The 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 ($189,027 in Canada, $164,505 in the US) could be well described as a feat of American engineering, but how does it compete against the pinnacle of all-wheel drive speed from Japan? Today it’s up against a Nissan GT-R Nismo ($291,998 in Canada, $210,740 in the US) and a violently modified R34 GT-R that pushes over 1000 horsepower. Will the mid-engine layout and roaring American flat-plane crank V8 be enough to overcome the legendary Nissan turbo 6? Thomas is in the Corvette, James is in the GT-R Nismo, and our friend @OriginalAuto is piloting their R34. Get ready for some loud noises. Things don’t always go as you might expect in a drag race! Especially when a tuned GTR is in the mix…Watch to see what happens! SUBSCRIBE!
A huge thank you to @OriginalAuto for bringing out and piloting their R34

I died of laughter seeing the price of the R34 "More than you can afford pal" give the editor credit that person deserves a raise 😂
So he can afford it?
Rip then
"Many Torques" and "Extra Spicy"
Yeah that was funny...
Amen lol!!
The cockpit view during gearshifts on the R34! Pure madness!😂😂
It should not have been. With a sequential and a strain gauge like that one has. You want to snatch the lever and let go ASAP, as it detects the pull and cuts the ignition accordingly. As you can see the driver was holding on and the entire car was bucking and shocking the drivetrain.
Yeah bruv,madness cuz he aint capable to change the fkn gears on his own car.
@@raulBsxs manual ain't a special skill
The R34 def needs a driver mod.

The R34GT-R's interior view during upshifting is simply INSANE.
I can never be tired of looking at the presence of an R34 ever.

Given that the famous three British gents look to be close to retirement, I cannot express my gratitude that you two decided to create this channel.
And the fact that they don't even review cars any more.
they're not close to retirement. they're beyond.
If you're referring to Clarkson/Hammond/May, it sounds like Clarkson just got canned by Amazon for daring to write about a negative column about Harry & Meghan. So, Grand Tour may be done, too.
@@doug6191 negative is an understatement. Clarkson said he hates Meghan more than a famous serial killer??????
Cannot agree more
i’m actually surprised as to how well the R35 kept up with the C8 in the roll race. about 70 less bhp and weighs like 200 KG more. very impressive. also the shifts in that R34 were beyond insane
Bruh it’s 250k plus vs 166k the z06 is literally nearly 100k cheaper 😂
And the nismo is 200 lbs heavier get your facts right straight line racing doesn’t matter if the c8 z06 smokes it on track like the Nurburgring 🤦♂️
@@ericship8383 yes alright i accidentally read it as KG instead of Pounds sorry, that’s just a default setting
Sadly Z06 with Z07 package has way too much downforce. It falls flat on higher speed
@@ericship8383I know you didn’t mean to write 200lb beaver, but can we all just take a second to bask in the glory of autocorrects hilarious idiocy? 😂
There's just something about pre-2000's Era engines that sound so effin good. That mechanicalness, just good olf fashion building and tuning without all the electronic smoothing. Just love it.
The sound coming out of the R34 is Crazy!
As much as people like to complain about the R35 being so old, it's insane that it still keeps up with today's supercars (the Z06 is no slouch at all). Absolutely legendary. That R34 looks hella scary too hahaha. Awesome races. Edit: Can't believe how much of a debate/argument this comment has caused for such a long time. I'm not in any way saying anything negative about the Z06 or any other supercar. I'm also not talking about track performance, lap times, AWD, downforce, turbocharged vs NA, definitely not talking about looks and aesthetics, etc. The platform for the R35 GTR came out in 2007 which was over 15 years ago. The fact that that same platform with tuning and improvements over the years still manages to keep up (not beat, just keep up) with current sports cars, including some supercars is pretty incredible in my opinion. Also, I'm talking about the factory stock R35 Nimso. Not the modded R34 with 1000+ HP.
The r35 competes performance wise yes. But it’s looks went out of date 10+ years ago.

