I am all about the American Muscle, but I do have to admit that the GTR is definatly a contender and compared to the Z06 it definatly has its strong points. The Z06 looks about a million times better, even though I do find the rear of the GTR to be attractive with the taillights. The GTR does slightly out perform the Z06 and they have the same sticker price (as recenlty shown to me).

The big advantage I do see over the Z06 is that the GTR (if built like most any other Japeneese factory Turbo car) could easily handle more boost with the stock (or a larger aftermarket) Turbo's giving it a very inexpensive upgrade to gobs of extra power probable all on the stock motor. This is why Supra's are appealing to me as it has been shown time and time again that the stock motor will take enough boost to show 1,000 RWHP. This flat out amazes me, and it makes it desirable as well as who can't honestly say that they wouldn't want to throw a large Turbo on a car, and not have to touch the motor and make that kind of power. Not sure yet if the GTR's motor will take the same level of the abuse that a 2-JZE will in a Supra, but I would almost expect it to.
