Still have yet to take delivery of the car. Sam still has a couple of tuning tweaks to make and I have added a bit of other parts to the build list at the last moment. Nothing motor/powertrain wise...just some sway bars and other incidentals.

The GT-R was a great car, but I quickly tired of the disconnect caused by the paddle shifters. Remember, I drive solely on the street and the GT-R leaves a bit to be desired there. The 370Z Nismo was more of an afterthought when I began to entertain other avenues. I came from a fully built 350Z TT and wanted something similar, but with less cost and greater reliability.
I can't compare the GT-R to the 370Z TT'ed as I have not yet gotten the car back from Sam...but, I can say that even N/A, the 370Z has more of a "sports car" feel and I have more of a connection with the car. I am anxious to see what the TT version of the 370Z feels like.
As far as rides go, they are free!
