tested the 2013 370Z coupe GT with automatic transmission. the interior is much better than 350. steering is sharper. the car is refined, seems quicker and looks better (to me).

Automatic transmissoin isnt bad at all. one 6MT test drive to go (dreading the clutch pedal tho)

why not start with a base model instead of a GT? I believe it would be a couple hundred pounds lighter. this is a toy / track toy, ya?

The difference in weight is around 42 lbs. it will be tracked, lightly in the start and the frequency will change in time. I will also be driving it whenever im not with my family so the GT is more suitable.

A funny one. I am trying to get the 370z financed through a bank. In the start they guy who is responsible for auto loans ( he has no idea about cars) said to me that they will propably reject cuz they dint finance sports cars. When i asked him what constitues a sports car, he didnt know. Its all perception to him. Finally he said that though its a coupe, the "Nissan Altima 370z" is just like an Accord Coupe, so he approved the application. Brainy dude.

370's fine for the track as long as you buy a oil cooler, diff cooler, tranny cooler for the auto, and the fuel starvation fix so you can turn right haha. Other than that, great track car.

As for the clutch in a 6mt just pull the helper spring and adjust for the play. Simple as hell to fix.
