Father In A C7 Z06 'Vette Takes On His Son In A R35 Nissan GT-R - gallery

Now was a duel between a father-son duo with daddy in the C7 Z06, while the son took the wheel of the R35 GTR

I know this because the son, Jonathan commented on this video put out by the wheels youtube channel. How I wish I knew more about the exact specs like additional mods, tires, etc

But since I don't have them, lets look at the base line numbers

In the red corner, we have this fiery red C7 Z06. Under the hood lies a supercharged 6.2-L V-8 mill that puts out 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. The Chevy tips the scales at 3560 lbs

The R35 GT-R looks like a 2013 model. Under the hood lies a 3.8-L Twin-turbo V-6 that in stick guise put out 545 hp and 463 lb-ft of torque. The Nissan with its AWD weighs more, coming in at 3829 lbs

This face-off went down at the Bandimere Speedway, up in Morrison Colorado

On every one of the three pass that the pair ran, the son in the GT-R gave his dad a hit of a couple of seconds

But despite this, the Z06 wasn't at its best to hold off the GT-R

Why? Because the elevation change and being at an altitude of over 5000+ with lower atmospheric pressure feet was not ideal for the Z06' supercharger

This would have been a much closer battle had it been at sea level where the boost on the supercharger wouldn't have been as affected
