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

tvfreakazoid · 01-25-2009, 03:09 PM

I would say go buy the GTR. As for the 370z being just a 2 seater, the GTR is basically a 2 seater as well. Trust me i've seen those cars in the dealer and there is NO LEG room at all. You might be able to fit 3 people, MAYBE. But If I had the money like you, I would wait for the V-Spec to come out. More power and lighter.

The RS4 ( My Favorite of the three ) was all round grate, but with the four wheel drive a bit boring. the cayman S was Fun, real fun, but under powered.

So what next a 370Z or GTR. Problem is the GTR will have Zero back up support here in the Philippines, My concern is the 370Z is gonna be disappointing on power. And only got two seats. Though im sure is will be fun to slide around corners and my local track.

My concern with the GTR is going to be like the RS4 and a bit of a bore,
and a worry to maintain.

What would you buy if the budget we not the issue, and you wanted to have some thing exciting to hack around in, and put a smile on your face. ??

( I think the Z is better looking )

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.

G&M Performance · 01-25-2009, 08:31 PM

^^^ 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.
