Its tough for anyone to tell you since, nobody has really ever even been in these cars... I say go to the dealerships and drive both, see which one you have more fun in.......then look into the aftermarket to see which one you will enjoy modding more. I think the GT-R's aftermarket is going to explode once people crack all the electronics, but at the same time you could have a lot of fun with that SC on the ZR1!! I'm biased towards nissans and turbos, but thats just me..

The GTR is going to be a great car....but there is NO FREAKIN WAY I would pay over MSRP for a Nissan.

Maybe find one in a year or so......

- 997 GT3 seats in CF (You can lift these with fingers, and they are very rigid)
- Rear wiper and wiper motor delete
- Rims.
- Remove rear sub woofer (if you can call it that) cabinet
- PCCB's.

It's the fourth picture in the second post:

I have been told they are going for just under 10K a seat right now. They are very light, very comfortable and very rigid, not flex and I'm over 200lbs.

Yes, I heard current prices are just under 10K a seat or something like that. I didn't pay nearly that much though!

Been a nissan fan all my life...

That said, there is no comparison. ZR1.

They blew it with the GT-R just like they blew it when they built the "350Z". I don't know who is designing Nissan's cars, but I'm clearly NOT their target audience these days.

I agree somewhat, the R35 looks softer than the R32-34. Those machines were hard core looking. Some angles make the GT-R look awesome and then some make it look aweful, they should have kept the prototype fascia.

Either way it looks gigantic next to any cars I've seen it next to.

I'd get the GTR. It's probably going to be a better built car and I dont I think you will see 20+ of them on the road everyday.

...then again I have never been a chevy fan...

Question Which One?

I have become a big believer in AWD for cars of 400+ HP
to be used as a driver.

GTR is my Vote!

GT-R.
it's fast. carries 4 people and looks infinitly better than the ZR-1 (but that's my subjective opinion).

GT-R looks like a tank. There isnt a Japanese car ever that can compare with the looks of a Corvette IMO. Build quality is another issue.
