That's the problem with this society, always comparing two completely different classes. And comparing just in general. Besides, I'll eat both Apples and Oranges (i'm not picky).

and yes this thread fails. Especially since the OP doesnt realize the GT-R isn't NA.

The GT-R isn't NA, and it's in a COMPLETELY different price range so wtf do you mean by low balled?

The original GT-R concepts were based on the Z's platform, so the Z is kind of the "Daddy" to the GT-R.

The GTR is a completely different car. The Z has always been the benchmark for performance for a reasonable amount of money. The GTR has alway sbeen the big monster from Nissan. I don't mind, as long as I own a Nissan I'm happy.

My advice, just take the Z for what it is without comparing it to anything else. Whether it's the best or not is completely irrelevant...there's ALWAYS a better car.

Oh I for one feel completley slighted. I no longer smile evey time I drive my z. I no longer relish the smooth power delivery, the beautiful exhaust note and the crisp gear changes. In fact, I can't even appreciate the gorgeous lines. I bought this car to own the top notch nissan and now I can't appreciate it at all.

Yeah, I'm begining to think "Who the eff cares."
This iteration of the Z (Z33) marked the rebirth of the Z-car since its departure during the mid-90's. The Z car itself has its own lineage, history, purpose, target demographics and design principles as compared to the GT-R.
I don't know how many folks can actually afford a GT-R (with all the dealer mark-ups), and I'm not saying I'm getting one myself. But I do know that if I ever were to get one (if/when the wife says it's ok), I'm keeping 'em both.

i dont feel bad about the gtr making its name for itself. the z will always be the z no matter what as far as im concerned. and still the most unique vehicle nissan has ever made and and kept reinventing over the years.
