Which would you choose???

With all the talk about this Nissan GTR I was wondering which car you guys would rather have.

1. Nissan GTR
2. Dodge Viper
3. Chevy Corvette ZR1

With all the hype over the GTR and the latest Viper getting such great comments, now the ZR1 being so crazy which one would you want....

Regardless of power, I prefer the styling of the Corvette over the others.

ZR1. The Nissan is ugly and chances are it won't perform as desired, and I've never liked any Viper of any year.

Both wrong, the original Grand Sports will be the kings of all time.


It was a hard choice for me. I like the GTR, and I grew up loving the Viper, and the Corvette hasent really tickled my fancy, even with the LS7 or thie LS9, but the viper needs a revamp, the Nissan has too many gadgets in it to make it spin its tires, as to where the vette is simple, yet nastey as hell. So the vette gets my vote

the nissan isnt even an option as far as I'm concerned. I'd much rather have something a little more wicked. that being said, I'll take the vette. although, the viper is tempting, what with me working for chrysler and all

I would never consider the Nissan. Viper is alright, but that ZR1 is downright awesome.

ZR1
I've never liked the Viper, and to me the GTR is just a glorified 350z.

I know Im going to get in trouble for this but.... read this article, but more importantly, towards the bottom of the reunion of the Grand Sports. I have seen 40% of those cars so far. The two cars in the back of the photo are the ones I have seen so far, and i have the pics to prove that Ive seen one of them and I taped the other. now the one im gonna show you is not supposed to be shown ot the public...but its been almost a year so here it is.



and heres its 377ci 550hp engine




the other one is on tape, I didnt take pics of it, and it wasent racing, noone races these anymore which pisses me off a little but w/e.

id buy the GTR at $40gs cheaper than the vette...that gives me $40gs to tune the hell out of it and then eventually smoke the ZR1...

I would never buy a Nissan car. Maybe a truck but not a car. Put me down for the ZR1. Vettes are just sexy.

for everyday drivability , i'd go with the GTR (well if i had a choice, i'd get the R33 GTR with mods)....but there's something to be said about the simplicity of the Viper........
