Excusing the Z06 for wheel alignment, dumpers, etc is just lame.
There is plenty of variables to play with in GT3 and Nismo, too. It would never end so the first hit results are what should be considered.
To compare from their earlier episode GT3's lap time was 1:27.2 and Z28 1:29.72.
So in proper order:
1. Nismo 1:25.70
2. Z06 1:27.10
3. GT3 1:27.22
GT3 was tested on a different day so it would be nice to see head to head battle GT3 vs Z06.

Exactly. I left as a Senior Member on Corvette Forums simply because Vette guys simply don't want to hear any dissenting opinions outside saying everything Vette and GM is spectacular. You become attacked at every turn, and not even nice debate ensues any questioning of the product. These members were saying the GM 8 speed outperforms DCT even before the product came out. Thats why the delay in production for the auto occurred, because it was so well sorted out before rushing it to market. I had enough.