@@muffcabbage9742lol sounds like you're coming out in a gutter 🤡🤏
16+ years old and the Nissan GTR is still just as fast as todays cars.. shows how far ahead the GTR was in its prime. One car that will for sure go down in the automotive books as one of the best cars in history.
That GTR is 2023 not 2008
@@TheJosephayal Yes but the GTR has been the same exact R35 chassis for 16 years with nothing more than facelifts, and dashboard upgrades. While cars like the Corvette has already had TWO more generations of chassis improvements over the R35 Nissan.
Yea but you need to remember the GTR doesn't keep up with everything and there's been faster Corvettes than this too. The C7 ZR1 would make both the Nismo GTR AND the C8 Z06 look like they are standing still
Silly to even mention. It’s heavily modified. I can take an old cheap c5 corvette and make it an 8 second car for 10k invested… what’s that prove? Lol
Not really an accurate statement, thats a r35 nismo, not comparable to a regular r35, it's essentially a hea ily modified gtr and honestly for a fraction of the cost you can make MANY other cars faster
God. The R34 is timeless. It is a piece of art
Frankly I feel like it's a bit overstyled, compare that to the much simpler style of the R32 or the sloping lines of the R33 (which genuinely does not get enough love) and it just seems... much
true. I like it better than R32 or R33

My only real complaint about this video is it needs to be longer. Could literally watched you guys race these cars all day.
Did kinda forget how fast R35 is... though that tuned nutter R34 hooked up surprisingly well
Corvette and Nismo trying to compete, meanwhile R34 trying to break the sound barrier💀😂

R34 trying to break the sound barrier... and instead, just breaking.
That R34 is going to need its 3rd rebuild.
@@madpistol so did R32GTR and BMW M3 GTR.
People say GTR’s are overrated. But man, the GTR Nismo is no joke, a stock twin tubro V6 keeping up with exotic cars is crazy
I'm impressed by the fact that the pinnacle of the corvette lineage, is just another walk in the park for the r35 gtr.
The Nissan GTR R35 is like Lebron James. Been in the game for a long time and still handing out the smoke to all the new cars coming into the scene or at least hanging with the competition. The fact that it still competes with a lot of modern cars just shows the test of time of how great this car is. Yeah it’s extremely overpriced now but it still throws it down against any competitors in its path. Great video overall!
That exactly what I thought. Both of them are old, chunky, not elegant, have a lot of fanboys also haters. But both of them still perform well.
Not stock. After you put 50+k into it then it beats modern cars, which is not impressive at all.
Damn. That was a great analogy
@@88joshuajohnathan hes talking about the nismo 🤦🏻♂️

10/10. Setsuna Yuki also love Throttle House channel.
That ZO6 without the silly looking ZO7 package, I realise that might be an unpopular opinion, is probably peak modern car alongside a GT3 Touring.
I'm torn for a htc with or without
Holy shiz I love how the Skyline throws the driver forward when shifting haha
Absolutely love this channel you guys are always fun to watch 😄
Now that the E-Ray is out, the question is: what will power the ZR1? A Z06 engine with electric assist on the front axle or a Z06 engine with a cross-plane crankshaft and twin turbos or a supercharger. It’s crazy to think that when the R35 came out, Chevrolet was launching the C6 ZR1 and the R35 will likely see the C8 ZR1 reach dealerships.
I know lol 😂 it’s been here a long time
Zr1 power train is already leaked. TT 5.5L 800-850hp. Zora is same thing but with a ev motor for the front axle making 900+ maybe a 1000. Probably gonna cost like 200+ msrp though.
@@johncena-hq1ti I don't think it will be tt at least not with the z06 engine, since it is unreliable even without turbo
@@Steven-re3id it’s already been leaked for over a year now my guy.
Can't wait for the new C8 E-ray drag race .. it's technically an AWD car with a mind-blowing 2.5sec. 0-60. Corvette are really doing a great job with the new platform!
On paper it should be about the same as the Z06. But the *Zora* is going to be a god damn monster.
Electric torque, plus EV traction control is far superior to ICE traction control, that’s why they launch so good, even in bad weather.
@@mobiusflammel9372 quarter mile is 10.5 seconds on it so it’s faster to the quarter then the z06. Though it’d fly by past highway speeds
@@CoreanKat yep. The Supra 2022 done far better in this case.
Z06 runs 10.5 but traps higher, this all depends on which tires. Eray with zer pkg has Michelin ps4s tires same as a Z06 without z07, it adds fe4 suspension and opens the carbon fiber wheel option. Z07 with cup2r track tires and aero has a lot of drag. I'm taking the Z06 myself. Maybe a grand sport will still be released. Zr1 should be faster
GTR content just never disappoints ❤
Don’t get cocky , GTR is nothing compared to corvette but the real thing that made the opposite because the fuckin driver who doesn’t know any shit about launching cars who drove corvette plus there is a perfect driver in a GTR so if they switched drivers , GTR will be roasted

