Motor trend has an extensive comparison on these two powerhouse vehicles with a conclusion that is somewhat surprising. While the Nissan GT-R Nismo was faster around the track, the author of the article ended up choosing the Corvette Z06 for the pure driving enjoyment (not to mention it’s 2.3 the price of the GT-R). Here is a quote:
“When it came time to tally up the score, we found ourselves with a doozy. The Z06 is better in everyday life and performs better around a corner. The GT-R is faster at the track and in a straight line. The cars are about equal on a good road. How do we choose? I put it to Randy first, asking which he liked better. His answer: “The Corvette. The GT-R is too boring in its efficiency (on the track). But if I wanted to set a lap, I’d take the GT-R.”
Which would you chose?
