If the GTR button was white, and the 370Z button was red, people would be switching the red ones out for white. It's all about being different.

I saw this on my Mercedes. There was a coupe version and a sedan version and the license plate surround was different. Everyone that had a coupe wanted the sedan surround...and everyone who had the sedan wanted the coupe surround - and everyone had their justifications.

Pretty sure the joke is the "+200HP" writing.

and maybe the fact it looks like it's made out of cardboard and is purple?

i had no interest but this talk about the feel changed my mind...where can i get one

Streetlife · 09-23-2011, 04:03 PM

I just ordered one for my 2012 370Z. Even though i put my deposit down a few weeks ago, I still had to have it once my girl is shipped to the dealer.

+1

Looks much better now and definitely a higher finish quality than the stock one

Many sources; here's where I got mine:

The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts: GTR Push Button Ignition Switch, 09-10 370Z

just makes the interior sportier looking. kinda like how i did the DiNoc. it's just a cosmetic candy thingie.

Lemers · 09-23-2011, 05:14 PM

I truly believe that if the buttons were reversed from Nissan. The Z came with red and the GTR came with the glow orange button the same people would be swapping them still. It's not because it's better. It because it rarer.

Jordo! · 09-23-2011, 05:19 PM

Mismatched buttons are ultra sexy.

Lemers · 09-23-2011, 05:21 PM

Buttons popped off a blouse are even sexier.

Maybe if the alternative to the red button had an aluminum or carbon fiber look. The standard button just looks out of place in a $35k - $45k sports car to me.

I wouldn't have made the switch from red to white.

People like it because it looks like the big red button to launch a missle. lol.
