You're 100% correct. I could have totally lived with the numb feel and horrible weight-shift of the 370Z if it had done what I wanted it to, though...provide nice, reliable transportation.

But it can't even do that. It does NOTHING well. Except look good parked, but I don't really care what others think about what I drive, as is obvious by my trades (WS.6 to a G20 to a Z06 to a 370Z, in that order).

Strongly thinking about the BRZ STI when the '15 model drops (rumors of turbo for the '15 model when the contract stating that they won't add FI expires, if not, still, NA tweaks matter a LOT on a 2700# car). If they really do tart it up some, that car will be a market-segment dominator.

Now that I am looking to build a house in 2-3 years, though, and am going to be taking a $40K/year pay-cut, I am very car-note conscious, lol! I'd prefer to stay in the $35K financed range or lower, if possible. If the '15 GT comes out and is total sex though, I'd stretch that, but I think the BRZ, if they do an STI model, will give me what I'm looking for.
