Here's an edmunds comparison between the following on the track and the street:
GTR
Audi R8
Mitsubishi Evo X MR
Porsche 911 Carrera
Lotus Elise SC
Subaru WRX STI
(Shown in the order they were ranked)

If you click on the link to the video at the top of the page you can see the video comparison and results... The GTR apparently dominated, but I'd take the R8...

Before the GT-R came out, everyone was comparing it to the Z06. Simply because it could take over the "bang-for-the-buck" title.
Still haven't seen a Z06 vs GT-R head to head match up.

Strange list of cars they chose to put the GT-R up against.

In the article it says:
"... there's only one genre missing from this otherwise comprehensive list ? the big-power, rear-drive supercar. But it wasn't for a lack of trying.
Fact is, we asked Chevy for a 2008 Corvette Z06 and we asked Dodge for a 2008 Viper SRT10, but both refused to loan us their cars ? presumably because we'd be testing their best metal against the almighty GT-R.
Sniff, sniff. Does somebody smell chicken?"
The results also quote and link to an article that says the GT-R is faster than the 911-Turbo

After reading the M3, 911 Turbo, and GT-R comparo. The GT-R is a little hyped up, not saying it isn't amazing.
It was touted as the 911 Turbo killer. Both cars were tested on the same day, same conditions. The 911 turbo had the fastest 0-30, 0-60, 0-140 and the fastest 1/4 mile. It also had the best 70-0 braking and skidpad numbers. And to boot, the 911 turbo had the best gas mileage.

I could care less what the article says. How hard is it to get a hold of a Z06? Please...

your right... the GTR is getting alot of hype because of the price of the car... the 911 over all is a much better car.. no question.... but at the same time the GTR is SLEEPER and the reason they didnt get the z-06 and the viper is because they know dam well that the GTR is going to spank both in qulity off the line power over all as well... there will be test very soon against the z-06 and viper... its in the works as we speak... rest asured that the GTR is going to give those two a run for the money.....
I have never owned a light weight sports car but have owned a car similar to the GTR (Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4). Its AWD, all wheel steering, active aero, etc were amazing and gave it fool proof high limits handling but the car was critized for being over weight and non-responsive.

I'm curious, how old are you and what is your highest level of education?
