and u can do 550whp in a 370z for about $15k (not the point tho)

man after the Z i still wanna go supra or 911 turbo. supra has always been a dream car to me. mild engine work and a single turbo and i'm in heaven

How can you say a GTR is not a drivers can tho? or not fun? Have you took a GTR around the track. So A car not having a 6speed makes it not a drivers car?

Is a 911 turbo a drivers car?

All around performance everything the car has to offer is the goal thats why i would take a 700hp GTR over a 550 Z. I just dont know what the Z has to offer that the GTR cant master even better.

I kinda feel what Ethan's saying here. Then again, I've never taken a GTR around a track, so I can't honestly say I have a reference point. Yet, something makes me still want one. If they made a GTR that was a manual, I bet it would have even larger market appeal. And yes, that is the one thing that always made me shy away from one (at least when I used to be able to afford one.) I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

Trust me the feeling of driving a GTR is something else....I had that same feeling for it not being a manual but once you get in and drive it, you immediately forget about it. GTR is still my dream car, just too bad i cant afford one.

Even if the car had a manual ppl would still find something to complain about and a reason not to buy it. A GTR being a drivers car is not gonna sell the car. A manual GTR would be so much slower. The 7At 370z takes off on a M6 370z a dig or roll. Horsepower sales cars just ask the 370z and the Mustang 5.0 right now.

Doing some research and was wondering if there is a place in KC that specifically stores tires and rims for a reasonable price?

That stores them? Like you own them and just want somewhere to put them? I would imagine any storage facility could do that, if that is what you are referring to.

I agree I could just rent a place of my own but I figure it would be cheaper and less time consuming if I pay someone that has their own facility and stores lots of tires.

Well that my friend I am unable to assist you in. I have only been in Overland Park for a year and a half. I never really looked into it sorry bud.
