I'd say the GTR seems like it would be pretty good on price/performance, but I just can't get over how ugly it is.

definitely not the Z06 anymore.
I'd say the GT-R.
According to Edmunds, the GT-R's price can be as low as $67,000. The Z06 is $71,000.
Also the GT-R is faster than the Z06 anyways...except the topspeed.

only 280hp, a lot more expensive than the Viper, GT-R and Z06.

Buy a used 2001 Z06 Corvette. 405hp in a very well sorted suspension. You can get them between $16,000-$20,000 in the states.
Throw in a momo or OMP wheel, and some recaros or sparcos, and a nicer shifter, and it's actually a totally bearable GM!

I'm curious how you think a car with less HP & torque and weighing 700 lbs more, with the increased driveline losses of AWD (less WHP) is going to be faster?
Probably in 0-30 or even 0-60 where the extra traction from AWD helps, but after that it'll be bye-bye GT-R. | Nissan GT-R
top speed 310.6 kph / 193 mph
0 - 60 mph 3.5 seconds
0 - 1/4 mile 11.7 seconds http://www.supercars.net/cars/3842.html
Chevrolet Corvette Z06
top speed 318.7 kph / 198 mph
0 - 60 mph 3.6 seconds
0 - 1/4 mile 12 seconds http://www.supercars.net/cars/3075.html
and yes, the GT-R's laptime is faster on the ring as well.

Just did a quick search. The GT-R apparently is quite the porker.
Wikipedia (fwiw) provides curb weights of 3836 lb for the GTR and 3132 lb for the C6 Z06... interesting.
