I'd drive one because the torque on that beast is amazing. It's already amazing on the Z06s.

I wonder if GT-R would catch more attention than Corvette on the road.

It doesn't matter. The GTR is inferior.

in regards to attention the vette would get more attention, from girls as well, because of its iconic status. The datsun on the other hand is just another altima coupe with big wheels and german brakes. I dislike both cars.

Let's be clear here....you are the one saying the GTR is inferior, all I am saying is that the GTR V spec is not.....I am sure you have not driven either......

Oh dear. I'll refrain from quoting the sequence of posts so as not to confuse you with the facts.

At this point in time the ZR1 is a known entity. Same for the GTR. Both have been tested and reviewed extensively and comparisons can be made.

To my knowledge we do not have the benefit of these exhaustive tests and comparisons and reviews for the V spec.

Let's be clear here. I made a judgment based on documented tests and reviews. You made a judgment based on the paper spec-sheet and "claimed" performance that is the V spec.

"Well done you fat man from Kentucky" ha ha ha!! Awesome...

99% of you kids on here won't EVER have a Corvette or a Lambo... so keep dreaming. A used 300 series BMW is about as classy as you'll ever achieve in your lifetime.
