That is a very subjective statement, but for your purposes........maybe true. From what I have seen, these cars take to boost very well. In compairison, doubling the output of a CA18DET (175HP) required forged internals, larger turbo, fuel system, and clutch (at a minimum). Then you needed upgrade diff, suspension, wheels/tires, at a minimum to make use of it. Was it worth it? My girl would say no. I thought differently

All I am saying is you gotta pay to play dude. Why no go for a GT-R from the start if you planned on running an automatic? Not trying to be an d!ck, but I would have bout a GT-R over the Z if it was offered in a MT.............

Number 1 reason why I'd never buy a GT-R

"i could have got gtr over 370z if it was offered in manual" is the silliest excuse i ever heard in my entire life

I never knew that gtr cost same as 370z

i never knew that gtr brake service cost same as 370z

i never knew 370z MT is better than gtr AT

what a lame excuse... GTR is a GTR you didnt buy it not because its "AT" but because it cant be afforded and even though you can, gtr service cost arm and leg..

im not saying that i can afford it, i cant even afford their brakes but i just hate when ppl come up with lame excuses

Me too, in a heartbeat. It kills me that the GTR doesn't come in stick. That leaves only a 911 Turbo in that performance range, but it's too expensive new.
