Its either go shoot my brother's .338 canon and video tape its mayhem or play with you guys...
You know you are always more than welcome to ride along...and drive some, as well. Yup, it's Saturday. Meet before and then ride out. My only caveat is that I had promised a friend that we would go to the range! Bro, you and I are always either driving or shooting. *lol* I hate to bail on my friend, but am considering it as I get very few nice weekends to bang on the car and it looks to be a nice Saturday. Ugh. Sometimes it sucks being a "good guy".

The GT-R was much quicker out of the hole. It spooled faster and the AWD couldn't be touched from a launch. As far as acceleration goes, the Z seems to peel back the speedo more quickly, but the GT-R had more felt torque so it was deceptive. I feel a much greater connection with the Z due to the more compact body and feel as well as the actual clutch pedal and shifter. The Z seems to handle better, IMHO, than the GT-R did. My Z feels much more stable (less body roll) than the GT-R did, but I am on coilovers and do have sway bars whereas the GT-R was only lowered on springs. That said, the GT-R..I couldn't push it hard enough on the mountain roads to feel like it was ever about to get away from me. I am excited to see how the 370 performs on the same roads. With my 350Z TT VQ35DE/GReddy TT combo, I had a LOT of feathering to do to keep from losing the a$$ end on those mountain roads. No LSD and 600ft lbs of torque coming on in 1500 RPMs made for a wild ride.

Overall I am happier with the 370 than I was with the GT-R. For my street driving, it more than suffices and keeps me connected to the car.
