Would you have gotten a GTR?
 
Assuming both the Z and GTR are priced the same, would you get the GTR?

Personally, after hearing horror stories about GTR insurance/maintenance/repair costs and the fact that its a dime a dozen from where i come from, i would have chosen a Z anyway...

However, am sure it would be fun to just drive the GTR for a week or two, just to experience Nissan's finest...

GTR
Pros:
Gtr comes boosted with 500hp
easy to modify
awd

Cons:
Gtr is a porker
tons of electronic gizmos to fail on you in the future
Z
Pros:
weights less
when boosted it can run with a Gtr
Imo looks better as well

When u modify the Z properly it will run as well as a Gtr. It just won't get out of the hole as fast.

i couldnt afford to fix things on the gtr, so no :(

Z looks better by far. I really am turned off by the rear of the GTR. Would be a great Track car if I had the money and the time.

I'd go with the GTR but end up feeling disappointed in the long run

The Z was what I wanted, not what I settled for, so no GTR here.

No Z (even boosted) can run with a GTR, aside from running behind it.

If they were both $35k, hell yes I'd have a GTR. 0-60 in 2.9s and 11s 1/4 mi. And if they were priced the same, repair costs would then even out as well.

With the price differential, I'd take the Z as I did. If they were priced identically, there's no decision to be had...GTR.

If I had to do it over again, I would have bought one instead. The amount of money ou put it a z to make it 500hp, wheels, tires, suspension, seats, monitoring system, body kit, ya I woulda for one

bflosabre91 06-20-2011 09:40 AM

i like the appearance of the Z much more than the gtr. but the performance of the gtr is tough to pass up.. if i could put the gtr power in the body of a Z..... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

leighspped 06-20-2011 09:47 AM

i think they'd just take my driver licences once i drove off the lot....

i like to drive like i stole it :driving:

based on your hypothetical, if the GTR cost the same as a Z, its maintenece and repairs wouldnt be sky high like they are now. So yes I would get the GTR.

Now if your saying the other way and the Z was priced as high as a GTR, the Z's maintenence and repairs would be sky high as well in which case i'd be driving a corvette.

I was close to ordering a GTR. My factory order for the 370 was questionable (being right at the cut-off for the 2009 model before they re-tooled for the convertable). There was about a 4 day stretch that I didn't know if I was going to get my order. I had plans to order a GTR if I couldn't get the 370.

But it worked out that I got the 370. And, I'm not disappointed.

And, I did get to test drive a GTR. Fun!

I love my Z...but for the same price range...you would get more bang for the buck goin with the GTR!!!! So I definitely would get a GTR

If the GTR wasn't an automatic I'd own one at full price. I just can't abide auto's, even inexpensive ones.
