I like the Stingray but is too expensive right now, is narrow body and you have to wait for them to work out the kinks on the new car

Wow... Late to the party... I just came from nissans website. They went back to 2009 pricing.. I figured Nissan would do something like this soon. I discouraged many from buying a 13 based on this. Actually I discouraged buying a 13 or 14. I expected this to happen next year. But I was on the right track. I knew with the competition present it was nissans best play. And with the sentra pathfinder and altima being so popular, they can afford to drop Z pricing.

Nissan is back in the best bang for buck segment. Under 30k gets you a 13 second car. Upper 30's segment will get you a loaded ride. Nissan's pricing is where it should ave been all along and I'm glad they finally came to their senses.

I'll die laughing if 2015 brings back the fangs right before the 2016 z35 release. Lol.:icon17:

That's crazy!!! I would be mad as hell if I just bought a 370Z and find out they lower the prices.

I really love the Nismo 370Z and would have love to buy one, but the Corvette is way nicer!!! I wonder what the 2015 new Z is going to bring.

I've heard rumors of Nissan dropping to a 280 instead of the 380, WTF is that true? What they need to do is make the 370 platform tt from factory like the GTR. GTR will still have the advantage being AWD and 3.8L, IMO.

^That lighting is so assholish, makes me happy

You should stick manufacturer logos behind your bumper so when you light it up, others can see your victims. Hold the hamburger logo, for our sake ;)

Man, that car is BEAU-ti-Ful!!

My neighbor has a 2001 base Vette with 13K miles. He was thinking of trading it in for this exact same car. He wants to get it in Red however his second color choice is Yellow like yours. He is a life long Vette guy, so he will not have a problem with that Loyalty thingy they have.

G/L with yours. Your MOD list looks great as well.

Aside from the Stats, how does this car drive in real world compared to the Z and Nismo Z?

Interested in your impressions.

I loved my 350z, it was fun to drive but the Vette is way more powerful. I like both of them!

BTW, thank you your service!!

Congrats man! The Grand Sport is a great car. Unless you find an amazing deal on a Z06, the GS is a better deal at like $15-20k less. Having raced in both, the Z06 was only marginally faster on the straight. Granted a better driver could probably show me the real difference, but for me there wasn't a big enough difference to warrant the price.

You really must not know much about the new PDK.

I know is bad ***, however I like to feel connected with the car through a manual gear box.:driving:

I agree, but a pro in a Z06 WILL put a hurting on the GS, 99% of us, will never see the difference. Though, IMO, other than "looks", a standard C6, 2007+, isnt far off the GS, say at least 10K less too.However, for the looks, and the "few ticks off", its worth it to alot.
