I'm just stating that (don't forget) the GTR is STILL my dream car, but they're going to have to come down in price before I consider it. 480/545 is just not enough for what you get, I had a 2013 5.0 in 2014 and had fun with it. Maybe I am a muscle car guy. I'm also in the south where v8 is everything. And ZL1's and Hellcats are like the icon locally. I also do not care what others think, simply stating the girl wasn't too far off, hinting that the GTR is dated and needs a redesign. As well as the Z. Nissan kind of upset with the whole auto show a week or so back. Didn't do much. No new Z, no new motor, nothing. Chevy at least evolves models, power, etc. Every few years to compete with Dodge and Ford.

To reiterate I am not bashing Nissan, I love my Z and GTR's I just can't justify it (right now) and am currently a little disappointed with Nissan.

didnt rustle anything. i'm just responding and correcting some of your *random rambling*. nice little touch you decided to add there......:facepalm:

just repeating that you're not against nissan doesnt change the fact that your view on comparisons between a gen 5 camaro and GTR are just asinine.:bowrofl:

if you're in the south that would give you even more reason to not go with those cars. that would be the worst just buying some big muscle car only to see 10 at every light like you're driving a fuckin civic :roflpuke2: at least you'd have plenty of people to make your purchase feel better over time. i mean misery does love company :rolleyes:

and we all are disappointed in nissan. you say it like you're the only one.

however, 2020 nismo GTR finally got the pieces it should have had (or had available as options) from the start.

With only 660 HP? Are you paying attention Rusty? The Hellcat has 707, and a boosted Z can make that at the wheel! :stirthepot:

Yeah, Porsche has it all wrong too, they are still producing the 911. :stirthepot:

If I know one thing at all, I love the owners and this forum minus the fact the 350z owners are starting to be able to afford 370's and rice them up LOL!

GTR and more so, Z will always have a forever spot in my heart. It appears the whole purpose of this thread = to boost the Z will not happen on my 10k planned budget, nor be worth it keeping the 7A trans.

I'm disappointed with Nissan as we all are like you stated FP! No arguments to be made. I accept the fact GTR just isn't what I thought it'd be now that I am finally able to plan / afford one... I guess I am a HP guy and I just want lots of power. Ive always wanted to try something diff. This is my 2nd 370, I've owned b8 s4 audi, lifted 11' GMC Sierra, 5.0 mustang 13', and multiple sport bikes. I think I'm going to try muscle car once again! There's not many ZL1's around here, nor hellcats. So when they're spotted people "Awww" over them! I'm just not seeing it being worth it. Never meant to put them down.

I still love all you guys tho!! And will be on the forum until I sale it.

Which puzzles me, how much are 2012 370z sport/touring w/ 60k miles, FBO + TUNED and lots of misc. suspension / cosmetic mods going for these days?

A used one not at a dealer. Those MF'ers will make you buy something else that they can't sell on the lot before they will let you have one. LOL I'll put 10 bucks on it. Watch and see.
