If this existed, I wouldn't even be on this forum posting threads and I'd still own my GT-R!

Bottom line is they couldn't afford the payments/gas/insurance on a GT-R in the first place and probably had no business buying one. Claiming they are a purist and need a manual Z is probably only face saving IMO.

If i can afford a GTR, i would never back track to a Z, regardless of Manual or not. *I'd buy both*
+1........... If I could afford a GTR, then a 370Z would never cross my mind to be quite honest (MAYBE get as a DD). I would be sticking with cars near or in the GTR price range (911 Carrera S, Carrera 4S, M3……), but near downgrade.

+1........... IMHO I think anybody can lease a GTR, but far from few can actually afford to buy the GTR. When you are leasing a car you are going to pay a couple to several hundred less each month on your monthly car payment & in the end you will never actually pay the full price of the car. So at the end of the day it is always about money. A lot of people are just trying to impress others & trying to keep up with the Jone’s IMHO.

Exactly, I'd buy a manual Audi R8, I'd buy a manual Porsche turbo, Id but a **** load of MANUALS in the 100k-150k range. Buy a manual GT3, why get a Z lol.

If we threw money out the window, and were all given a choice to walk into Nissan and pick a Z or GTR, im sure we would all pick the GTR. Please don't try to justify picking a Z.

I have to disagree with you on that some people arnt willing to spend that much money on a car straight up and I am one of them. Id rather pay things off like my house.Max range for me would be for a new car 40 grand maybe... as much as I love cars I just dont feel the need to spend over that amount for my performance needs. people just think differently thats what makes this country so diverse. So until the gtrs are less than 40 meh..Id get a z ,STI ,used gt500 ect....... and be quite happy

Really?! I guess EVERYONE that has ever owned and sold a GT-R never could actually afford one. Wow!

New rule: If you ever replace your car with one that is less expensive, you never could have afforded the previous one in the first place.

To be honest the Stillen supercharger is not a good kit you want an STS turbo its not like a traditional turbo its mounted in the rear of the car no heat issues no turbo lag better mpg currently I'm sitting at 600 RWHP in my 370z and getting 45 mpg on highway at 80-90 mph take a look at his work ststurbo.com Rick is the owner good guy makes the best forced induction in the world no one can copy him because its all patented.

also since its mounted in the rear you have more room for upgrades on the engine F.Y.I
