480hp and even less torque is underpowered for a car weighing almost 4k lbs with AWD that costs roughly 80k. | If you think 480HP is going to move a car weighing 2 tons through the 1/4 mile in the 11 second range, you've got to do some more research. Especially one with the added parasitic drag of AWD which is NOT an advantage when we're talking about acceleration. It's pretty obvious that the GTR is under-rated by a huge margin. And how does the Z06 compare on the track?
I'm not knocking the Z06, I love the car infact, but I find it odd that you think it's such a great car when it posts similar performance characteristics with similar price points, yet somehow the GTR is the one that's overpriced and under powered. Sounds like typical domestic fanboyism to me.
