370Z gone....New GT in the house!...>

Funny how the deal came together, but lets say it was one I couldn't resist! New GT Premium, 3.73's and Brembo package....
Put 1" FRPP springs and an adjustable Panhard bar on Saturday. More to come....Liking this car a lot!

Generally speaking I think the Brembo wheels are absolutely ugly... but I think the white actually helps them to a large degree.
Beautiful car, man!

I like them a lot, and in person they're beautiful. ....Ford did rip them off from the Porsche GT3-RS though...

Great looking car! How is the ride with the springs? Please see my thread here for my odd experience with my Brembo test drive.

I'd love to hear your opinion since you have lowered 1 inch on FRPP springs. This is something I would likely do as well if I were to purchase a GT.

The white will look fabulous once you put some stripes on it. Dark blue, grabber blue, red - whatever. White cars really come alive with stripes.

Very nice modshack. You don't know me, but I followed quite a bit of your posts on the370z. I've thought you were one of the better posters on the many automotive forums I frequent.

I have a g35 sedan, and it was intention for quite a while to get a 370z once I paid off my car. But that has changed, and now my plan is to get a 5.0 hopefully next summer.

Having said that, I have a particular interest in following your endeavors with your new car. I will be particularly interested in reading your thoughts on contrasting the dynamic qualities of the GT versus the 370z and your previous cars(TT right, or was it an r32?).

Thanks T-Ray!....I am pretty well known with the 370 guys and did come up with come innovative stuff for that car....They are not happy over my departure..
I am also pretty well known worldwide with the Audi TT guys (my specialty)...Probably over 60,000 posts going now with that group. The parts I design, make and sell are primarily for that car with stuff in 38 countries around the world now!. Maybe I'll get inspired with the GT! Stay tuned. The gears are always turning...-)
