I would trade you too and I am closer!!

Really wanted a GT-R but just can not afford it. I do plan on trying to buy one in a few years when it comes down in the 50's.

The 370Z is a BLAST to drive though. I love it. Also have a 1990 300ZX TT and it never gets driven now. )

its nice to see that deep down, the Z still has some qualities that the GT-R just doesn't.

The paint job is horrible. Since my car is black I can see how crappy the paint is. If I had known how crappy the paint was gonna be I would have went white again.

Other then that the car is great.

I remember you, Nitrouz, from the 350 forums. You had the craziest 350(in a good way). Stroked TT if I remember correctly putting down insane numbers.

I had a 'basic' APS turbo setup and I gotta say I miss it also. I'm rolling around in an S4 DCT nowadays. Might have to add another Z turbo to the stable again also.

yes sir that was me.

Only complaint I have "coming from a 400+whp evo" Is with a 500hp RWD I can't just put the gas to the floor and go... at least not until 4th gear. I guess thats part of the fun, feathering the gas , keeping the back end in line ect. I'll be going with some 12in wide rims out back this spring with some sticky tires.. that should help

That's my point. My GTR goes 0-60 in 3 flat on a bad day with no launch control. But it's not fun. It's just mash and go. I need that borderline killing myself feeling...with my old Z, I just mash the throttle at 80mph in 3rd gear and I'm going sideways with a cloud of smoke going 100mph down a highway looking at the median. That's fun.

wow... your 350 was incredible. nice job why did you get rid of it??

We did the same thing a couple of months ago, and haven't regretted it yet. I don't think I will regret it until the first time I take the Z to the track. But driving the GT-R around town every day was boring, and I don't get to the track nearly as often as I'd like. Enjoy the new Z!

Nitrouz

Juno you sold your GTR too???

Juno

Yep! We'll get another one eventually, but when we do, we're going to keep the Z too.

I can't wait to see what you do with your 370! Ours is staying NA...you know, so we can save for that next GT-R down payment! LOL

Nitrouz

wow...interesting.... we both went from my350z to nagtroc and now here...lol...

Black paint is horrid.
Tt 370 will be outperformed by a gtr.


I had the very fortuitous option to choose b/t them, my budget was 125k and after doing my research and test driving, I chose the z. A lot of it had to do w/ not being a track rat, some of it had to do w/ having more car than I am capable of handling, a huge part of it came from not trusting myself to not do something stupid while street driving.


But the only real regrets I have about the car r the black paint and the fact that the gtr is a beast. I got to test drive a pretty fair number of exotics when I showed the salesmen my bank account, and the gtr launch outshined all of them.

Glad to have u over here and gly search.

And there are many other cars that can outperform the GTR. There's always something better, something faster, something rarer. I just want something rewarding, that I can beat around and have fun with. I just want to DRIVE.
