Ok, you did say: "There have been Z06's that have ran 10's stock down to the paper air filter."
How many Z06's have there been?
GT-R may not be the only car available in the bang for buck category, but if you look at it objectively (as bang/buck proponents have been doing for years), then the GT-R delivers more performance for the money. In Motor Trend's test between the '12 GT-R and Z06 w/Z07 package, the Nissan was quicker, lapped faster, and cost $7K less than the Chevy.
If we're to make allowances for the Chevy due to GM's limitations, then we should make allowances for the Nissan to make up that $7k difference. In which case, it's not looking good for the Z07.
BTW, I'm not one of those proponents of bang/buck.

Thus with the "average Joe" driver using traction control in the Z07, I am sure the time difference between him driving the Corvette and a GT-R with its so called "nanny controls", would very much greatly favor the faster GT-R. Perhaps even seconds faster per lap.

C6 Z on the stock runflats? According to this list, only one: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-z...fast-list.html Another 7 have gone 10's on DRs.
Great cars, though. Might be the perfect car to compliment my GT-R with.

I know you understand being a previous GT2 owner of that feeling of reward when you get it right but with the thought in the back of your head about how close to death you were. I still think the GTR is an absolute terror when modified right....freeway wheelspin is fun but not very fast!
Note that these times were with a professional driver. He drove the Z07 without any traction control. He also did not recommend driving this car without it unless you were a professional driver.

11.02 1/4 Bone stock GT-R.
Must have been a professional driver on slicks, knowing the exact shift points, hitting the paddles with razor-like precision...
Umm, nope. Just an average joe in his first ever trip with it, running in auto mode.
