My 08 C6 vs Nissan GT-R

[SoonToBeASnake]

I was on my way to work this morning in the Vette, and I see a car coming up real fast, and it turned out to be a Nissan GT-R :-D I normally don't like to mess around too much but I couldn't resist :lol: He looked over and smiled and so did I, I quickly downshifted to 3rd gear approximately at 70mph and from there we proceeded to do a quick pull to approximately 120 and the front of his car was at my door with me slowly pulling away still. We both exchanged thumbs up and continued our way. My car is bone stock and keep in mind, I have a 1LT model, which is the lightest model C6 you can get asides from a C6 Z06. It also has the LS3 motor. The shipping weight on my car was 3174lbs. I'm sure that the GT-R was stock as well. Needless to say, I was very impressed with the GT-R considering the weight and the all wheel drive :thumbsup:

Noice, the LS3 looks to be a very strong motor.

Damn impressive for the GTR to be so close at high speeds. You would have widened the gap I'm sure had you gone faster. Good kill broughski:dancenana:

I cant wait to try my luck with one!

wish I had me a c6 ls3. :rockon:

Nice kill impressive that they do pull that good from a roll though

 

[Hissssss]

Congrats...I am sooooo waiting to crush one myself, I bet that was one of the best runs you have had in a while, go bowtie!

I would like to run into some c6s or GTR's around here but they are usually no where to be seen or the Vette owners never want to mess around. Good kill!!

I am pretty sure he was stock, as am I :thumbsup:

 

[TORNATIC!!]

Good kill. Love those LS3's. 370-390 rwhp stock and a sleeper because it looks so similar to the LS2 C6.

LS2s can be sleepers too with the addition of LS3 heads and Intake. 370-380rwhp

NICE KILL!

The GTR's are the real deal. I raced one about 2 months ago in my GT 500 from ~50mph to 125 mph and put ~ 3 car lengths on him. I was impressed with it.

LS3 Vette.... :beer:

What usually happens between a stock GT 500 and a stock LS3 Vette?

I beat the two that I raced when my car was stock. But the races were both from a roll and I didn't pull them by a lot.

I pulled on one pretty easily from a 65mph roll :shrug:

The GT-R is a cool car and all but my boy (a ricer) seems to think it is THE CAR. His argument was PRICE. MSRP is 65k he says, but in all the mags i've seen it is 75k-80k. But without the AWD it wouldn't be anything to sweat over for a GT500 or modded cobra. :shrug:
