Still, the Corvette is no good if you want to go to the mall.

7:24.22 Nissan GT-R (2011)
7:26.4 Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 (2009)
7:26.70 Nissan GT-R (2009)
7:29.03 Nissan GT-R (2009)
Wow look the (2011) Gt-r was faster but as shown in the video the 2009 Corvette was faster. Even after 2 tries for the (2009)Gt-r.

So the nissan accoridin to there dyno is only 74hp off the rated while the vette is 133hp shy of its rated .... Least they did not lie about that one !
American tv shows can say what they want they always do , even there news shows frequently have complete shit as factual content !

#1 ... and with a starting price difference of about 26,160.00, pick your favorite GT-R upgrade package ftw!

I dont agree with how this was put together either... Obviously they favor the Corvette. but if you want to talk shit about the corvette take a look at the 2010 season GT2 class racing then try to down talk it.

#6 You probably do not know it but the 2011 GT-R ($95,000+) is way different from the one in this vid.The suspension is modified and the NEW engine is now at 530 HP. And yet the older ZR1 still has a faster time, 7:22.4 ,when driven by a good driver,Jan Magnussen.......

The ZR1 is only running 10 lbs of boost and is on 91 octane pump gas. You would think an AWD Supercar would be waaaay faster than a RWD car,but lap times don't lie.
Here is a dyno run for a stock 2009 ZR1 with only 1000 miles on it. It falls more in line with what most ZR1's put out.
http://www.vetteweb.com/features/vemp_0810w_2009_corvette_zr1_dyno_test/index.html
At 3,814lbs the GT-R has the curb weight some 490lbs heavier than the 3,324lb ZR1.
The GT-R has a slightly longer wheelbase and a narrower track width in both the front and rear compared to the ZR1. It’s taller as well. So flat cornering can not compare to the lower and wider Corvette.
#11 You are right about some news reports being factually wrong. I saw a news report last night that said some Irishmen aren't drunken sots, but I do not believe that crap! No offense,I mean that in the nicest way.

It's so easy to the Skyline!
Corvette is a drag race car... not for those who like curves & g-force adrenaline

#22 Numerous skid pad tests have been done on the GT-R by different groups and .96 is the best to date. THINKING something does not make it so.
This test could not be any more fair so maybe all should just watch topgear where those pompous twats are extremely biased and prejudiced. I can not stand to watch those guys.
Here is a link to the ultimate Lambo supercar vs the ZR1 and the ZR1 still looks pretty good.
