I could have spent $10K more and gotten a Mustang GT500. I could have spent $20K more and gotten a Vette or a Porsche.

I could have spent half and gotten a Cobalt SS.

I thought about all of those, and the 370Z spoke to me...so, I'll be a drug dealer and/or pimp in a few years - fine by me. I'll have and be the party, and you have to pay me to play.
Behold from the distant hazy horizon, there appeared a sensible response,
and good for you. God Bless America, the only country where you can have such choice. For now.......

Kind of like health insurance, social security, medicare/medicaid, illegal rights and government corruption with uncontrolled spending.

Yeah, all those things that make America grand.

China will collect sooner than we'd care for, and we'll be making trinkets for India after it's all said and done.

The R35 is a great car but it is not cost effective.

- It is close to 4000 pounds, eats tires for breakfast and brakes for lunch.
- An oil change is $200, a transmission is $20000.
- It doesn't drive like a sports car (feels heavy), although it handles well at the track.
- My 31K Z has consistently beaten some expensive competition in the form of Corvette Z06's, Vipers, GT-R's, Evo's etc at Auto-X, why would I pay more to go slower?

Even if I had the money I'm not sure I would get a GT-R, there's more driving excitement in the Z. Well maybe if I had lots of money I would get one of each, I'll put snow tires on the GT-R and use it as my winter car.

Wow that's a brave statement. Did your inverse reality diode just pop?

Have you driven an R35 GTR, Z06, Viper?

Post some video.
