The BOSS 302 is fucking amazing. The MT test car lapped Laguna Seca in 1:40.2 seconds, which is 0.6 faster than an Audi R8. There is a Laguna Seca package available for the car too, Ford claims it lowers the laptime to under 1:40. BOSS is BAWSSS
GTR and the LFA don't even compete in the same category.....the GTR is about numbers while the LFA is all about feel. Customers love the GTR because of the amazing performance numbers. The LFA is for customers that want a great driving experience with an emphasis on feel Vs all out performance #s...hence it is rwd and na.

this is timpo's world we're talking about here, feel/experience is a little too abstract for his mind to grasp, stats/specs cut to the chase and are easy to make sense of. It's sad how many people out there take a similar view on cars as timpo
We were talking about this the other day at work. We have several people who race regularly (and by race, I don't mean track or club days - I mean race as in dropping $20K for a weekend).
We were discussing the GT-R vs the ZR1 and how they were on the track. Two guys at work have had extensive track time in a GT-R and ZR1 (along with Z06 and various Porsche GT cars).
Bottom line: they agree that no car they have ever driven can pull harder or faster out of a corner than the GT-R. The combination of AWD and the electronic distribution of torque coupled with the dual clutch transmission pretty much guarantees this. They also feel that unless you're an extremely talented driver, you won't beat the GT-R at the track.
The ZR1, on the other hand, takes a lot of skill to drive on the track. So much power through the rear wheels requires constant inputs & adjustments from the driver. If you overstep the limits you will get bit in the ass. After a few laps in the ZR1 you'll feel like you've had a workout at the gym. The GT-R could be driven fast all day without breaking a sweat.
One comment I thought intersting was that the ZR1 is the modern day Porsche Turbo. All the qualities that made the original Turbo are also present in the ZR1. Blindingly fast, extremely visceral, scary as hell at the limits. While all other manufacturers are taming their cars with electronics (GT-R being the most extreme, but even Porsche is doing this), Chevy has made real man's sports car.
So the question is which one would they take if given the choice? The ZR1. The reason being that the GT-R is smoking fast, but boring. The car does a lot of the work for you. Even though the ZR1 is much harder to drive, it's more rewarding to the driver and provides a much higher level of excitement. If you turn in a fast lap in the GT-R you're like "of course I did, what did you expect". You turn in a fast lap in the ZR1 and you feel like you've accomplished something.
People who have a soul would pick something like a ZR1. People who only look at numbers would pick a GT-R.
