Why should I also consider these? X

Acceleration, top-speed figures, and flashy styling mean a lot in this class of vehicle, but the driving experience means something, too.

Two of the top rivals to the GT-R are the Corvette ZR1 and the Porsche 911 Turbo.

The ZR1's supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 will push it to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, 0.3 second faster than the Corvette Z06, according to GM; it'll hit 100 mph in 7.0 seconds, turn in quarter-mile times of 11.3 seconds at 131 mph, and charge to a claimed top speed of 205 mph, all for a price tag some $20,000 higher than the GT-R—and minus two seats.

The 911 Turbo has them beat at the top end, offering nearly 200 mph and an available top-down experience, punching out 480 hp for nearly $135,000.

As for which one would draw more gawkers, it's a toss-up.
