Nissan 370Z
Nissan 370Z
I was uber impressed with the speed and handling of the Nissan GT-R that ran at our past 2 events, but, personnally find it butt ugly. Why couldn't Nissan have put the package under the great looking 350/370Z body?

I think the new GT-R looks pretty cool in a brutal/utilitarian sort of way. It's never been a "beautiful" car. It is just too big and heavy, even for a GTR. I'd like it a lot more at 7/8ths the size and weight.
Still, there's no arguing with the outright performance capability of the car.
Personally, I'm more of a Z (240Z that is...) guy than a GT-R guy anyway. Smaller/simpler/lighter-weight/rwd appeals to me more than bigger/more-complex/heavier/awd.
It looks like the new 370Z will be moving more towards 240Z ideals. If it's anywhere near 3000 lb. (less is fine, of course!), I may be in the market for one...

Yes, Dan. Utilitarian in a Hummer sort of way!DanB wrote:I think the new GT-R looks pretty cool in a brutal/utilitarian sort of way. It's never been a "beautiful" car. It is just too big and heavy, even for a GTR. I'd like it a lot more at 7/8ths the size and weight.

See Carl, over 1800 people belong to the Aztek Fan Club. Maybe we should invite them to run at a Com event

Re: Nissan 370Z
Rumor has it that a club member may have just got his hands on a GTR
No it's not me!

Re: Nissan 370Z
Didn't club member Michael Wilson just compete with his GT-R in the last two events?
I don't believe the GT-R would have anything to offer you, anyway, Chris. I mean, after driving (faster than anyone probably has a right to, btw) exotica like Volvo wagons, Nissan Sentras, and of course the almighty Miata, how could a GT-R be anything but a disappointment to ya?!

I hope to be able to sweet talk Mike Geldart it to letting me see
how much of a disappointment it might be to drive his black beauty.
