Don't get your hopes up. It won't be good since you are used to S2K by now. Everything feels like a fat sea creature to me now too.

). I already know from my experience that the interior feels noticeably more upscale than the Accord. So for the test drive, I specifically want to see if the TLX is quieter than the Accord, if the handling is better than the Accord, and if the DCT is better than the CVT. I want to see if the extra $3k or so is worthwhile. Anyway, this is a GT-R thread and I feel that I'm getting way off topic here......

i'd probably still give the edge to the GTR in a 1/4 drag race. AWD+Computer > RWD on street tires.
Z06 will most likely catch up and walk away after that.
But wait for the new GTR.

Comparing track times from the Road Atlanta tests, the top-model Z06 performs about the same as a 2012 GTR. Will have to watch for more results from other tracks.
for the Z06, Randy Pobst got 1:30.18 (Motor Trend), and Andy Pilgrim did 1:29.88 (AutoWeek).
Quickly looking online there is a fellow Mike Skeen who ran 1:29 in a stock 2012 GTR (with stock tires).

The trap speeds which are comparable to the GTR don't give me any reason to believe that the Z06 would gain an advantage over the GTR on a track with higher top speeds.

what i meant is because of the torque and power advantage of the new Z06, it is reasonable to assume that the instant acceleration coming out of a corner will be faster than the GTR.
What makes GTR great is the 0-60 launch and 1/4 race as well as the ability to maintain speed through corners but in a rolling start (40-150),a stock GTR is really not THAT fast comparing to some of the cars it is aiming for.

The Nismo version is a bit more insane. But the standard one is becoming more of a grocery getter, just to reach a wider audience and make more sales. I gather the drive is a bit softened in the 2015 edition. On the other hand the Nismo edition is the one you want, the insane, not smooth, one!

I thought it was confirmed that the next GTR will be a hybrid?

nope but you just sounded like him. I think it was your choice of words.
That car was an iconic flagship for an exploding car marque.
Even the current gen R8 doesn't match up to the origin

Not feeling the silver trim on the grille (easily changed), and not at all fan of the tan interior (especially the steering wheel 
, probably much better in black), but otherwise
