So what's the benefit of the battery? Longer lasting and lighter perhaps?

yellow tops are deep cycle batteries so it can withstand more abuse.

So I finally cracked her open for a few short seconds today and fell back into a really happy state and completely understood why I bought the Z....

I much prefer the Z for looks over the GTR. As for power, the Z has enough.

Was thinking about starting a poll on who likes which better. As for me it's the Z. While the GTR has performance, it's just too big & too much like a Mustang to me. For the price, I could think of a few other cars I would much rather have.

YMMV

And use the GT-R as winter car because it is 4WD.

Meh, I wouldn't bother posting the thread. It would encourage disharmony regarding cars we all love. It's not really in the spirit of the community.

Just my $.02.

I'm alright, thanks for asking!

Went thru a drive through today and the tool that handed me my order said that I had a nice ride, but then went on to say he has a Trans Am that'll beat it, and that he figured the Tranny prob weighs four times as much.

What a douchbag.

No idea. Doesn't really matter. Wouldn't have changed how I felt about him, that's for sure.
