it's offical zr1 only does a 7:40 around the nurburgring track. gtr 35's time is 7:38. cheeze zr1 can't even beat a gtr 35, how how would it stand against spec-v. spec-v will looking to improve the track time.

Reliability... How many Nissan skyline engines has been blown? Mmm. I love nissan, because of the reliability. Never redone any engine.I drove one of them for more than 159000 Miles, with only me changing the oil, the breaks and plugs.I pushed it 7000rpm's each day (Was young). Really tried to break it it would seem. Overheated 3 times. (Waterpipes)Never opened the engine. Raced at least 3 times a week. THAT in anybodies books is reliable.Bet you never had a nissan?

Im terribly sorry but this ZR1 nring lap is nothing more than a pathetic PR attempt. GM doesnt have enough money to keep operating at a loss for too much longer.

i dont get it you say the gtr never lost yet the lap time says it did. and then you say check out wikipedia well last time i checked I personally could write whatever i wanted in wiki and state it as fact.

gtr never lost. zr1 cheated on time and they modded car heavily check out wikipedia. versus gtr which was stock besides race tires.

the gtr loses not because of top speed but because of weight. that thing is 4,000 lbs man! not to mention the vette has a bigger and better engine. all these people spouting reliability is rubbish its a nissan not a toyota folks.
