GT-R vs. 370Z

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?

Crap, who has Clarkson's quote about the 370 in their sig?

Anyway, when the 370 was compared to the BMW Z4, Clarkson said that even though the Z was faster, lighter, cheaper he recommended you buy the bummer...I mean bimmer.

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.
