Spotted a white GTR Monday(3/23) at about 9:45am, headed northbound on 295 in NJ right near the Cherry Hill exit. Seemed to be moving at a good pace....Anyone?

I've seen two in NJ; a Silver one and a White one. The silver one lives/parks in Kendall Park.
I love those cars, but this was very disappointing: A modded one got spanked by a RENTAL Corvette (non Z06, automatic)

BTW the Lambo on the right of the GTR is twin turboed

ibrennan has a silver one and lives in NJ. Can't remember exactly where. Ian?

Ive seen a white one up around Somerville a few times

What was wrong with that GTR? Or its driver?

Garage 419 did a video of a Hertz Vette with Nitrous vs GTR at an 1/8 mile track and Hertz car lost each time.

dude comeon... 1/8th mile AWD w/ launch control vs a vette with nitrous and shitty tires I can't believe they thought it was a contest like the gtr dude said.

that other video was definitely like a mile race and I doubt the gtr launched.

I dont care either way so I'm not putting the GTR down, just saying... besides the GTR's strength is not straight line

Even without lauch control the gtr took the vette

Maybe this rental vette wasn't using the supplied runflats

I am not a fan of the GTR but I am surprised it didn't even get a jump at the start, thats all

I agree. I'm fairly confident my Subaru STI with just bolt on mods would take my 'Vette of the line with the tires I have on right now: you can only do so much with street tires before they start to spin...
If you watch the video you can see the GTR comes off the line quite softly; I think the driver actually cared about this car and didn't launch it. The Vette, as far as I know, is completely stock down to the tires, and is automatic; I rented one a while ago and the automatic transmission on it was such a piece of shit (slow vague shifts) that I actually brought it back a day early. That said, getting that thing to fly off the line perfectly every time was as easy as just pushing the gas down from idle: if you don't load up the torque converter it doesn't spin and comes off pretty fast; Car and Driver tested its 0 -60 at 4.1 seconds

I really liked that video of the rental 'Vette on nitrous Vs the GTR, but the guy doing the nitrousing was a moron; he ran the shot into the engine without any additional fuel or tuning and as a result got a MUCH slower time than the car normally runs bone stock; the ECU was probably pulling timing like crazy because of that shot.

I always see a silver one and a red one down here. The red looks to be very similar to the torch red my corvette is. I like how it looks.
