2012 Nissan GTR=Corvette ZR1 KILLER.

Feb 12, 2008 9 Replies

Skylines have outclassed overpriced underperforming cars like Corvettes for years. Even several generation old Modded Skylines have easily done 1/4 mile in 7 seconds, 0-200 mph in 13 seconds, etc. Well, the STOCK 2012



1200bhp GTR has a 1/4 mile time of 9.6 seconds, and a 0-200 time of 23 seconds. Now a Highly modded 2012 GTR should do 1/4 mile in about 6 seconds, and 0-200 in 11 seconds. Nissan's dominance over inferior cars will once again be proven when the GTR CRUSHES the competition when the Stig Finally gets to drive it on the Top Gear Track. The Current Gen GTR CRUSHES the ZO6 and the next generation GTR will CRUSH the next generation ZR1. Next Gen GTR

Cars like Corvettes aren't really even the competition for the GTR it's ONLY the MSRP that leads to the comparison. Cars such as the Porsche GT2, Enzo Ferrari, Bugatti Veyron GT, SSC Aero, and the Konnegsegg CCR are the competition for the GTR.

There are a few cars that can beat a GTR in a straight line, but very few if ANY production cars can beat it on the track. Hell, it will even smoke the upcoming Bugatti Veyron GT or the SSC Aero on the track because of INSANE DRIVING ON RAILS cornering.


Stuff the GT-R

only that but it can go get 3rd in drift as well. Not very easywith a 4wd GT-R.

When will Nissan deliver a proper RWD sports coupe to match the S13/14/15?

Face facts "S"tupid "a"55 "l"amer, you haven't got a clue. Your last sedan was a toad and so is this pick.

Corvettes are garbage that only rednecks and highschool dropouts would drive. You don't see doctors, lawyers, people with PHDs or even Master's degrees driving. Even Evo, Supra, RX7, WRX, and GTI drivers are far more educated. And BTW, even OLD Skylines PWN Corvettes.

only way to make a Corvette a good car is put a Corvette body on aREAL car.

EVEN old skylines can crush 1900 BHP Vipers.

Corvettes are simply outclassed in everyway, and they have HORRIBLE HORRIBLE oversteer and cornering unlike AWD cars like the Evo FQ400, EIP R32 Golf, and Nissan GTR. That's why Skylines crush Corvettes so bad at the track. Corvettes have a primitive leafspring suspension that would be at home on a camel cart in Arabia in the 7th century. Corvettes also have CRAPPY GM reliability unlike the GTR's amazing Japanese reliability. It's no wonder that Toyota's kicking GM's butt so bad because GM continues to make crappy cars like the Corvette. Hell, even decad ole Supras are running 7 second 1/4 mile unlike crappy Corvettes. Corvettes are SOOOOO Pathetic. Even an old stock 5500lbs Grandpa's car like the Phaeton W12 could do 201 MPH way back years ago as verified by Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear, and the first Stock Corvette that can do that is the 2009 ZR1 @ over 100k. Hell, even 5 year old HPA Golfs and EIP Golfs were doing that for LESS than 55K.

Dear Sal, One more time, get out of Philly and drive. Learn what Oversteer is and how to employ it. If you can't, stick to a PT Cruiser.

-- pj, MBA (Sorry guys, no doctorate), Member SETP -- Sal can figure out which one.

Never mind.

I'd be willing to bet the average education level in our Corvette club is at least a bachelor's degree. The Dean of the school of management at the univeristy here drives a Corvette. It's a state school and salaries are public data. He makes well into 6 figures. So much for the no PhD theory.

Exactly.
