I've driven the TTRS two weeks ago and it was faster and more rigid then my 370Z hands down!! More refined, etc etc etc. The Z only wins for bang for the buck. If you can afford a TTRS then that is the car to get! You just go get it flashed with bolt ons and it's playing with R8s on the track at that point! Us folks who need to worry about bang for the buck, we buy the 370Z.

Also: Our cars have had bad brakes press also!! (Have we already forgotten?)
