370z-Reinforces the above statement that Nissan produces great performing cars for less than there competitors

G37-is the luxury vehicle that is very close to equaling the 3 series. (they improve ride quality then they wil be the Premier Japanese Car Manufacturer IMO)

Altima-Is the everyday Accord/Maza6/ competitor (very very important car) i would say this vehicle is more important than the GT-R and 370z

Or save your money and wait for the gtr specV.
Now I hope they bring that over to the states. I'm really curious how it will do in the autobaun. I wonder how much more faster it will go against the regular gtr and if it will beat the zr1 track record.

why would you compare the two? there from totally different classes. GTR is of course the more dominant car between the two. Better in every way, except on the sales of course. Not everyone can afford the GTR.
But I think the 370z is worth every penny, but I wouldn't be too sure about that with the GTR.^^

Wouldnt compare the two. But they are both equally as important....

The GT-R is an engineering muscle flex..its representative of what Nissan can do. It makes them a force to be reconned with and is a prelude to whats to come for the more affordable cars. Its a latent bottom line booster.

The 370Z is an immediate bottom line booter.

Similar to how Honda has the NSX and the S2000... (except Honda is also in Formula 1)

I'm curious to hear Clarkson's take on the 370Z. He panned the 350, but practically hemorrhaged with love for the GT-R. with more GT-R blood in it (and all the refinements that fix it), I think he might like it. Plus, who doesn't love what that man says about cars?

Dude, Honda announced that they're pulling out of F1 back in Dec. They're looking at a possible buyout from the Virgin group right now. If it falls through, they'll probably close their doors.

Default Similarities between GT-R and 370Z

Hey,

I used to own a 1992 300zx and loved it.

I was hoping you all can help settle a debate which started when a friend was recently talking about the GT-R and I asked "Does it look anything like the new 370Z?" "No, its completely different," he said. I thought I had seen the GT-R at some point but then thought I must be mistaken. I asked if there are any similarities and he said its 100% different.

After looking up some pictures, I thought the GT-R looks like a 370Z on steroids. The hood and headlights are similar. The overall shape of the car is similar. The tail, however, is very different. Overall, I think they are at least somewhat similar.

My friend said that they are not even 1% similar... and also that if I said the GT-R somewhat resembles the front of an Eclipse, he would agree.

If we are comparing sports cars, if I was to list cars that are 100% different versus the GT-R and from each other, I would say 911, Corvette, Audi R8. These are all 100% different, but I dont think the GT-R is 100% different than the 370Z.

What do you think?

Old thread, but the GTR and the 370 share a similar cantilever roofline with lends itself to a "similar, but still different" look.

um...none I think, I know jackshit about rims, I just bought them from the guy with the rally 370z.

front is 245/30/19

rear is 295/30/19

I went back to stock as the thin tires meant having to snail over speed bumps or I would ruin the exhaust.

I am only going to use those wheels on the track since the tires are the yokohama advan neova AD8
