Careful with his rep, it might leave an itching feeling later.

Thats because it was the other "half" that was the entertaining part

Until we bring the next one home, anyway...LOL

You don't squeeze the throttle after the apex. You PUNCH IT. That's how it adjusts its balance. And it pulls it straight out of the corner faster than any other car out there.

/\ and I very much appreciate you not kissing the wall sweetie.

I really don't think folks who haven't driven a GTR on the track can really truely appreciate what the car is capable of. It's an amazing machine.

2012 Nissan GT-R officially goes 0-60 in 2.9 seconds — Autoblog

I would never trade in my z for a gtr.

I can't really make sense of this thread, but i won't be an ******* about it because im sure im missing something seeing as ive never driven an GTR.

I can say, i would get rid of my 370z for a GTR without hesitating if it was a possibility.

From what I gather he's looking for something RWD, smaller/lighter, and less computer involved, which I can understand to some degree (when you have the kind of money to build up a Z)

He's not talking a stock 370, his idea of basic bolt-ons includes turbos

I can see where he is coming from. Just because the GTR is a supercar doesn't mean it is fun for everyone to drive. Especially on the street.

Yeah, I remember when I traded in my Subaru Justy for a pickup truck...one more supercar off the road

You know, I saw the thread title and had to jump in. My father recently bought a GTR and after driving it I have to say I agree a lot on what the OP is saying. For going balls out fast/track car it's a real performer. But my god it is so boring and uninspiring from a daily driver standpoint...The car is constantly trying to keep you in 6th gear when you're driving around and the weight of the car along with the suspension makes you feel like you're in an army tank. I would have had more fun driving my girlfriends old corolla compared to the GTR in daily driving. As soon as I hopped back into my Z, although it obviously wasn't as fast..I felt like I was having way more fun.
