Get the 370z! I'd like to see what you do to it after seeing your 350.

Probably not too much...500ish rwhp will suffice this time. I just ordered a 458 Italia as well for those weekends I feel "exotic".....just hope it doesn't burn with me in it

Your old Z had a distinct look to it too. Body mods count too. lol

Wow baller, uhh if you don't mind me asking what do you do for a living? Seems odd that you'd want a 370 when you can afford an Italia, unless you really miss that 350 *shrug*

the Italia would be a nice weekend cruiser. But I need something for everyday use...that I can park anywhere without worrying, that I can beat around when I want to have fun. Everyday type of fun.

Great write-up! Really interesting to get your point of view. Never heard of anybody going from a GTR to a 370 for the fun factor! Really makes me want to re-think my plans, as I was considering going to a GTR or older Gallardo 6 spd. for the bhp fix.

The only negatives I've had with my 370 is the oil heating and burning. Will have to do a consumption test next spring.

I appreciate Nitrouz's position. I originally went to buy a GTR and when I found out it only came in automatic, I bought the Z. Enjoy the new car Nitrouz.

That's more along the lines of what happened to me j/k

Hrm. GT-R is a great car, but you want something more raw, more dangerous, more exciting. I'm a motorcycle guy first and foremost. I'd keep the GT-R and pick up a Ducati 1198S, MV Agusta F4, or an Aprilia RSV4 Factory. It is simply not possible to get the thrill of a high performance motorcycle in anything with four wheels IMO. Of course, if you aren't an experienced rider already, I'd avoid any of those choices for the next few years

That rear end treatment is to die for, the front lower section is good, great car, your wheels look very 350z
