4000 pounds. UGH! The only way it will be sub 4000 pounds is if Andrew is driving!

Ill beat you all stock for stock! Weight of myself FTW :lol:

If I was going to buy a car in that price point, I think I'd still get the C6Z even though it costs about $10,000 more.

And hell, used C5 Z06s are getting pretty affordable now.

The GT-Rs DCT has a manual mode to be used with paddles. Sure it's not a stick, sure there's not clutch pedal, but damn does it shift fast. Faster than you can shift a manual actually. I still love the lines of the R8 though....

Still not interested.

I've shared this article with some of my SCCA friends. They aren't fazed by it. For autox, the GT-R is way too heavy and that's only after it doesn't get put on the exclusion list.
