Nissan 370Z Forum  

Would you have gotten a GTR?

GT-R all the way. I will be looking for a low mileage 2012 GT-R in about 4-5 years when my Z is paid off.

I'd be more worried about the dealership detecting the presence of Cobb tuning and using that to void your warranty.

You chaps have a much better legal system all round when it comes to cars. Here in the UK it's a battle. We've had Nissan only supplying Dunlops to dealers for them to charge over £500 yes pounds a tyre! All good fun! Still a cracking car and it's going to be a real wrench to let her go in Sept.

I'm sure the 370 will be fun.....and a better track option if only for the tyres!

I can't tell you how many girls have either come up to my car or shouted from a distance that they loved my car, thought it was cute, wondered how fast it was, or wanted a ride. I love everything about this damn car. And I put in my new radio today and its just damn near perfect for a stock NISMO.

I don't know man. The only attention my car seems to get is from other guys. The only time females complemented my car was when 2 middle aged women saw me parking in a mall parking lot

I hope you all really think its ugly and its not a small pee pee syndrome the 350z guys have about the 370... lol


A white GTR with a drop and exhaust with those huge tips looks hot as hell to me... I guess I am in the minority here but Id love a GTR in my driveway... next to my Z , and if I had to pick 1 it would def be the GTR, even though its not a full manual...

having driven a f430 scuderia in las vegas at exoticsracing.com and using a transmission like the GTR's it def isnt your everyday automatic..and from what I have read the GTRs tranny is quicker/better than the ferrari's

Any car in white looks hawt!

Well, the 430 gearbox will feel more like a manual since its not a dualclutch but rather actuator driven. In such case, u will get a better kick in the back when u shift. I suppose the gtr one will feel more like a golf gti, just with loads more power.
