The GTR, like it or not, is the upper end of the sub-100k performance market when it boils down to absolute numbers. Be it through a computer controlled attempt at the driving experience or not, the car can flat out lay down numbers.

I have seen things around with people bagging on how it launches or drives, but I put most of that to the fact that it is a very thinly veiled race car really. Most of the complaints I have seen involve what turned out to be the cars one expected weak point, the transmission. I guess all of the little pretend Mario Andretti's are being abusive right out of the box and finding their way back to dealerships well before the 500 mile recommended break in period has expired.

The Z06 defeinitely has the styling advantage and no import is going to measure up to the happy dance a V8 exhaust causes in your pants, but if you wanna play the bang for the buck performance numbers game, the GTR is at the top right now.

BTW, the GTR has to be one of the ugliest friggin cars I have ever seen.
