Let’s Talk Numbers: 2012 Nissan GT-R vs. 2012 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Since yesterday General Motors announced that the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 set a new Nurburgring lap record, we felt it was only right to put the car in a ‘Let’s Talk Numbers’ battle against its biggest competitor – the 2012 Nissan GT-R. For argument sake, we even added the Nurburgring for each car’s 2012 model year run on the Nordschleife.
Let’s get started.
