370Z or GTR.. which to buy..?

nogoodname · 01-25-2009, 03:14 PM

If i only had that tough choice, i would pick the 370z and modify it into a mean machine....lol

GT-R - duh

When I can afford the GT-R that will be my next car. For now I'm shooting for a 370Z

Interesting point though.... the GTR is a 3.8L version of the VQ. In fact the rummor is that the G37 is slated to have the 3.8L (making it a G38?). Would the 3.8 fit in the 370Z? Although TT kit on a 3.7VQ would probably get you around 500 HP anyhow.... which is fairly cheap HP if you want a RWD car...

Test drive both and then buy whatever you want.

I mean really, on how many forums have we seen this question asked?

Who cares what a bunch of strangers think?

conspiracies....

there are 2 turbo kits available for the G37...i beleive so

one from GTM and the other from Forged
both vendors are on here..... and both are pretty good from what i heard

TerribleONE · 01-25-2009, 05:16 PM

you cant test drive a GT-R until you buy it.. ^ lol and id honestly go with the 370Z IF you are into modding..

nogoodname · 01-25-2009, 05:20 PM

If i had the dollas,
370z and mod the daylights out of it and make it look sleek ...no fancy body kits or anything, just all performance mods

frost · 01-25-2009, 06:13 PM

Is this a real decision? lol. I wouldn't think about that for a second.

Ya, and in less than 6 months watch GM close it's doors. Oops, looks like Nissan will be doing the service orders now.....

Really though, the GTR is an awesome car. And if you get a 370Z and it's not enough power for ya then put some turbos on it.

^^^ Hey there, I don't see Nissan above the industry average either. LOL! But then again, at least they didn't ask for a handout, right?

All kidding aside, that ZR1 is a beast. Also, the lingering fear of GM going bankrupt is just mass paranoia. What they need to do is shove a cork in the asses of the union workers, lower wages, and call it a day.

Too bad it won't happen since this is the land of self indulgence and.....more, more, more.

Weird cross shopping

The GTR's tranny is 10k less than a base 370z

Get the GTR man especially with the cars you are coming from. 332hp is not going to satisfy you in the least.

BTW love those Audi coupes

nogoodname · 01-25-2009, 08:48 PM

In the end....GM is on it's way down.... slowly but surely.....oh...well

it's only me that would get a 370 and mod the daylights out of it....instead of a Gt-R....lol

and also, off topic....did you know that the Cobalt SS has a launch Control...wonder if it will be a deja vue...like the Gt-r

get the 370 and mod it ..it would be way cheaper to maintain.
