2009 Nissan GT-R vs. 2009 Nissan 370Z

I agree. You'll be one of the first people to drive it!

I'll take the M3 home...

The 370Z is ugly, oh well, at least it's not fugly...

By the way, did anyone notice that the 370Z has almost exactly the same wheel as the '09 IS2/350? I wonder who copied who. Here's the picture for comparison:

I'd take the 370Z. the GTR is great but it's a long term car and will be there for a while while the Z will be gone soon.

GT-R. 370z is worthless.

Take the new one home.

I'd take the Nissan.

you put it next to an ugly super sized car like that and it looks small and sporty. i'd drive the Z to see if its performance actually redeems its ugly looks. (like its GTR bretherin)

The 370z might have a better chance of remaining functional the entire weekend.

Compare and contrast the chassis feel. Take the 370z.

I'd take the new 370z home only if I've already driven the GT-R >5 times and would have it as an option in the future. Both very desirable cars tho

"I'd take the Nissan"

Uh, both are Nissans.

I love the 370z rims!! Wait... don't they just look like Audi A5's?

In those photos, I almost can't tell the difference between the 370Z and the old 350Z. Are the differences noticable in person? Strange, it looked so good in silver.

Spot on toyzm. They look like the a5 s-line rims (which in turn look like some kind of lambo gallardo wheel from a couple of years ago).

370Z, sure it's not the super car, but it's the fresh face.

Im not a huge fan of Nissans but Id take the 370 home as Im soooooooooooooooo tired of hearing about the GTR.

"By the way, did anyone notice that the 370Z has almost exactly the same wheel as the '09 IS2/350? I wonder who copied who."

Very similar wheel design Louiswei but Audi has had a similar design since the introduction of the Audi S5 3.2. In the end its not who copied who its about execution.

You got the 370Z for (maybe) 2 weeks,the GT-R for a year. Should you really ask?

Take the Z. The GT-R will prolly be in the workshop again.

"GT-R. 370z is worthless."

Ouch. Why do you say that?

I'm surprised nobody noted the ironic sequential license plate on the GT-R. :)

Leave both and hop in the CTS.

I would take the M3 home.

Whenever I'm asked at the rental car service desk which of two similar vehicles I would like, my standard answer is: the one with the fewest miles in it.

I am constantly amazed at their reaction to my answer. It ranges from 'way cool, dude" to "that's genius!"

Therefore take the 370Z. It will make you appreciate the GT-R that much more.

ha - if only I had such decisions to make. Hmmm.... which gofast car needs to be abused tonight. What a choice. But in any case, take the Z. It really does have a better chance of staying together plus it's "all new!". You'd get to be the first to drive it!

Tough choice, I'd take the 370Z though, just because it's new, and the GT-R will be around some other weekend.

That's easy, go with the 370Z. The GT-R will be around for a while.

Go with the 370z. It's not as ugly as the GTR, and still has more performance than any person needs on the street. Probably more involving and fun to drive in the canyons too, without all the auto-pilot gimmickry of the GTR. Maybe I'm too old to appreciate the GTR's video-game hype, but frankly, the car just doesn't appeal to me. Give me an old Miata for a run down Decker Canyon road any day! Fun at any speed is what a sports car should be.

take the z
its rarer than the gtr

The Z looks soooooooooooooo bad.

Take the white Toyota Tacoma parked next to the GT-R.

Did you really get back in the Z and turn the wheels for your different photo angles? Now that's obsessive... or maybe good attention to detail. I can't decide.

Hey, who's ridin' that Kawi KLR650? Any oil consumption issues? I like that bike.

i'd rather have the X5

all i have to say is take the lady in red home - she is def a little spicier ;)

370z, it naturally handles well with less technology

i would hope the z has more driving spirit than the technologically advanced gtr

""I'd take the Nissan"

Uh, both are Nissan"

Good point, take the coupe home.

I agree plus the 370Z might be more dependable than the GTR.

GTR is a piece.

And it's already yesterday's news.

370Z is a car that actually makes sense in terms of its pricing.

Visually, the 370Z is a huge disappointment - looks like a face lifted 350Z. We waited how long for this? Weak.

God the 370Z is even uglier than the GT-R.

Neither car is that attractive. If you arent wealthy I'm sure your only choice would be the Z. I am starting to wonder of Nissan can truly design an attractive car. The Altima is the best thing they have from a design perspective.

so which car did you take? even though I love the GT-R, I would take the Z just because you'll be the first on the block to be driving one.

Take the 370Z. After all, we have the GT-R for a year. And it's red.

""I'd take the Nissan"

More specifically, the one with the V6.

I'll take the one with 4 wheels...

I would take the 370z cause its new and you can always get the gtr later. I was there and i loved the new Z.

Go classic. Take the one that's been around for over 30 years.
