Nissan 370Z Forum  

The horsepower race has gone nuclear: 2013 GT500

I am impressed/surprised! If I were not going after land/house, I would be totally butthurt about buying a 370Z instead of trading my Z06 for one of these. Then again,

The cool thing is that it's like 1/2 a 370Z cheaper than a Z06!

I guess, but my Z06 was brand new and I watched them build it, and then I went on a free trip (minus $500 for air-fare and a condo) to Vegas and learned how to drive it.

All so much cooler than the soul-less "well, I went and ordered one, it should be here in 6 weeks" Ford rigamarole.

Over the past however long, we get it bro. You love your corvette and its a superior machine to even the space shuttle. I'm just sick of seeing the same damn posts about it over and over and over and over on this 370Z FORUM. Give it a rest will ya?

All hail corvette. you win. move along.

Which reminds me, I beat a Z06 corvette on the track with a 2800lb 2 seater. 160HP at most, does this mean Nissan 240sx > Used 3180lb 2 seater?
