Hi guys, I'm seeking some advice as I'm considering an upgrade.

For all the 370GT drivers, how does the 370GT compare to the 350GT to drive? I know it is heavier but it has 40kw more... On paper it does 5.7sec for 0-100km/h??

How does it handle?

There's 5 speed and 7 speed. Can we import the 7 speed models? Or is manual a better option?

Your opinions would be appreciated :)

Also how much do u guys think the market price is for 2006 350GT auto?

From experience

I had the v35 for 2 years and upgraded to the v36 this year. BEST MOVE EVER.

i loved my v35, and sticking with what you love was the most logical choice!

good luck with the sale, $25k is probably market value right now

I have not owned a v35 but on paper there should not be a huge difference in performance. There would be some subtle differences but nothing to justify the extra cash. The reason to upgrade would be more based on looks in my opinion, interior and exterior wise the v36 trounces the v35 any day of the week.

They dont handle too badly and are reasonably quick in a straight but keep in mind, just like the v35, they are not a pure sports car so dont expect it to handle like a go kart.

I've had mine for a few months now and all I can say is that I am more than happy with it. I have been driving a brand new Jaguar XF here in Houston for the past few days and honestly would rather be back in my 370. The Jag is VERY nice but when I remember that it is a $100,000+ car and my 370 cost me under $40,000 there is no contest. The Jag has a few interior additions that I like but they are all very small things and it simply doesnt come close performance and handling wise.

5, 7 speed or manual is completely up to you. Personally I would normally choose a manual over an auto any day of the week, but seeing as the 370 is more about luxury with a little sportiness than pure sportiness I think the sequential auto is good compromise. 5 or 7 speed will simply come down to the model year of the car that you get, 2008 will be 5 speed 2009+ will be 7 speed. Obviously if you can afford it, get the newest one you can but you will get a better deal on importing an 08 now and then the 09's will get cheaper next year.

Good luck.

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.

      It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
