Z impressions from a GTR owner

I hate this review. Just makes me want a GTR. But like you said, for the money the 370Z is great.

Thanks for the review mate - I'm currently thinking about these two options. The first GTR's have just arrived here in the UK and the 370z's are due in July, so this thread is perfect timing for me.

Now you've reminded me of the GTR's hard ride and higher maintenance costs I'm leaning back towards the 370z again, but I saw & heard a black GTR go past my house the other day and I damn nearly had an orgasm - it's a difficult one lol.

If you could only buy one, which would you choose?

Thanks for the review. You should try out the 370Z at auto-cross, you really get to throw the car around (there's a local one 2 weeks from now). It actually does better at auto-cross than a GTR due to the smaller size and weight. I will be taking it to the track once I have an oil cooler installed.

not entirely sure about the news, but you might want to double-check the papers before you commit yourself to a 2010 GTR
