Corvette ZR1 Spy Nissan GTR - Fast Lane Daily - 20Sept07

they will be making a lighter version called the GTR spec V , and theres a company called Top Secret that already has a 525hp GTR, the engine has more potential but not until the cars "blackbox" is hacked that would allow the engine to be modified.

Ignore him. He's just a fanboy. Mustang +4,000lbs Gallardo +3,800lbs GTR 3,800lbs F430 +3,200lbs Z06 3,108lbs ZR1 Will be lighter than Z06 lol GTR will be fast because it's computer operated AWD doesn't have to slow down around turns as often as any of the cars mentioned. GTR has the weakest engine mentioned and is very heavy. The GTR is a good car though and can beat the average Italian crap. I love the GTR but I hate fanboys.

You have no idea as to what you are talking about. The Z06 has a 7.0 litre V8 that is made of and ALUMINUM alloy and upholstered by magnesium. It is mounted further down and lower back into the car. The actual Z06 is lighter than a F430. And the ZR1 is gonna be lighter. The ZR1 engine is smaller than the Z06 engine! Believe it or not the GTR is the heavy. It weighs about 700lbs more than the Z06. It's only 200lbs lighter than those heavy ass Mustangs. lol Do your homework!

Actually it's only 480hp. It's only a V6. Even if it is twin turbo that's not enough to make up for it's weight. What's gonna make the GTR fast is the AWD.

Why is everybody fighting about this crap? Nobody is addressing the REAL OWNAGE! The real ownage here is that the ZR1 and GTR (even Z06 in some cases) completely take away the whole reason for getting one of those overpriced Italian pieces of shit! Ever see a Z06 kill a F430 at a stop light? I have. And the look on the owners face........ priceless.

The Germans also ran the Z06 on the Nurburgring with heavy tires.

lol, the picture they showed of the possible "McLaren P11" is the Ascari KZ1. rofl.

it's also funny that the AWD is what helped, take that away from your GTR and it will lose badly.....Japan.......

DOHC engines have hemispherical combustion chambers with the spark plug in the center so the flame front moves evenly during operation, resulting in more complete combustion. Even the new LS7 heads are basically the same old wedge shaped combustion chambers. Writers praise its improved flow-for a 2 valve head. But these improved heads cant outflow heads with 4 or more valves per cylinder...

Hey, FLD! Please! You have to have Jin and Derek D at the Detroit Auto Show in January '08. Opening Night is usually a black-tie affair so it'll be great for once to have a little class and have both Jin and Derek at Opening Night. Think you can pull that off?

speaking of overweight, you do realize the vette is way lighter than thr gtr.dumbass

The Z06 gets equal or better mileage than cars of the same performance. The Z06 gets 16mpg city, 26mpg hwy. While the F430 got 11mpg city, 16mpg hwy. Like you said the LS7 ($14,500) costs a lot less, as I found out, than engines of equal performance. I also found out the Mercedes 6.2L DOHC V8 engine costs $56,000! Just imagine how much the F430 engine costs.

DOHC engines weigh also weigh more. Also OHV engines can get just as good fuel economy, look at the Gen 5 LS series engines. They can have VVT and DI just like a DOHC. Why did an OHV engine win motorsports engine of the year last year? The top engine builders in the world voted for it. An entire Corvette Z06 costs less than most of the engines the LS7 beat. Oh, and I know of a bunch of OHV engines that make 1000hp per liter. Way to not know what you are talking about.

The real hillbillys are the GM engineering team. Still making OHV engines? How they managed to continue to be made in the 21st century boggles the mind. DOHC engines are superior in Horsepower/liter, Fuel Economy, Emissions and every other aspect, except they cost more to build. I guess it is all about profit, not building good engines.

Correction. The GTR was using production-specification Bridgestone RE070 Runflats.

the corvette and skyline is going too kill the 911 turbo. skyline 0-100 is 3.5 sec damm fast. corvette 0-100 under 3.5 faster

That's right missionbrent and that was the prototype Nissan GTR at Nordschleife, not the production version. And it was likely using slicks, not street tires, to achieve 7:38.

Yea except the Z06 did it in production form with it's old rear socks. The new ones are said to be much better. Just to remind you the production version isn't out. No one has bought a GTR yet, so you still don't know what the final production version will do. So that ring number means nothing until it is done in a production car.

Well the 'overpriced playstation on wheels' did go round the nurburgring in 7:38. That's 4 seconds faster than a Z06.

Off topic. Somebody at youtube has got to find a way to kill off those fucking spambots. Damn...I hate wasting my time clicking on the (Spam) reporting link and not reading actual content relating to the video.

LOL, people on here actually think the GTR will be faster than the ZR1, lol. It won't even be as fast as a Z06. It is slated to have around 450hp and weigh 3600lbs. More comparable to the LS3 C6 vette. Even if it were true that hillbillys drive vettes, I would rather be a hillbilly and drive a vette than a fanboy that drives an over-priced playstation on wheels.

The funny thing is these people cracking on the vette cause it is an american car, sure its got the chevrolet name on it. but underneath it is mostly eourpean design. And it is one of the fastest cars made for the money. 500 factory hp for under $80k you cant really beat that. I do hope the gtr is fast enough to keep up with its legend. i really like both of the cars. ive driven the z06 now i wanna see what the nissan has.....

GO GTR. the hillbilli Vette can just die

i never seen a hillbilli with a vett before.where do u live excatly.

the gtr will own all the fuckin hillbillies with vettes. Cant wait to buy one after med school.