Could you do an extrathrottlehouse video on r35 Nismo gtr
Now I wonder how the recently unveiled E-Ray will do against the Z06 and the GT-R. The E-Ray has similar acceleration to the Z06. But it has AWD and weighs around the same weight as the GT-R. So it would be interesting to see how well the E-Ray will do against these two cars.
Depends on the surface. On the prepped drag strips, the Z06 will be the fastest of the 3. On an airstrip attack such as this, the Eray will take the win
@@skylerhickman3646 GM says it’s the quickest vette ever. I’ve seen it launch and I guarantee 100% it’ll smoke the zo6 on every surface even with 20 less hp.
@@skylerhickman3646 Well, Chevy probably uses the same surface for all the times that they publish. So the E-Ray and the Z06 both were published with the same quarter-mile time. By the sounds of things, Chevy published the E-Ray with all seasons. This could mean that the optional summer tires could improve that time even more.
E ray does the quarter in 10.5 so it’d be faster then both from a dig. I suspect tho from a roll the e rays battery’s faster you go obv will be less effective so considering the gtr was this close to the z06 it’ll prolly beat an e ray from a roll but definitely not a dig. Z06 would lose on a dig but go right past on a roll I expect
@@slowspecv69 Well, I remember Chevy publishing the Z06 with the Z07 at 10.4 secs at 131 mph. But that's on their testing. I have seen no mention of the trap speed on the E-Rays 10.5-sec quarter-mile. I'd imagine it being slightly slower than the Z06 w/Z07 running around 130 to 129 mph as the E-Rays trap speed. This is my assumption because the 0 to 60 for the E-Ray is 2.5 secs. Whereas the Z06 is 2.6 for the 0 to 60. But by the end of the quarter, the Z06 w/Z07 takes it by a 10th. So you are right about the Z06 having a better roll than the E-Ray. But the Z06 does seem to have the potential to be quicker and faster than the E-Ray when everything has been met. But consistently the E-Ray will be the quicker car.
Nice race thank's
Dude you guys are amazing love this channel can you review z3m
Thanks Thomas 5:06 epic episode I’m now curious to see what the awd corvette will do against the gtr will it be better or the same I think the same
Now I want to see new all-wheel drive hybrid corvette in the race!

The build is also usually just bought, unless you're a mechanic lol
@@cosmic_gate476 No shit! You need to buy in order to build the motor Vs you bought it already built. Captain Obvious 🤣
Gahhhhhdammeeeeee that R34 was running on 5 cylinder instead of the full 6 cylinder and still gap them by a whole bus length. That thing is a beast! 💯
GTR R35 down on power by 70hp and up on weight by 200lbs yet beats the best america has to offer from the dig. Also the movement you like to turn you would like to sit in a GTR
Do keep in mind that Willow Springs is 1/2 mile above sea level, which means the Vette is down about 10% hp due to lower atmospheric pressure. Price of being NA, but the results at sea level would have shifted in its favor quite a bit.
Good but useless point if you drive it above sea level. It would have lost the second race at a little higher altitude then.
The gtr would have more power at sea level as well
@@ToyotaChariots no the same

This was fun to watch !
Make more of these tuner vs high end factory cars, it’s interesting!
A part of my question has been answered. Now I want to see the GT-R vs. Z06 on a track. My money is always on Godzilla.
Well, considering the ZL1 1LE (both manual and auto), C7 Grand Sport, C7 Z06, and C8 Stingray Z51 are all quicker around C&D's lightning lap. That's against the 2015 GT-R Nismo by the way. I'm assuming the C8 Z06 will also be quicker than the GT-R Nismo. Granted it would be interesting to see if the updated 2024 GT-R Nismo will at least be on par with the C7 Z06 which is about 5 secs quicker than the GT-R Nismo.
You’re gonna loose big time. It would like a fool against a Z06 on a track.
@@voodoodiecast No.

It'll have to wait in that senior citizen line behind all the corvette drivers
Wow the Nismo GTR is so impressive ❤️
A car with 10+ year old technology and a V6 just BARELY losing against a brand new flat-plane crank V8. Say what you want about the R35, but you have to admit that still to this day, it is undeniably one of the most capable and dominant cars to ever hit the streets. All these years and it's just now finally starting to lose some races. Can't wait to see what nissan has in store for the possible R36!
Watching the driver of the R34 bounce around when shifting was hilarious. It reminded me of crazy rocket man with that glowing red hot rocket motor behind him on the salt flats. Insane.
I’d like to see how the new E Ray stacks up to an R35.
You guys ROCK! 👍👍👍
