I reckon the reason why the GTr doesn't look quite right for a sports car is the roof line. The driver must sit pretty high for the height and lack of angle that windscreen has
 
For GT5 I would say the GT-R.
In real life I'd go with the Vette.

I can appreciate the GT-R in that's it's obviously a technological marvel but it's not a car I would spend my money on.

The GT-R seems to be more of a "numbers car" vs. A driver's car. It's great for running quick laps but not so great in terms of a driver enjoyment.

Some people my favor the GT-R for not requiring as much skill to drive but I'd rather be the one doing the driving vs. the computers.

I'd take a Porsche Cayman S or BMW E92 M3 any day over a GT-R. I of course wont run as fast lap times but I would enjoy my time behind the wheel much more.

I think the ZR-1 is great for the track but like the GT-R wouldn't be my first choice of cars to buy in real life for much of the same reasons. The main one being that it's not so great to drive unless you're going balls to the wall around a race track.

This seems to be the same story with most budget sports cars and super cars though. They're fine about the race track but sub par as a daily driver.
 
I found the standard Corvette to be an excellent road car, well mannered, plenty of fun at legal speeds and can only imagine the ZR1 to be even more of a good thing. Granted, the ground clearance, insurance rates and fuel economy could be better and the two-seater layout may not be ideal for soccer moms.

Wow that really tells the story doesn't it...

I agree that the R35 GT-R looks amazing in the flesh but you can't beat the look of the R34 in my opinion

the R34 also is a much rawer car... my tuned one is so loud at idle you can actually hear a lumpy growl from the motor... and then u stomp on it and itll screech all 4 tires and explode with a viciousness you can only get from a monster RB26DETT.. i gotta give it to that car its pretty addicting..
 
2010 Nissan GT-R Spec V: US $170,000
2010 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1: US $107,830

I really wish people would get this straight. I'm tired of hearing "Oh yeah the Spec V is affordable."
It's not. The regular GT-R is affordable. Correct me if I'm wrong...

The ZR1 is my grinding car, lol. PD should make the price of this car 20,000,000 because that's how much its worth. LMAO

43.3's at Indy....Thats all you need baby. Crank up the trance music and take a little nap at 210 mph.

The GT-R Spec V is great racing/street car. A fully tuned one gets the same lap times as a Super GT car. If your into road legal car racing online like I am, the only one faster is the Mclaren F1. The other Mclaren sucks (mclaren mp4-12c) dont bother with it. A tuned BMW 135i gets faster laps then that $600,000 hunk of waste.
 
Have to go with the ZR1. I just love Corvettes, period, and have multiple versions of each model in the game.

The GTR is very fun too though.
 
Im a nissan fanatic, and as much as i love the gt-r, the zr-1 is alot more fun to drive, so zr-1(though i hate to say it).
 
I always prefer proper rear wheel cars than AWDs set to rear, used the Z06 and ZR-1's in last few racing games i've had and prefer that little bit of back end sliding out round corners. GT-R is great for precision tho

Imported cars are always more expensive.
For example, 'Vette ZR-1 here in Serbia would be probably arround 180000 euros with 4000 euros registration fee each year.

Yeah, but he's saying they're not in the same price bracket, regardless of the reason. A standard GTR costs roughly the same as a ZR1, a SpecV does not. $60,000 difference is a heck of a lot.

That's like deciding between a base Chevy aveo and a loaded M3.

You don't get me, 'Vette in the US is around 100 grand whilst a 'Vette here would be over 150 grand.
That's roughly the same difference beetween GTR SpecV and the 'Vette in the US.
Here in Europe, the GTR SpecV and the Corvette ZR1 would cost about the same, 15 grand more or less at most (most likely the ZR1 would be more expensive).

Yes, but now we speak about the virtual life. The question is, if its any point to buy these exotic cars in europe, when the lifestyle differs so much from the us. Used GT-R or new isnt affordable for most people, read on the gt-r forums, and see what expensive this car is to own. I bet no one on this forum can afford a real life gt-r. And if you can afford it, why are you playing gt5 then? I dont own a car in real life, but im smart enough to not spend 100 grand on a box with four wheels. These people buying this exotic sportscars, they dont know anything about mechanics, they just buy cars for status, they could migh aswell buy a sodapop.

Captain Generalizations? Is that you? If we're throwing out anecdotes and useless generalizations, every single exotic or premium car owner I've ever owned purchased the car because they loved it or wanted the performance it offered, not because of the status.

MP4-12C is amazing, especially when it's fully tuned to 800+ horses. Did you drive the car backwards?
 
Both cars are amazing machines. Both are beautiful, powerful, and all around breath taking. But, I prefer the rear wheel drive. Also, being raised around American muscle cars, I've always loved Corvettes. So, I vote for the Vette.
 
As I expected the GT-R leads, but by such a small margin. OP had an eye for a duel.

I chose GT-R. Prefer Vipers over Vettes anyways.
 
I went with Vette. It can win in Like the Wind against the super cars. I doubt if the GT-R can hang. Although I haven't tried it, it just doesn't seem capable. Tune that ZR-1 right and it handles very nicely and its accelerates beautifully.
 
GTR.

Zr-1 costs 219 800 EUR in finland while a gt-r black edition is 137 900EUR... So give me the gtr plz... I can however get a mint condition r34 tuned to 450bhp with z-tune style bodyparts for 40 000EUR :-)
