Well it's a Nissan because it's continuing the legacy of the GT-R from Japan. It was originally priced at $70k, but it has gone up for a number of reasons and it holds it's value as well. It still outperforms mostly everything out there that is double it's price.

Very tough call.
As others have said, you need to drive each to see which one you prefer.
Do you have the mod bug and what will you do with the car?
A 2014 GTR will be substantially faster faster than the cars mentioned with just a tune, pipes and CAI. Low 10s all day long.
It will take a significant amount of money to get the other cars to be as fast as the GTR.
If you don't care about being the quickest, then the new Z06 and 997 are solid choices. The old ZR1 has an 80s interior and not worth it in my opinion.
The 997 is available with a stick if it matters to you.
At that price range, why have you not considered the Viper and the new Jaguar F coupe?
Good luck with the search. It should be a lot of fun test driving the cars.

I greatly appreciate everyone's comments and recommendations. However, at this time I have decided to hold on to the E63. I will definitely get a GT-R maybe in the next 1-2 years (also investment performance dependent).

On E85 low 10's, not on 93 octane. There are many around here and I ran them all! I beat them all pretty badly except the E85 car and he beat me by a car in his sweet spot in very cold weather with me spinning at the start of a 40-50mph roll everytime. I was impressed either way and he was just as impressed!
Most importantly, all the guys who are recommending GTR, have you guys ridden in one yet? They ride like a cement mixer! Only difference is that the cement mixer is probably more quiet inside! TRUST ME, ride in a GTR before buying one! My buddy has a 2014 bone stock and he is NOT thrilled with it, trust me! It's pretty fast as we all know, with 300 miles on it, it did go 11.11 at 126mph but no match for even a lightly modded V.
I agree the Z06 is the way to go IMO. Cts-v? Best bang for the buck but Porsche, Zo6, GTR are all totally dif cars. 2015 ZO6 or Porsche hands down between the 3 cars!
