Maybe you have driven a zillion performance cars and are the Stig himself but maybe you can just being happy for a guy excited to get his new wheels. JMHO...

You're going full retard right now.. As far as what kind if vehicle I drive, so what, I can only have an opinion if I'm the Stig? I drive the best full size pickup available in 2011-2013, and its customized to the point that it stands out more than any other F150... I like the ZL1 as I do the other Camaro models, but compared to the excitement and performance of a GTR, no way would I trade up/down on a ZL1...

From what others have said, and it may not be true, but if the OP goes through a lot of vehicles in short period of time, he probably is desensitized to the machinery and that's why he can't stick with a vehicle long (regardless of how awesome it is).. I know, from 17-22 years old, went through seven vehicles...

Asab · 11-28-2013, 01:29 PM

Russo I do keep some cars around... The main Problem with the GTR is truly in the Drivetrain I had to replace the trans 1 time and just a few days ago it would not go into reverse. And again the ride quality is BAD the clunks the noises ect ect. Also why the hell if my rotors are fine and I only need to replace the Pads do I have to replace the rotors stupid ! But if you don't do work at the dealer and use there parts they can VOID your warranty ???

Also pull off every nanny in the car and guess what if you blow something up NO WARRANTY !!! F That man stupid.

As far as ride......

If I'm so wrong why did the head engineer at Nissan say they need to work on comfort noise and refinement ?

I can only say to u go get a GTR and live with it you might love it but I know 4 other guys who traded it in or sold it to go to "lower performance" Cars

Welcome dude, hope you like the zl1. Post some pics when you get it.

Bosse'sBoss · 11-29-2013, 12:46 AM

If you where upgrading from a GTR that is a great car, the next logical steep will be a Ferrari 458 Italia. Engineers from Ferrari where really amazed on how the GTR could be that fast in the track. If you have a GTR you don't need a Porsche, the Corvette Z06 carbon goes head to head with the GTR. The new GTR has the lap record at Nurburgring, and will beat fairly easy a ZL1.
Of the vehicles that you mention it will be for me in this order:
1- Nissan GTR
2- '14 Corvette Stingray w/. the Z51
3- Camaro ZL1

Just based on my budget and that I need the back seat, best choice is the ZL1

Asab · 11-29-2013, 01:14 AM

If you look at my other photos I have a 458

Look at my photos.. So I agree with you on that !

The Corvette is nice but every Joe will have one around here soon the ZR1 type Stingray WILL have my attention but never a base car.

I think the Zl1 is going to be a classic car someday also along with the GT500
The ZL1 is a Muscle Car I miss that...... THATS why I'm getting a ZL1

As far as a track car I can get in my 458 to do that !

Asab...........

jayscamaro · 11-29-2013, 02:18 AM

Your crazy Lol but good luck. Cousin has a gtr. Love the zl1 but there is just no competition between the two to me. Godzilla is too bad ass

bumblebeecamaro · 11-29-2013, 12:46 PM

I never knew the GTR had so many problems....

Now you did it. I have been beginning to look at 458's. I was set to buy an F430 but backed out and bought the ZL1. I really like the GTR's but there are a lot of them here in So Cal. Red, grey and black I've seen so far. I need to PM you about your 458?

Matt @ FSP · 11-29-2013, 01:07 PM

It was always a pleasure to work with ASAB.. Plus his car collections are always cool, multiple projects going on like every car he ever bought came to us besides that orange evo thing LOL

Nice looking cars Asab. I used to drive my own 911 Carrera, and had a chance to drive the Lamborguini Gallardo & the Ferrari 430. And the Ferrari has been the best car that I had driven. I imagine that your 458 is even better. Why don't you try the new Viper T/A edition or even the new GTR Nismo edition?

MTNdew · 11-29-2013, 04:18 PM

kinda surprised you had many issues with your GTR. Im a GTR tech at a nissan dealer and i havent seen many major issues with them. But over all the GTR can be ignorant to drive. If its not WOT its not happy. plus the price of maintaining the GTR is completely ridiculous. you will be happy with the ZL1 its still a beast!!

gen=5 · 11-29-2013, 04:41 PM
