Which country builds the better track animal? Both are jam-packed with technology and aerodynamic elements. They’re engineered for ultimate track performance and capabilities while still being completely street legal.

We’re talking about the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and the Nissan GT-R Nismo, two of the most insane cars you can buy today. At the same time, the Z06 and GT-R Nismo have very distinct and separate personalities. While the Z06 is rear-wheel-drive, the GT-R Nismo famously has all-wheel drive.

So which of these two track animals do you prefer? Good question, and Motor Trend is here to help with the answer, unless, of course, you've already decided. Just remember: the Z06 is brand-spanking new while the GT-R Nismo is based on a car that dates back to 2007.
