Don't let Nissan marketing fool you. Slap a race driver at the Ring and the Auto Sport times become irrelevant.

The Z06 is that fast.
This month's R&T track test where they use several different pro race car drivers seems to suggest otherwise.

Are these the same clowns that adjusted their runs for the GTR for altitude only to forget the GTR computer already does so?

Seriously what car would you pick as a track car?

I don't know why people are dissing the Z06. It's one of the best sports cars ever MADE in the U.S. I'm not surprised it beat the GTR.

Man....I love ZO6 and GTR equally and inshalla ZO6 will be my next car(you guessed it...crazy markups on GTR) but you should check this out.

GTR with a mine's exhaust mod kills a Zo6 till 170mph.

I used to own a 2006 Z06 (kids change everything).

The car is obscenely fast. It does 62mph in first gear and pulls like a freight train up to it's 7000rpm redline. The car is very light and feels light and nimble dispite it's size.

No, the interior isn't that nice and I don't care if anyone criticizes the Z06, but drive one and you may be surprised.

P.s. You won't be looking at the interior all that much when you're driving the car. It has a nice heads-up display so you can watch where you're going. I'll be 39 on the 24th of this month.

As for the GT-R, I give it props for sure. Nissan built a very nice car for the money, but it's just plain U-G-L-Y.
