2012 ZR1 gets the hot alcantara/leather interior which the Z06 is getting too

the fake ass gtr has a lot more than 550hp, it was confirmed by mizuno-san

stop crying gtr fanboys, because there's only 1 king and it's the ZR1!

I don't think what to say but, these two cars are very different. ZR1 is a rwd, gt-r awd. ZR1 has MUCH more power, over 100 hp and less weight. Personally I like the GT-R but the ZR1 is definetly faster. A GT-R can be much more faster than a ZR1 if it has more HP and less weight... ****, it's a 1700+ Kg!!!

Quality: the new ZR1 has the same steering wheel as my 2006 Pontiac Torrent SUV!!!

I think that says something, using and re-using all those designs and still took a bailout...haha, quality nothing!

You can't argue about, witch of these two very close cars are better it's all about your opinion. The GT-R has 4 seats and awd compared to the Zr1, witch makes it a lot heavier and a lot less powerful, and it can still compete against it. IT can also drive in northern weather like in Canada. But personally i think the corvette is definitely the better performer not by much though, and its probably the better driver car. Its all what you prefer.

I really couldn't care less about the GT-R, the ZR1 is so much more a driver's car, and is so much better to drive in all aspects. The GT-R has no soul, but it does get it's job done. And as Nissan tries harder and harder to make the car faster, it is proven time and time again the ZR1 is faster.

Also, if you say the GT-R has better quality you're just looking for something to bitch about. That and people who are fans of the GT-R are generally just ****wits who don't know what they're talking about and think the GT-R is the second coming.

Personally, for the price, **** both of those cars and by an E9X M3.

No doubt the GT-R is phenomeal, BUT, it's a lot more fickle. The ZR-1 is raring to go all the time, ive seen GT-R's go into a super conservative 9 Psi mode where it kills the power because its too hot or the octane isn't high enough and there's not much you can do about it. But of corse (pun intended) the Vette has a huge displacement advantage and forced induction so you're not comparing much except price point.

Ok... What's your point?

You seem pretty heated about two cars you don't even own. You want a second to sit down and relax? You going to be OK?
