Dude are you serious. The comment about a GTR being faster than a Zo6 had me cracking up. Gtr is an inferior car on the streets. Oh its fast around the Ring... Bla Bla Bla... A zo6 can break the 130mph mark with relative ease. Enough said.
And the C5 you raced was a cow

I mean the Z06. I know exactly what the Z06 looks like. It has the vent near the door handle, which isn't on the C6. There're a lot of reviews comparing between the GTR and the Z06 and they all say the GTR wins. If you look up youtube and type in GTR vs Z06, it'll take you hours just to finish watching all reviews by professional drivers. The GTR can launch from 3.3 - 3.6 second for 0-60 depending on the driver. And some of them managed to run high 10, flat or low 11 seconds for 1/4 mile. The Z06 has a really have hard time to run that.

Even a 11 psi of boost on the SC400 that runs 12.5 seconds for 1/4 mile can beat the Z06. To be honest, I think the Z06 driver in the clip didn't know how to drive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFHQH-Aruj0

I've just gone to the CL track event last Sunday and seen a lot of IS-F taken to the tracks. They're just a little quicker than the IS350. Many IS-F couldn't get faster than 8.5 seconds for the 1/8 mile track. Here's the link: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/cl-...etrospect.html

I think you guys are way beside the point. A straigth line is obviously not where the GT-R shines. It will run laps around a Z06 all day, every day, with my 10-year-old nephew driving it.
Straigth line acceleration does not require massive amounts of skill. I do not rate a car by how fast it can get through the quarter mile, but by how fast it can make it around the Nurburgring. Fastest time I've found for the revised, 2010 R35 GT-R is 7:27. Fastest time for the C6 Z06 was 7:42.
Case closed.

99% of the time the point is going to be a GTR getting Walked by most decently fast cars.

This is very true. The GTR isnt a straight line car. But then again you have to realize that he lives in Texas. Taking this into consideration you have to think about what cars dominate there... Light weight, High Hp cars that trap 135-140+. Most people dont realize what it takes to be one of the fast guys nowadays.

The GT-R still does 0-60 in under 4 seconds. Not sure if it has much top end though, but it does have a 400-something hp engine which should be more than enough.
According to zeroto60times.com:
2009 Nissan GT-R 0-60 mph 3.2 Quarter mile 11.4
2008 Nissan GT-R 0-60 mph 3.4 Quarter mile 11.6
2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 0-60 mph 3.7 Quarter mile 11.8
2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 0-60 mph 3.6 Quarter mile 11.7

Oh and I just took out spare tire, but I do have the carbon fiber trunk, and the Brembo Gran Turismo kit...but I ran with my body kit!!! LoL 
Oh and the fastest tuned GT-R right now on pump gas is 710awhp, race gas would be 750awhp...@_@

The Z06 is a fast car with good handling is no doubt. But to say it's better than the GTR really needs reconsideration.
Philip,
Here you are to push the limit of your GTR.

If your in Texas, <700whp isn't going to get you noticed much.
How much track time are you *actually* going to see. Everyone is going to spout about ring times, but that means about this much.... " " just that tiny space bar amount in reality.
If on total $/hp/lat g You'll be hard pressed to beat a C6Z; 305/345 hoosier r6's; Moton clubsports, ARE 4 stage drysump, heads&cam, StopTechs... your not going to have many issues with competitors on a track.
Granted, you put similar stuff on the GTR and it'll do quite well too; but that $30K in price difference will let you pick up a Formula Mazda and slap the hell out of them both.
Personally, I prefer the C6Z as I have a lovely RFZ specimen. But really, it depends on your goals. All out performance? No cost limit? Yearly consumables budget? Never going to modify? Because if your going to mod it, then screw getting a C6Z and just get a base C6 and modify to your hearts content; there are quite a few thinly disguised C6 road race cars in the DFW area; let alone 1xxx hp monsters like Bonds.
