I just have to say this everytime I see this comment. Nothing against you. I have an auto. So

But here goes... Going by this logic alone that would make the GTR not a real sports car.

Yup. I said it. The GTR isn't a sports car.

This isn't meant to start any **** or any kind of debate. Honestly, I almost don't care. But I still care just enough to point it out. It isn't an illogical comment. I'll give everyone here a thin mint if they can find a foot operated clutch pedal on the GTR.

----------------------------------------------------------

Back on topic... I did buy the base model with touring package with the intention of upgrading all the things I thought I'd want to upgrade. Then the mod bug hit. Then every upgrade needed upgrading. Then I saw what the bill would have been had I hit purchse on every item I wanted. It went well over $15k not including boost. I wound up mostly regretting not picking up the damn sport package on the lot. If you are like me, you'll do the same.

For what it's worth, I'm currently looking to ditch the Z for a sport/touring or Nismo Z. And I've owned my Z only a year. Just my advice.

I didn't see him say "clutch pedal", just "clutch". So technically, wouldn't that mean the GTR is 2x the sports car?

Back on topic, get the sport package. I can't imagine why there's even an option to go without it.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.
