My setup goes like this, prices include install and tax: 370z 6MT, sport, touring ($40k), Supercharger, lightened flywheel and clutch ($9k), Headers, cats, exhaust ($2.7k), coil overs, camber plates, aligment, 305 RE11 tires in the back, 275's in the front (3k).

The differences on my 370z vs GTR: $55k vs. $80k. 6MT transmission with lightened flywheel vs SMG. 2 seater vs 4 (shorter wheel base). 530hp vs 480. 3250lbs vs. 3850 lbs. 305 & 275 width RE11 Bridestone vs 285 and 255 width RE050A runflat Bridgestones. Coil over manual adjust shocks with racing springs vs. electronically damped shocks with street springs.

Over all, my Z should be faster than a GTR at anything other than 0-60, but who knows.... it's just speculation. What I can tell you is that I don't really care for the heavy feel of the GTR, the lack driving involvement, the boxy looks, the larger over all size and the lack of raw grip. I like cars for how they drive and how they make me feel when I'm alone on a winding road with no one else around. I don't really have the desire to impress people with how much I can spend. That's why why I drive a 370Z. :-)
