[QUOTE="Starfox07, post: 8065267, member: 19356"] Oh ok I read it wrong. The thing is, is the GT-R is SUPPOSED to be a [I]bargain[/I] supercar. It's no longer impressive if it has basically the same performance as the ZR1 or ACR but costs $50k more. Also, this can hardly even be classified as a production car with the extremely small output, even more so because its only to be sold in Japan. I'm trying to find the relevance of this car, and I'm coming up blank. That might be the case, but whats the result? It is slightly faster, as shown, than the ACR and ZR1, but not justifiably faster than the $50k increase would lead you to believe. The AK47 is hardly technically sophisticated, but it gets the job done with rugged simplicity. There are two forms of engineering, and the 'Vette/Viper and GT-R just happen to polarize the two ends. Don't call it better simply because it has more 'technology.' The ZR1 is not twice the price (comparing MSRP) of the Z06 and you do get a completely new engine, revised suspension with newly engineered parts and further chassis refinements. So, I would say yes, the ZR1 is easily worth the $30,000 or so increase in price. (hell the crate engine itself is probably $20k new) I get the feeling the Nissan engineers are just "fiddling" with the GT-R then requiring mortgage to buy it. [/QUOTE]
