Im trading in my bugatti veyron for a 370z... i just want something more fun on the street.:icon14:

damn your ballin. A full tank of gas last you all day.

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 :tup:

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.

:iagree:

Yeah, I remember when I traded in my Subaru Justy for a pickup truck...one more supercar off the road :icon17:

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.

Bad news...dealer just called. The gunmetal one they had coming in for me turned out to be a convertible. That's a no-go for me. I'm still going in on Saturday to test drive it to get an idea about really driving the 370z on the street. But they'll bring in another one for me later on.

Geez what a let down.

Convertible might be a different experience compared to driving the coupe. But I'm sure you're already aware of that.

I LOL'ed.


The 'vert 370Z I drove felt/sounded every bit as solid as the hard-top. Very rare. I was impressed.

We still have a Z3 at home...don't need another convertible.

It is a very solid car, I just love the Z's roof lines and am not a huge fan of convertibles. Also, when the torque doubles, that solidness may be compromised.

In my last Z, when I hit full boost in 3rd gear with full traction, I could hear and feel the windows creak... I would hate to be in that situation with a convertible.

I think the Z's roof is the same as the GTR. I may be wrong.

I test drove a roadster before getting mine. Main differences I remember are cooling in the seats (it was summer), slightly more claustrophobic roof, quieter in the back (no pebble goes unheard in the coupe!).
