Video: MT five-figure supercar comparo pits Corvette Z06 vs. Shelby GT500 vs. GT-R
Motor Trend is determined on finding the best budget supercar. Ford, Chevrolet and Nissan increased the challenge with the 2011 Shelby GT500, 2011 Corvette Z06 and 2012 GT-R. Total cost of the vehicles in the 1,585-horsepower shootout used? $ 244,290 ... or $ 37,040 less than the 570-horsepower Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera $ 281,330, we tested in 2010. Perspective, people.
This comparison is not high-dollar exotics, however, because M / T for the best sub-$ 100,000-looking performer. The 2012 Nissan GT-R develops 530 hp from the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6. The American muscle machines perfer V8 power with the turbocharged 5.4-liter GT500 produce 550 horses and the 7.0-liter Z06 pumping 505th
The Shelby GT500 is certainly the best value for your dollar due to the $ 55,330 as tested price tag. But both the Z06 ($ 98,010 as-tested) and GT-R ($ 90,950) offer equally good performance at a relative bargain.
Motor Trend took all three super-coupe to the drag strip and the streets of Willow road course, the winning car is not much of a surprise. (hint: it's not American) but the resulting videos can be observed still funny. Click past the jump for clips of the drag race and the road test, then the head of Motor Trend to read about the test.
