One other thing. The GT-R and Z no matter the price are NOT COMPETITORS.
370 IS A 2 SEAT SPORTS CAR.
GT-R is a 2+2 GRAND TOURING CAR.
YOU GUYS SEE THE NUMBERS ONLY. ITS LIKE TO MOST OF YOU, DRIVING DYNAMICS HAVE NO BEARING ON WATS COMPETITION N WHAT ISN'T.
YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE DEDICATED GT ENTHUSIASTS THAT WOULDN'T BE CAUGHT DEAD IN A 2 SEATER AND VICE-VERSA. AND STILL.
ITS FUNNY HOW PEOPLE ARE STUCK ON THE POWER BEING CLOSE BUT NEVER STOPPED TO THINK ON THIS VERY OBVIOUS ALTERNATIVE ISSUE. Its like comparing a truck and a van. Both are big. Both haul, but both are of a different breed. N bought for different reasons.
The gt is the long term endurance car.
The sports car is a shorter term track car.
On the civilian side if u r a road tripper. And still want your sports car power while sacrificing about 10% of overall performance. (Not always true but the general consensus) You buy a gt. You can cram up to 3 people in it n u usually have a small but useable trunk. Enough for 2 suitcases n a small duffel.
A sports car is usually your "chillen car". 1 extra seat. Tighter wheelbase. Almost no trunk(mostly not always) no room for long trip storage and short on luxury features a GT would usually have. (Not always true these days.) Tighter suspension set up. Lower to ground. Way smaller overall.
The sports car and the GT are both very engaging excellent handling cars BUT there is an obvious
DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO. THEY DO NOT! DIRECTLY COMPETE.
