I think that's the first street racing action of a GTR that I've seen. I expected the Z06 to win the roll races but I was shocked that it pulled like it did against the launch controlled GTR from a dead dig. Especially after seeing the silver GTR at the end show off it's launch control.

Impressive video. At least those Arab states buy cool cars with our oil money.

Nice! The driver in the Z0 seemed a little slow on the shifts too.

That's BS man, Pure BS. That video is like doctored or something or the Z was modded yeah that's it. No way a POS American car can out perform the greatest car ever built in the world period.

Wow, I have a feeling the more we see of REAL GTRs on the street and track the more we will see them losing to the Z06. You think Nissan was playing games with the media...hmmmm.

Well, they did it with the R33... why not the R35?

Where are all the GTR apologists?

Reality, it's crazy.

The GT-R lovers out there will complain that it's a street race, so there are too many variables to make a fair call.

However, if the GT-R won, I'd bet they'd all say what a superior car it is.

edit: NM, just youtube being cranky.

Looks like on a street race from a dig it would be pretty close until they hit 100mph or so..
