jesus, i don't like bashing people, but you're very foolish. If a V6 produces this kind of performance STOCK, then I commend Nissan and the design team for their work. I'd still rather buy an E90 M3, black on black.
Are you serious? How old are you? 8? I am dying of laughter over here @ "Porshe can have cars with v6's because they have more technology."!!! Too bad Jap cars like the STi work Porsche 911's and GT3's in corners, yet they're only 32k...
Neither the Z06 nor this car are anything but awesome. The Z06 is a $65,000 car that has been clocked at 3.4 seconds to 60. And this car is a $70,000 car that I would put money on it being able to pull 3.2 seconds to 60. I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just defending your point and the Z06 simultaneously. And the GT-R is so fast because of its intelligent 4WD system (it detects where power is most needed and puts it on those wheels). That will knock probably a full second off of the 0-60 time over either form of two wheel drive.
AAAAHAHARARARHARHARARAR!!!!! 3.2 TO 60??!?!?? POT DOWN YOUR DOLLAS, BISH! THIS CARE IS RUNNING SLOWER THAN A BMW TO 60, FRO SURE!!! TOO HAVEY AND NO POWER AND TOO MUCH TRACTION AND TOO MUCH INTERIOR, ROOF STAYS ON WITHOUT FLYING OFF AND ISN' BILT AS GROOD AS A Z06!!?!?!!!
For those of you who call the GTR a tank, consider this: it does weigh 3800 pounds (473hp) and the Z06 weighs around 3200 pounds (500hp), a difference of 600 pounds, the GTR did manage a better lap time on the Nur at 7:38 vs. 7:42 for the Z06.

The Vette & Viper have some serious competition now, they're all relatively in the same hp/price range.

It still is a tank...A fast tank, but a tank nonetheless...3800lbs is a lot compared the what the R34 used to weigh... The funny thing about the Viper and Vette, is that Dodge beefed up the power but the vette is still spanking it.
