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: 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.
