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. Quote:
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. |
