Great second post! Sounds like you don't own a Z.

FYI the Z still is the baddest na nissan. What do you mean getting low balled?

It's funny how ppl compare the Z to a GTR and vise versa. What's the point.

The GTR won't be replacing the Z. It's just there Flagship Sports Car to compete against other higher end cars. Factory built against Factory built cars (stock basically).

The Z will always be one-of-a-kind. Excellent styling, great design.

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

+1

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).

Badest in the NA planet? How so? There are plenty of NA cars that will smoke the Z.

I'll race one once I drop in a GTM 4.2 short block + Cosworth heads + my Stillen SC Competition stage set up and tuned. As the current Modified Mag says with this set up, minus the GTM + the Brian Crower 4.1 Stroker Kit = 500+ whp with 2852 lb curb weight.

Most likely unfair for the GTR since it is Factory and my Z will be heavily modified. But it does have the awd advantage.

GT-R= +$70000
Z= +30000


Why are we comparing these cars? Do you know the history of the Z.

350z vs GT-R

Thats like comparing a Boxster to a 997 GT3 RS

These cars are as far apart as they can be! If you mean are we bothered the 350Z is no longer the Flagship Model (UK at least) = Not that bothered....

I wouldn't ricer flyby a GT-R...I would thumbs up, and keep rollin...unless I was rollin with some twins first name Greddy, then it might be a slightly different response. You know however clean your ride is someone is going to HATE, and say "the GT-R is faster" like you didn't know it
