A lightweight stripped down model is more like the Honda S2000 CR (Club Racer), not a street car.

Considering the other aspects of the 370Z that make it less suitable as a track vehicle, I think making it a better long distance driver isn't a bad idea.

But the 370 fits the definition of a sports car, far more than the GT definition.

Quick! Someone with a Pearl White Touring, install a 40th Rays and contact Blue Bat for custom GT overlay on the side!!!!!

I wonder what they are going to do about the road noise.

would be nice if you could order it and have it installed on a 09.

rear camera want. wonder how much it would cost to get a new NAV installed >_>

they slapped a decal on and called it a 370z GT. Imma slap a air freshener on mine and call it a 370z Turbo diesel GT type R

Looking over more stories, it seems like the GT Edition is for Europe, and is basically a Sports package modified.

The stories list a new suspension tuning, but apparently standard models will get it as well. It also lists optional rear camera and Nav, but I those are readily available on regular models.

The weird thing is some stories list it as being cheaper than a base model???

I definitely agree the 370Z is a sports car, but a GT model countering the Nismo model wouldn't be a lightweight stripped model. I think they should fix the Nismo model for that.

OTOH, the Sport+Touring Auto in the US is pretty much a GT package.

Can someone photoshop one so i can get a better understanding...

If i install an aftermarket exhaust on my 370Z GT will it hurt the resale value later? Do you think people will pay more for an all original 370Z GT.

Save your original exhaust. Sell your Z with it back on.

Replace spoiler with a carbon fibre one....Beautiful!

..
And my new plate. Could it get any more perfect !

Jessobear · 03-10-2011, 07:33 AM

That looks worse than the standard car.

LMBmikeZ · 03-27-2011, 12:20 PM

Nice plates!

not feeling the GT stripe on the side..... only thing I like about it, is that now replacement stock wheels will be available to 40th owners!

issforged · 03-28-2011, 11:08 AM

this would have been a some what success if they made the car a strip down racer...something like what did Ford did with the BOSS 302 Mustang, or like what Hyundai did with the Genesis that they made the track version

then this idea would work...super stripped down, as light weight as possible, maybe throw in some carbon parts
