![]() ![]() Great car for a V6, amazing what Nissan did with that car. GTR Nismo (most track capable) is about double the cost of the Z06 and about 5 seconds slower. As your only car to drive every day, the GT-R is probably the better choice. If you have another car like an SUV and this will be mostly for fun driving, the Z06 is the more fun "second car". I honestly took a good year of GT-R ownership, plus some mods, before I completely feel in love with it, now I love it as much as my Vette just due to it's breadth of ability. Which one to buy? If you can, drive them both, but the GT-R may leave you cold after just a short drive. The Vette likely is observed as more-flashy by the majority of regular folks. Only car enthusiasts know what it is, and they will respect the car. 95% of the population just thinks it's a gray, sporty $40,000 Nissan, so if I leave it someplace I'm not worried about anyone messing with it. However, I feel more comfortable parking the GT-R. But I get kids pulling out cell phones when I'm in both. I'd say my black Z07 package Z06 gets more comments and attention though. Haven't run them side-by-side yet, but I expect a very close race.īoth cars get lots of attention. My GT-R made 574whp/588tq with FBO and my Z06 makes 580rwhp/568tw with just an Xpipe, BMS filter and Mamo TB. Where-as the Z06 is only a weapon when the road conditions are perfect. The GT-R can also do a 3-second 0-60 on a 20 degree day on winter tires or in the rain, so it is ALWAYS usable, which is something I have really grown to love about it. The GT-R is faster from 0-60 due to the AWD. The Vette handles slightly better, stops better and would be better around a road course. But the A8 is fine if left to shift itself. However, if you like to shift manually, the DCT is fantasticly responsive in R-mode and the A8 is not even worth using the cheap plastic paddles it's so bad. GT-R DCT is much smoother post-2015, but still won't be quite as smooth in stop and go as the A8. ![]() But the build quality is close.Ĭomfort is pretty close between the cars. Both cars feel solid, and while the C7 interior is very nice and the best Vette yet, I think the GT-R feels just slightly like it is built better. ![]() Replace those with MPSS when they are done and you'll be fine though. And the OEM GT-R Dunlop tires only last about 12K miles. GT-R also needs a trans/diff flush every 36K miles which costs $2,000 at a dealer. GT-R does go through brakes quicker due to the weight. And my Vette is a 7spd, so the auto will likely be worse than that.Ĭan't comment on reliability with the Vette, but the GT-R has been flawless. I have averaged 17 in the Vette and 19 in the GT-R. It's loud in track mode from the factory, lights the tires up at 50mph, looks more aggressive, sits low like a sports car, and is just overall a better "fun" car than a GT-R.Īs for gas mileage, both are not great. And still quiet at cruise, reliable and a perfect daily.Ī bone-stock C7Z will be more exciting. The noise is exciting with burbles, turbo sounds, BOV sounds, lots of fun. I recently went the FBO (full bolt-on) route with AMS downpipes/mp, 3" intakes, exhaust, injectors, tune, etc, and besides it being much faster, the car now has real character to it. It's an excellent daily driver comfy, quiet, awd, good stereo, etc, but except for the acceleration, which is rapid, it doesn't really get the blood flowing. I've put 2,000 miles on my Z06 since I got it and generally use my quick cars as much as possible.Ī bone-stock GT-R, at least for me, was not a terribly exciting car. I've also owned three C5 Vettes and just got my 2015 Z06 in March. ![]() So if my 2018 2lz z06 auto were to go head to head with a stock 2018 Nissan GT-R which car will have its pros and cons where? Comfort? Performance? Daily driver reliability and gas mileage? Id like to hear the good, bad and ugly without any bias if possible.So I've had my 2015 GT-R for 2 years and 27K miles as my all-year daily. I know most people on this forum love the vettes first but I also know many who have owned other nice cars and can give an honest opinion after writing a check with their own money. ![]()
