R8's get raped by everything... and I do mean everything. Heard it is a great handling car but for 100k + for "handling"

It's scary fast. For the price range that it's in, it's the best performer out there.

I respect the power for sure, but I can't get past the looks.

It's faster than a Z06.

WOW.

.......That's power.

Must be the 4WD.

The Z06 is significantly lighter though, isn't it? And comes with 505 hp? That shocks me.

From the dig... GTR. A roll at any speeds I would say ZO6, all day long.

The AWD helps that car a lot. Look at the Top Gear test track times.

The GT-R was a beast.

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. The GTR definitely has the off the line advantage, but would imagine a Z06 would leave the GTR far behind after 100mph once it hooks up.

The AWD does help a lot. So does the under-rating of the engine. Various reports have the dynoed power all over the map. Being hand-built, and turbocharged...there's a healthy amount of power variation, leading to some cars with more than advertised.

I'm not talking about racing from 30 punch. I'm talking about real racing around a track.

Well that's around a track, what about in the 1/4 mile? Drag race videos have been done, the ZR1 leaves the GTR in a different time zone. In straight line performance the Z06 can't be far behind. Sure around track it has the Vett but straight line performance, it can't touch it.

That's what I was referring to when I said it's debatable.

Porche racers could not duplicate the gtr's times around the ring...the times they recorded were slower than the Z06s.

Real racing ? It would really depend on the track if we're talking "real" racing.

I don't know that it would.

Here's a comparison that R&T did with the GTR, ZR1 and 911 Turbo. The GTR was .8 slower around the track then the ZR1.

In 2008, the tested it against the Z06 and 911 and it was over 5 seconds faster than the Z06.
