I agree. The GTR and ZR1 are both great cars, and definitely not "plastic poop boxes". The back and forth was funny.

That being said, I cringe every time I see a GTR club at Cars & Coffee because I've always believed those owners have the least eye pleasing super car around.

who told you there is no warranty? i've got loads of mods and i've never had a warranty issue, including a front axle issue probably caused by 632awhp and launches. common misconception.

Well I thought my initial post explained it but here goes:

Yes that is his car. The photo was taken at a Corvette show back on 9/25where his car was basically the main attraction. The girls are servers from a restaurant called 'The Tilted Kilt' which is about 50 feet from where the car is sitting.

I like ZR WON

ZR WON is super slick . I think a zr1 and gtr are both great cars in different ways but -Blake - Drew first blood by calling it a plastic car. Its made out of fiberglass to save weight and im sure you know that. With all that being said Ive been in both cars and to say the least the ZR1 is FAR more exhilarating...In EVERY way...

Actually, most of the body panels on the ZR1 are carbon fiber. And not the stick on vinyl stuff either

Lol...sorry dude. Please forgive my ignorance. Some of the pretty looking girls posing with the ZR1 distracted me from reading what you wrote. My bad.

And seriously, ''ZR WON'' sounds cheesy but hey what the heck, go for it as it would be kind of funny in a good way.

Not trying to be a dick, but calling out the ZR1, seriously? You have nothing for it based on your GTR's results.

I saw a CTS-V coupe with the zr1 engine in it and the tag was ZR1CADY

I think 997 LOL is the funniest so far.
