YouTube - What's the price of a dream?

It is an amazing car when you look at it. 4000lbs+ and 0-60 in less than 3.5 seconds is really incredible. It handles incredibly well with awd, so it would beat the GT500 around the track, or any car without IRS (I love mustangs, but it is true, the IRS ones are the ones that were truly track-worthy).

I'm really not a fan of Japanese imports, but Nissan is truly impressive, and pushing a solid performance agenda (something that, mind you, GM was stripped of only days ago).

I would take the ZR1 over the GTR. Having said that, it definitely is an impressive car, not to mention very nice looking, especially in person.

I agree with you in that it is a blindingly fast car, nissan did a great job. The thing i dont understand that everyone does is compare the 100 thousand dollar ZR1 to a 70 thousand dollar GTR when it would be better to compare it Z06 that makes more sense for the price range. Anyway that being said If you take a look at the new GTR v-spec, they upped the power by around 5 bhp and 10 torque but they lightened it by around 300 pounds. This car handles so well that it does a skidpad at 1.12 g which is UNBELIEVABLE. This is a car that does 0-60 in 3.4 or 3.5 seconds and costs around 100 thousand. That car can be compared to a ZR1.

Did they put a transmission in it that will actually hold together?

My dealer called me the other day to let me know that they ordered it. It is going to cost me more than I initially thought and I might have to get a second job.
