Corvette killer?
Do you think that the new GT-R is going to be faster than the Z06?
I doubt it, but one thing is for sure, is ugly as hell.

The concept was much more beautiful. And sure is a corvette killer.

I got more excited by the triple German V8 comparison test  Seriously though, if those numbers are real, the car is very impressive and definitely something to watch for

I will take the Z06 anyday over this ugly thing. I am sure it will be bloody fast, but I don't wanna only enjoy the car at night where noone can see it's hidious shape.

The concept wasn't the prettiest thing out there to start with, so I'm surprised they managed to make it even worse, that interior looks like it belongs into a truck, I guess the performance saves face somewhat, but still...

I can't have a final opinion about the car cause the design is, at least ,different :roll: I'm pretty sure that after japanese tuners put their hands in this model it will look way better
But the interior is very design for what I've seen so far

^ Funniest reply of the day, but total bullshit of course. 
Haven't seen a proper test or footage of this new GT-R, but for me it's Z06 for the win. RWD, NA and MT is how I like my cars.

Killer? No. But a good alternative for pussies with money and think that they can "race" in their luxury sports car.
I actually think it looks a bit better than the concept.

Does this thing only come as a two-pedal-car? Its damn fast, but if you have to use flappy paddles to change gears that puts me off to this car, not to mention the odd looks. It sure is damn fast though, I wonder how it sounds...
As to Z06 killa, nah, looks to be a pretty fair match performance wise (without seeing all the performance numbers).

It delivers what its niche market wants . . . the chance to spend way more money than necessary for a certain level of performance. At least these cars are too pricey for the average Civic driver to rice out.
