If you want something comparable to hold you over and cost isn't the issue, why not step into a Vette? The new C7 looks to be amazing and has a manual transmission if that's what you're after. Or a Z06 which is at the same level as the GTR. Or are you super loyal to the Nissan brand?

A stage 1 sc kit is only like 10 hp less than a stage 1 tt kit..... for a grand less take the sc.... but if you wanna build on it and get more and more boost ya tt but he wants a filler car.... get the GTM SC kit you'll make 420-450 whp stage 1 and your used to 490-500whp won't be much off... or get the stage 2 and make about the same....

I'd keep the GTR. But if you have to trade for a 370z, get a 6mt and boost it.

OP wants an auto because he lives here where traffic is made

Half true....traffic here is semi-mad but somewhat manageable.

But OP is just plain LAZY and too much used to shifting with his fingers for all his cars

don't get a Z

Lol. Didn't see there is page 2 and page 3 till I hit the submit button. So never mind.

Op needs to test drive an auto Z, see if he likes the tranny first, very different than the GTR one.

Hey OP, if finance isn't a big deal, you want new and different experience, want auto box, what made you pick a 370z over a used 911 or M3?

I agree. Especially considering the price of making the 7AT hp friendly.

skip the Z, get a mustang 5.0!

That's my default response to anyone buying a car.

Jay Leno says it's more fun to drive a less powerful car fast.
Considering how many high end cars he has, Jay probably knows what he's talking about
So, IMO you should do it.

SS_Firehawk · 03-12-2013, 03:47 PM

I say get a FI'd Z from a forum member selling it. If it's really a filler car, at least you can look at the glass 3/4 full instead of half empty.

It's probably also safer to drive a less powerful car fast, considering all the supercar crashes that we have seen on videos

TheGreatOne · 03-12-2013, 05:09 PM

Well the GTR - Z move has been done before. So seems to be some value in doing it.

Easier to drive close to the Z's limits so can be more enjoyable and for me it would be about the tranny, so I would switch to a 6mt Z

However if you would be creeping back into an auto Z, I'd keep the GTR and go nuts.
