Motor Trend Car of the Year....

Ok? Want to take a look at my truck or Bill’s? There is not a spot of rust on eiether, everything is pretty much mint :gotme: .

EDIT: My cd player sticks sometimes

It also depends on how you take care of it! Im sure if you dont get it under coated for years and years of winter it will get rusty no matter what.

Now back on subject i think the ZR1 should have gotten car of the year but thats just me. I mean yea the GTR is nice but for the money i would image the ZR1 has more to offer. The GTR won because its easier for those old men to drive that tested it.

I <3 GTR threads

The GTR is around $40k less then the ZR1 FYI. BTW, I thinks both cars are meh the GTR just sucks more.

meh, bang for buck - Z06

Zr1 and GTR can blow me :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t kick it out of the garage. :shrug: Besides, it’s not like MT is saying it’s the best at anything. They’re just picking their favorite. Kind of like Consumer Reports. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok. The GTR is 106k + taxes wherever you go.

No, it doesn’t. What year STI?

not quite, not sure where you got those numbers from. there are many gtr flowing on ebay for less than 80k.

yea if i would ever get around to giving the truck a buff it would look brand new. cleaned the interior about a month ago and that looked brand new. truck has 184,500 miles on it. its about maintenance

Good maintenance on ANY car goes a long way, that’s for damn sure…

Maintance is key

The GTR is the greatest car in the history of man kind… might be the greatest thing ever made out of metal… greatest thing not made of wood?

:rofl: you guys need to get out more … arguing till your blue in the face about 2 cars you’ve never even driven!

wait, is someone with a F-Bod commenting on how Nissan’s build quality isn’t satisfactory enough to win a car of the year award?

Takes one to know one?

:stuck_out_tongue:

The car of the year award goes to cars of that actual year. If just because one owns a F-body means they can not judge, then why would anyone that doesnt own a GTR be able to have an opinion.

i am a nissan guy for life, so as far as the technology is concerned the gtr is the most advanced car made period. it just about drives itself, which imo is its downfall. I personally (can’t belive im saying this) would take the zr1 corvette as its sheer fun and scary to drive. but above that the viper acr would take the cake for me. i want a car i have to DRIVE not a car that DRIVES by itself. Anyone can drive a gtr. not everyone can drive a zr1.

Exactly, i forget where but i remember reading on a Mercedes or BMW how there making manuals more like automatics. The electronics are gonna control the clutch and when downshifting it automatically rev matchs… Poeple are just getting lazy in my book!
