I'll choose a used 370Z (which, I did) as a daily driver and a family car for the rest.

Here's the deal - reasonably, I want fun AND practicality. My wife drives a 2007 Xterra with nearly 100,000 miles and it suits us well. Recently, I switched from a Mustang GT to a 370Z and haven't looked back. The Z is the first car that I've owned that wants to rev. No more dreaded "Mustang hang." The 370Z has given me tons of value with so few negatives. Efficient.

Furthermore, making a 370Z badass is black or white. You either max-out bolt-ons, or you choose forced induction. With the Mustang, I felt that I was "chasing the dragon." I think that may be the same if you purchase a GT-R. They're both drugs, but one lets you spend less, all the while satisfied.

Sorry I've droned on. Just the opinion from a middle-aged fella.
