Pulley, ported TB and oil pump, etc. - just misc. small stuff. My stock vette was 48K and the GT-R is 70+K so its not really a straight comparison. The GT-R vs. a Z06 is about the same. I have slightly better numbers than a Z for about 15K less. The GT-R will be a helluva car, but it isn't the world beater that it's being touted as. As I mentioned before, it will be interesting to see some track numbers on it with real world drivers behind the wheel.
here we go again
Vette guys talking about the prices
I guess you are "one of them"

I have had to reread this post several times. You said you "have slightly better numbers than a Z for about 15K less". Then it finally dawned on me, you called the Z06 a Z. That really confused me since Z cars are Datsun/Nissan. My mind kept trying to make it be a Z when you were talking Vette. At $15k less than a Z, that'd put a Vette at $15k and we know that's not happening. How dare you try to make me do math in my head. LOL! I'm all back up to speed again.

Vette - 400HP - $45 - $50K
GT-R - 480/507HP - $71K
Z06 - 505HP - $75K
That's it. As you can see, the Z06 and GT-R are very similar in price, power, and performance, while a stock (base) vette is significantly less in all categories.

Nope. It was mentioned earlier that a stock GT-R should be compared to a stock Vette. I'm just pointing out that it would be a more fair comparison if it was a Z06 vs. GT-R instead.

GT-R - 480/507HP - $71K
Z06 - 505HP - $75K

Toss in the 2010 370Z at 350HP - $35-37k. Still have money left for mods to get it up higher than the Vette for still less money.

With that, I will bow out of this thread.
