The Nissan GT-R has always been considered one of the best bang-for-your-buck sports cars on the market. As the years have gone by however and more potent iterations have been introduced, its price has steadily increased to the point where the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo starts at $151,585 in the United States. <\/p>\n

Last year however, Chevrolet introduced what could be the performance bargain of the decade with the C7-generation Corvette Z06 starting at just $89,985 in the U.S. While that price can rise markedly with the various options available, it is still 50 per cent cheaper than the GT-R Nismo. In order to find out how the two performance cars compare, Motor Trend\u2019s Carlos Lago recently hit the streets and Willow Springs Raceway in them to find out once and for all.<\/p>\r\n
