The GTR won the track times, which is surprising. They did say it was a colder day and that the GTR is $40,000 more! I just don't see the same thing that some others do cuz that Nissan is horribly ugly looking to me. I wouldn't buy one if it were $40,000 less. That ZL! rocks!

Hi `Brent,
I loved those vid's & I think if it were warmer & a better driver it would have been a closer race, but kudos's to the GT-R for their package/performance & all wheel drive...

But for the best BANG 4-the $'s, I would want the ZL`1 with it's V8 sounds & POWER....I loved the first vid with the burn outs + it's looks over the GT-R....I'd love to have both, but `if I had to choose just one, I'd choose the awesome ZL`1 for-$ure

"To dare 2 dream in SpaceVision 4-Sure"
---------------------------------------------------------
Thanks `Brent 4 your post & comments. I know I can't afford either unless I hit the lotto Our boss just gave everyone a Powerball lotto ticket for 2morrow nights $250 million dollar lotto ~> Let us all pray 4 empty `Space
Hope everyone enjoys this thread & vid's...I know that I will revisit it & pray the burnout vid ~LOL

Hi Mike, personally you don't like it, but how about professionally ? ~> I agree the GT-R's are a great package, especially 4 a monster V6 + all wheel drive, but for the cost difference, I'd choose the ZL'1...
Aren't we all fortunate to have so many SuperSuper rides to choose from or dream about....4-Sure...

Thank you & member's for your posts/votes and posting your opinions of both of these Super Rides...I also enjoy reading what falls outa every-one's Mind

I don't care which one is faster. I would take the Chevy. People need to start supporting USA and not everyone else. Granted I know a lot of US cars have foreign parts but that is a whole new thread. Camaro just looks better.

i would drive the ZL1 reason is (not considering the power)
1. its RWD
2. it doesn't use so much electronics to run the car
3. the Camaro isn't over rated like the GTR is
4. its supercharged not turbo charged, i like low end power more than top end.
5. its domestic MUSCLE car.
6. its a CHEVROLET....shall i say more.
