A week ago, word spread around that the new and reinvented 2012 Nissan GT-R managed to post the fastest Nurburgring lap time among all of the Godzillas that have run a fast lap in the world-famous race circuit. It actually slashed off 2.48 seconds off of the previous best – 7:26.00 seconds - for a GT-R, posting a time of 7:24.22 seconds. Impressive as the numbers are, the question that a lot of people have been asking is how the 2012 GT-R can compete with the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. While the numbers should be close, we found a ‘top-bottom’ comparison video that should put all the debates to rest. It runs the full-length of a Nurburgring lap so it’s over seven minutes long. But if you really want to know which sports car holds bragging rights over the other, then the video is a must-see for you. We’re gonna give you a little spoiler, though. This lap-time showdown between the GT-R and the ZR1 is a lot closer than you think. Check out the video and find out who can lap the Nurburgring faster than the other. .

 Even on the start of the race I would say that that Corvette drive fast and smooth in the track. Corvette makes a great torque and faster in the straightline!
 Hmm, this one is quite a thrilling race. I wonder what sort of matchups they would come up with next. A race between the Impreza WRX and the Veloster would be a good idea.
 Yeah, the ZR1 does have a good set of numbers when it comes to performance. But the GT-R is also very impressive, which is why they are so evenly matched.
 Yeah, what you say guys are all true. However, Corvette ZR1 is the most powerful and successful brand ever! The specs of the car is quite impressive so I don’t think that we have to underestimate this car.
 Well, even if the GTR has lost in the race, I still believe on the reliability of the car. BTW, Nissan has the Godzilla attached to its name, so most probably this car is a beast on the track!
 Just one question, are these two cars both standard version, or have they tweaked them? I am just wondering how the race would go if they use stock vehicles.
 Well, this one goes to show that the GT-R is certainly improving a lot in terms of of speed. But that one is not really surprising, considering the amount of work that they have done on the car.
 I agree mazeking, what you have said is exactly correct. Winning on the race depends in the talent of the driver and the performance of the car. However,you have a point Tarout82, even if the GTR lose i still believe on the reliability of this car!
