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)

Replying to: bigmclargehuge (Jun 04, 2009 4:59 am) This is the actual text from the letter that they make buyers sign. Repairs for damage caused by driving with VDC OFF are expressly excluded under the terms of the Nissan GT-R New Car Limited Warranty. To avoid risk for such repairs, you are reminded to drive with VDC ON at all times. Except when stuck, there is no reason to be driving with VDC OFF. This says nothing about 'void' It says the owner drives with VDC-off at their own risk. The only thing that can void a warranty is tampering with the ECU, which you said "I had a "friend" eliminate records of launch control use from the balck box and sold it." If you were an owner, you would have known that was a big no-no. Everything you say about this car is backwards.

I guess I'm a little partial to the bowtie guys Replies to this message: bigmclargehuge (Jul 15, 2009 5:21 pm)

Replying to: jsh3fan (Jul 11, 2009 9:43 am) For what purpose would they need 2 more cylinders? Mizuno has clearly stated he wants to keep tweaking the handling to see how fast he can get a 485hp chassis to go. And it appears they already have themselves a winner with only suspension and rubber updates. Autobild tests 2010 GT-R equipped with Dunlop SP Sport 600 (premium package tires) defeats ZR1 on Contidrom test track (Germany). And the testers subjectively preferred the ZR1's driving dynamics. If anything, they were biased towards the Vette.
