2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vs. 2009 Nissan GT-R - Although the few GM employees who see the GT-R barely pay it any attention, we suspect they know why it's here. Somewhere deep inside this test facility there's a 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 getting prepped for a comparison test, and now the competition has arrived. (more)

Is this the long lost Sprint(commercial) guy or what? Dual clutch, should only need 1 to get the job done. Paddle shift in the Vette, someone needs to do their homework!! Sounds like someone tryed to grow up on a bicycle with a vr'room motor on it.
#24 of 42 Got the winner right by rf600r Nov 27, 2008 (7:14 am)
Nothing quite says "I'm the ultimate Japanese fan-boy" like buying the hideous GT-R. I'm not crazy about the clear window in the ZR-1 hood that overlooks a plastic engine cover, but otherwise the ZR-1 is pretty OMG. At least they got the winner right in this test, despite the nonsense about the chrome wheels being hideous. Sometimes even Edmunds rises about their anti-domestic bias.

the zr1 is a awesome machine, although that steering wheel is like a pimple on a supermodel....i could still make it work, and the gtr a nice peice of macine too. it looks like it would lead a rebellion in terminator rise of the machines

I own a 2007 Z06 and OWNED (past tense) the disappointing GT-R. The all wheel drive eliminates much of the joy of driving. The "goin' four-wheelin' " feel of the GT-R becomes more bothersome the longer you drive it. AND the warranty is voided the first time you use the GT-Rs launch control. It feels like a space age tank that wants to be put on a diet, lowered and driven hard. BUT you are not allowed to do so! After six months of ownership, I had a "friend" eliminate records of launch control use from the balck box and sold it. The GT-R has some great conceptual ideas but misses the mark. I will stick with my outdated RWD true American sports car. I wish I could afford a ZR1... the Z06 will due for now. Do not bye the hype. The GT-R is not all it is cracked up to be. My Z06 is now 505 RWHP with just a tune and K&N CAI kit! And I can drive as hard as I like and KEEP the warranty in place! Replies to this message: revmatt (Jun 02, 2009 1:22 pm)

But one (GT-R) and read the owners manual! If you use the launch mode, it voids the warranty!
