New HSV at AU$150,000 has a whopping 375kW (500HP) and 640Nm.

With this amount of power from the rear wheels there is no doubt it will beat the GTR and NSX. I think we need an upgrade from the GTR?

Not a chance. I can see it going up against the R33 7:59lap time which is a 12 year old lap time.

You have spoken too soon laddy. GTR is to Z06 as V spec is to ZR1. You are comparing apples and oranges. Both ZR1 and v spec numbers are going to creep into the low 20's...

Actually its GTR is to C6 as V spec is to Z06. Nissan is trying to get a sub 7:20 time with the v spec.

Um, I think you have mistaken...C6 covers the vette's from 2005 to present, C5 refers to vette's from 97-04, etc. Hence, C6 refers to both the ZR1 and the Z06.
