One could make the case that March 25th "Speed At Any Cost" comparison between the Nissan GT-R and the Nissan 370Z revealed the very high-value GT-R to be a rotten deal. Now, that was neither the post's purpose or the truth. However, one all-too-true outcome was the representation of the 370Z as a very good deal.

SPEED AT ANY COST? NISSAN 370Z VALUE ASSESSMENT WITH HYUNDAI GENESIS IN THE SHADOW
One could make the case that March 25th "Speed At Any Cost" comparison between the Nissan GT-R and the Nissan 370Z revealed the very high-value GT-R to be a rotten deal. Now, that was neither the post's purpose or the truth.
