Would you have gotten a GTR?

GTR = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

which I don't have......

CBRich · 06-20-2011, 02:55 PM

Definitely GT-R. I'd be lying to myself (like some here) if I said otherwise. ;-)

HKYStormFront · 06-20-2011, 02:58 PM

100% GTR by far, i've driven both... the Z's great, the GTR is better.

and it's not an "automatic" transmission. it's an automated manual, there's a difference. yes i like to row my own gears but this is the best of both worlds. you get the control of a manual with the easy to use daily driveablity of an auto while it shifts (up and down) faster than anyone or any auto ever could

yah but you're only talking about clutch vs torque converter. everything else is automatic. daily drivabilty for me is easier in MT and i dont care how much faster the electric clutchbox can shift. it's not fun on straight boring roads around here.

fair enough

Wish I could have one of each and a 911, but...
I actually considered (for a split second) trading the Z in for a GTR, but I just prefer my sports cars with clutches. Even if it's slower off the line, I love my Z and I love the connection to the car that a MT gives a driver. Also, I really like the small size of the Z. No back seat for me. You only need those in minivans and camaros!

For me... Z hands down because GTR is automatic. The driving experience is just not the same no matter how fast the GTR's transmission can shift for me.

Yeah when I was getting insurance quotes for my Z, it was actually a little less to insure a GT-R than the Z.

unless you're 18- or have a terribly worse driving record than me(which I doubt is possible), you're full of it.
