I would take the rawness & realness of the Vette Z06 over the robotic artificial GT-R. 6 speed baby! Had the pleasure of driving the Z06 at a few Vette events.. Nothing compares to the Z06 brute..

Or doing 120 in 3rd gear in an M5 around a slight bend in Maryland!

LOL.. I thought it was just me!
I'm thinking my contrast was too low and that didn't help either.

I like both of these cars. The near-exotic look of the Vette and all that pushrod power. Only it's cheap interior would be a concern.
The GTR with it's technologically created power and quality build...with it's complicated design being it's controversy.
Yeah, I dig em both.

well that's no fair right?

the gtr is the fat and slow in this race.

505hp vette, 3200lbs.
more torque than the gtr.

gtr weighs 3800, and in this particular video, the driver must've been an obese ****, making it no contest.

Picking one over the other is like picking Esther Baxter over Mylessa Ford. I'd hit both.
