Posters selling their Z for a GT

papashango · 12-02-2010, 01:06 PM

Ive noticed a few folks here recently sold their Z for a 2011 GT. Nothing wrong with that, both fine cars. Just curious what prompted you to make the move?

ClemsonWill · 12-02-2010, 01:15 PM

Most made the move because they wanted the extra power and torque while still remaining in the same price range. For what it is the GT is a great buy.

I don't get why Nissan can't do the same if they want more sales?

I dont understand anyone who says the 370 doesnt have enough power or torque. It felt FASTER to me than the GT.

I agree with you, the power to weight ratio is different. I wish Nissan would give us a turbo version for the Z like the 300zx.

Feeling and then actually being are two different things.

For you it 'felt' faster, but under what conditions?
-Did you drive them back to back?
-Faster from 0mph, 20mph, other?
-Did you put your foot to the floor on both?

The Z and the Mustang are both quick cars, as to why some are switching is more multiple reasons. Some want to get away from the VQ engine, others are big fans of a Mustang but the 4.6L was 'meh' to them, and some just like to change vehicles.

+1!

I did drive them back to back. For me im not racing or tracking so if it feels faster that is good enough for me, do not care so much about numbers.

The Z just felt more responsive to me. granted they were both automatic transitions. When i stepped on the mustang it delayed a second, then roared back and shot forward. The Z was instantaneous. The z driving experience was more exhilaration all around.

Basically I was on vacation in St. Louis when a black panel van pulled up next to me on the street and masked men dragged me in, then knocked me unconcious. I woke up on the floor of some lavish office. Dazed and confused, I got up and looked around. There was an odd chair made out of a bear sitting in front of the office desk with a note that said, "please have a seat." So, I sat down and all of a sudden this bear grabbed me. Next thing I knew I was sore and driving home in a 5.0.

Exactly. In a perfect world I'd have a 370Z Roadster to compliment the 5.0.
