      CF what a bunch of babies. The whole moving threads bit is the same type of shit VCA would do.

      Oh good Lord they’re going to start jumping off buildings over there.
      They were betting the farm on world record track times…

      I like how the new excuse is…”too much downforce”. I guess no one bothered to notice the 3rd car on the list. Yep, 08 ACR. Turned a 126:00. So, 50 less HP, 6 speed manual, and 1000 lbs of DF @ 150 mph is STILL faster then the new, world beating, end all, cure all C7 Z06. Pretty sad bunch over there.

      The Datsun was amazing however. Surprised me with that laptime for sure.

      Nissan is heavier, less rated hp, and faster around the track than the Corvette C7 Z06. Someone posted it on Corvetteforum, and they promptly removed it to the off-topic section. Imagine that.

      Interesting that the Corvette’s higher figure-8 lateral grip and max g-forces do not translate to quicker lap times. The Corvette guys that have been clinging to those stats might need something else to talk about now.

      1/4-mile
      Nissan 11.0 @ 126.6
      Vette 11.4 @ 124.4

      2.42 mile Willow Springs w/ Pobst driving
      Nissan 1.25:70
      Vette 1.27:10

      That is a pretty big difference. Figure each tenth of a second is approx a car length. The GT-R finished 280 ft ahead of the Corvette.

      This quote also hurts:

      “Add to that the Z06’s tendency to get hot after one lap and the computer’s decision to reduce power to compensate, and you have a lap slower than expected.”

      I do agree with the writers though, the GT-R isn’t as good looking, and they really are boring to drive. But, you can’t deny how fast they are!
