Black paint is horrid.
Tt 370 will be outperformed by a gtr.


I had the very fortuitous option to choose b/t them, my budget was 125k and after doing my research and test driving, I chose the z. A lot of it had to do w/ not being a track rat, some of it had to do w/ having more car than I am capable of handling, a huge part of it came from not trusting myself to not do something stupid while street driving.


But the only real regrets I have about the car r the black paint and the fact that the gtr is a beast. I got to test drive a pretty fair number of exotics when I showed the salesmen my bank account, and the gtr launch outshined all of them.

Glad to have u over here and gly search.

And there are many other cars that can outperform the GTR. There's always something better, something faster, something rarer. I just want something rewarding, that I can beat around and have fun with. I just want to DRIVE.

Yeah, that is a maze that is hard t get off of.
But w/ your experience w/ the 350, I think u are ahead of more than a few of us.

The positives will definitely be that as a daily driver or an occasional medium/long trip car will be noticeably more tolerable in the z. I love the straightforward manny tranny (no not that ) of the z.

The driving experience of the z doent disappoint in any way that I have found yet and it does have this pretty cool forum w/ good info and members on it.

Side note- I'm not trying to trash either car, I love em both, just trying to share my $.02
