Verdict on the Z.

blackflag · 02-25-2010, 12:37 PM

Alright, now listen to this.

I've had the Z about a month or so now. I think I've figured out what I like so much about this car. I've driven a lot of cars over the years, and I can usually push a car to it's limits. But, with this car, I can't (yet) find the limits of this car. It's a better car than I am a driver.

I haven't driven the GT-R, but the reviews say that what's disappointing about it is that it's not a challenging car. One reviewer said that he would buy the Z first. I think I see what they're talking about now - this car is just plain fun to drive. It's a real driver's car.

I'm all the way into this car. The end.

i love mine too, had it about 3 months and can honestly say everytime i sit in it that it brings a big grin to my face. its just a plain fun car to drive not to meantion everyone looks at it when i go by (might be the color). only downside i've experienced is that cops like it just as much (might also be the color).

With the GT-R, all the electronics it has makes the average Joe and amazing driver. With the Z, a lot of that is missing, which means the driver is more involved and it gives you a more satisfying driving experience...not to say i wouldn't enjoy a drive in a GT-R...

Still brings a smile and is fun to drive after one year of ownership as well.

One of my favorite parts of the day is the walk back to my car at the end of the day

I love my car

When you look at a GT-R it really is a poor exterior design...for a sports car it is in plain words extremely boring looking. So it is understandable why someone would want a Z over a GT-R. Its easy to see that Nissan spent 80% of the design time on the GT-R engine and 15% of its design time on the car's outer shell design.

I still love my Z after 13 months! When it snows here and I can't drive it, I get very upset hahaha But Sh*t..give me a GTR any day! I drove one at the Nissan dealership a few months back and that thing is sick! Believe it or not...when I brought it back 15 minutes later...the manager offered it to me for 69k and trade with my car. (Sticker price was 112k) Sadly..I already pay an arm and a leg for the Z so I just laughed and said bye
