A tuned Z (lighter wheels, stickier tires like RE11s, exhaust, intake mods, tune, suspension tweeks) will provide even greater and maybe exceeds Porsche like performance (lesser 911s/Cayman S) for a fraction of the cost. And the Z looks hawt. |

I used to think GTR > 350ztt. Now I'm going backwards. 370ztt>GTR, due to the fun factor. Yes the DCT in the GTR is superior to the F1 tranny of the Scuderia. I've driven the Scud extensively as well. But at the end of the day, you're still pressing a paddle to shift. Yes it's fun being able to put all the power to the ground at every given moment, even in the middle of the 0.2 seconds of shifting. But after a while, when you want to be rebellious at 30mph, just to have some fun fishtailing and drifting through a tight corner? Sorry, can't be done. Actually you can...just mash the gas. But it'll pull you straight through the corner though. On the track, believe me, the GTR would be my first pick. But on the street, I'd pick a 370z or a 370ztt day in and day out. Like I said in my first post, in MY life, I drive 95% on the street, therefore I'm going to a 370Z. But if you drive mostly on the track, by all means, GTR is a choice you will not regret. |

I remember that fire breathing z.

Thanks for the review. Like others I was also looking into the GTR in the future.

I remember when I said screw a GT-R for driving on the street because that is boring after a while just mashing 2 pedals and hitting some flippers and not being able to spin the tires from a 30 punch, and everyone jumped on me because I own a G20. Seems I might have known what I was talking about...
I'll stick with my goal of picking up a Z06, or a 370Z TT, depending on finances, thankyou :) 'grats OP! I am anxious to see the build! |
Alex, this is a great thread and your opinions seem very objective - a tough thing to achieve when talking about a car, I think!
I always enjoy hearing what other forum members had before their Z and what they liked about them, or what they are trading their Z for, for that matter! I just like learning about different cars. I tend to be in a 2-3 year car cycle, so I'm sure I'll be looking at Porsches, GT-Rs, and M3's within a few years, and will probably have to revisit this thread! BTW, loved the Oakley's analogy - very descriptive! |

so which one are you leaning towards? |

A Z06 is a supercar. A 370Z TT is a "normal car" with supercar performance. If I can hold out for it, I would prefer the Z06. I have done well to stuff away $1500 a month for the proposed Z06 and drive past the Nissan dealership every week on the way to work without buying for the last half year, lol. I am doing well so far. |
