GTR FTW. I'm already saving for this.

Just seems like weird line up? Why no 911 turbo? caddy CTS V? mustang GT 500? Lambo? Fast F cars? Lexus super car?

I believe the lineup is based off of new 2013 MY supercars and sports cars that are used in the "Best Driver's Car of The Year" feature. There is some carryover from the year before. They had the BRZ in last year, GT500, etc.

Here is last year's race:

If I had waited a year to get a new car and not gotten the Z this year, the ST would be high on my list for sure.

SPOHN · 08-26-2013, 08:24 AM

If only the Z was all wheel drive

Very impressive. I can't wait to see what the next generation GTR will look like. I hope Nissan keeps it looking very masculine, but maybe a little but prettier. If that makes sense.

Yeah it's a cool car. Lots of fun to drive and very practical. We just took it on a trip this weekend and averaged 30-35 mpg on the highway depending on speed, can haul a bunch of crap, and still have fun when the roads get twisty or when we just want to put the pedal down. ST + Z make for a really good combo.

As much as I like the GT-R, I'd still pick the Vanquish over anything in the lineup. It's just so damn sexy.

It's funny when the "practical" choice would be the GTR.

(We have winters...)

This. My ST replaced my Expedition, not my Z!

I have an inkling that the Z will be replaced by a 2015 Mustang if they get it right (i.e. the wife agrees)

I love that F-Type look and sound, and am very glad it placed well in the driver's car contest. If I had $60-100k to spend on a car, I'd actually include that one in the short list to test drive. It's sexy!
