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.
