Ease of driving it around or to the max would both be easier than in a zr-1. Since you seem to know so much about racing, in the purest enthusiast "run what you brung" competition I know of... One lap of America.
What corvette has EVER been as far ahead as the GTR was this year?
With the GTR your paying for innovation. With the ZR1 your paying to join the hair club for men, air vents that belong in a sunfire and nothing new unless you want to consider run flat technology a godsend.

Seriously? An "endurance type race"? That's the best comeback you can come up with? I know when I'm shopping for a sports car the top two items on my list are "is it easy to drive" and "will it run good in an endurance race".


BTW, have you even followed the GT-R in any racing series? Not those Best Motoring rigged races, I mean actual sanctioned races. It doesn't do well at all, getting its ass handed to it by Corvettes, Vipers, 911's and even the Cadillac CTS-V. If you don't believe me, head on over to www.world-challenge.com or www.gt1world.com where there are results of the various races they've run in.

Bottom line: the car isn't competitive at all. Just because you can run a fast lap at Nurburgring doesn't mean the car is actually a good base for a race car, as several teams are finding out. Cuz, you know, race series have rules that everyone must adhere to, so Nissan can't send a juiced up car like they can when they run Nurburgring.

All of which makes your endurance comment all the more entertaining.
