I totally agree with you, I don't think there's a slush box from GM that could survive very well and maintain a decent warranty profile...unless you put in an Allison 6-speed...but the weight is too much...The Z is very quick on the hiway and with navigation, heated seats and dual zone climate control...it's a nice "touring" car as well. Not to mention that 1st gear is good for 62 mph. What this translates to is the fact that I drop down to 2nd gear on the freeway (70mph rolls) and let her rip

Speaking of the GTR here's a video that shows both cars...but I have lots of respect for the twin turbo V6 in the GTR...its' something that GM never had a chance to do if the Grand National had a chance to evolve!

YouTube - New GTR R35 VS Corvette C6 Z06 Race in Oman.
GM could easily build a similar twin turbo V6, will they?? Probably not for us, but the Holden brand in Australia. Automatic clutch setup would be much better at the drag strip for sure! Thanks for the vid, Nissan has again built a badass sports car with an awesome powerplant, but the Z still does well enough with the old tried and true OHV V8.

I validate equipment and systems that make anticancer drugs

Oh might as well add that I prove to the government that my drug dealer status adheres to their guidelines that we won't kill anyone and is unadulterated.

Ya, the sound of an 11:1 compression, 427cubed V8 is pretty intoxicating around 7 grand
