Not saying the GT-R is bad. I definitely respect its performance capabilities, but that's just one part of the car ownership experience. I've never driven a GT-R, but I have ridden in modded GT-R's. I think I might have the same problem with its size that I did with the Mustang I drove. Of course the GT-R can definitely handle it's size, but it's about driving experience preference at that point. GT-R's never gonna sound as good (to me) as something with 8+ cylinders. Subjective again, but I don't think it looks good either.

The C7 for me checked off all the boxes for what I was looking for in my next car. Had the performance, looks, interior, features, sound, and driving experience. Though the FPC V8 on the new GT350 had me thinking hard about getting one.

I absolutely would turn it down if it was mine to buy. obviously the car is beasty. I also agree that manuals are at a disadvantage when compared to a good auto or dct. however, IMHO, it takes part of the fun out of driving (never driven Godzilla but have had the chance to flog a pdk Cayman and drive a dct M3).

now give me one and I would drive it mercilessly. that said if it was my money I would buy the upcoming Cayman GT4 in 6MT.

Different strokes.

I just hate the styling of american cars :shakes head:

I also live in Oklahoma, so corvettes are a dime a dozen here. I guess the location has really jaded my appetite for american styling.

different strokes for different folks lol

and i understand about the fun factor, which is why i mentioned about the lack of it when not being able to rowing through the gears.



not to mention the quality of american cars, or lack of rather.

Z is a better street car.....sounds like the FRS/BRZ defense :bowrofl:

Personally, I'd rather have the C7 on the street or on the track. Mine will be my DD so I will be driving it quite a bit.






Sounds like a fanboy to me :stirthepot:

I wanted a GT-R at one point......and then I learned how to drive a manual. Not so much after that :roflpuke2:

Only reason I have a slight street preference for the Z is the Vette, feels like you're going 65 at 110mph.
The Z is stable too but you feel your speed more. It's the only thing leaning me Z way. I'll go to jail in a vette on the street.

for what the gtr is at 120K~.



my thoughts exactly. keep the 370Z as DD and the GTR as a weekend car.

and nah man, gotta get the GT Nismo :tup:

Can I interest you in a nice FRS, where you can be going 35 mph and feel like you're going 65 mph? The magic is all in the tires. Now worries about going to jail, but you may get a ticket for going below the speed limit :rofl2:
