Last day...

I looked at the GTR when I was shopping for the Camaro. 4 page disclaimer (inside the car and separate from the owner's manual) indicating that the warranty would be voided if the car were taken to the track turned me off.

Great choice! Good luck with the new ride!

I can't fault you for the trade. I would do the same. I'm holding out for a ZR1 in a few years, assuming we don't have another financial crisis.

Good luck!!

One question: What about it wasn't for you? I'm just curious. I'm not trying to sell you on it, as there are a few things about it (minor) that I don't like as well.

Gl with the Gtr, Idk why you didn't do a pulley change instead on the ZL, or take it to a good shop? You would be making way more HP and be faster than the Gtr? Plus less money for the kit than to trade in

You would need a ton of work on the zl1. I bet it wouldn't be very drivable at that point. Gtr is frigging fast.

Good luck. Absolutely love the GT-R. Be sure to post a pic when the swap is made. See if you can get a pic of the cars together.

My kids are big F&F fans and love the GTR. I had no idea it was an auto trans only car. Please post some pix, they are some sweet cars for sure!

Enjoy the godzilla and i wish you a lot of fun with it.

Huh? Why? There's a GTR here by me that runs mid 10's with some bolts ons and E85.
Pretty sure I could get damn close to him with my mods on E85 and I'm FAR from undrivable.

Subtle "you'll hate it after a few months" post.
I've heard that a few times.

Thanks guys. Loving the car so far. I absolutely made the right decision to send the Z to a new owner. I've had a 700 mile round trip today and I'm kind of exhausted. This thing is wicked fast from a dig...and I didn't really beat on it. I will say that getting mobbed at every gas station gets time consuming . I'm in Nashville tonight with some friends. I'll try to find some cool spots tomorrow and snap some pictures of the beast.

Thanks man. I need a back seat or I probably would own a ZR1.

I enjoyed the car, but I REALLY missed all wheel drive. I wanted a GTR when I bought the ZL1 and I've never been able to shake that feeling of "I settled" for a lower performing car. I also absolutely detest the fact that people can take a V6 and "clone" a ZL1. I got tired of people asking if it was a "real" ZL1. I also like the idea of running mid 10s with a tune

No man, you're good. For what it's worth... Those Falkens were/are great tires!
