Almost bought a BRZ, but got myself a 370Z instead.
 
Hi folks, I was checking out a Scion FR-S but with lack of options, I went to Subaru for a BRZ Limited. For $2k you get a lot of bells and whistles... BUT that wouldn't be enough. I would need to get rid of them dinky, skinny tires and a better looking/sounding exhaust. That'll be another $3k probably. So it keeps on adding up. No matter the hype, so-called handling, "fun to drive", etc. at the end of the day, you still lacking power.

So... why not get a 370Z that's already has balls- wouldn't have to change a darn thing! I'm so happy with my purchase. I miss my 300ZX. Left to NY and I sold it to a friend. After 4 years and back in Los Angeles, I know my Pearl White 370Z will fill the void.

It's raining now, can't get a good pic. But here's the inside. Notice I got the navigation package, only because I cant stand looking at the useless, cubby hole!

congrats! the brz would have been underwhelming

Congrats on the Z. Good choice. I think I drove all the sport cars and muscle cars up to about $40K and I have to say the BRZ was my second favorite. It did seem to have some pretty good handling characteristics, but OMG does it need a turbo. I drove the Z and it was all over. Perfect balance of handling and performance. I'm happy too. Congrats again!

Beatiful setup! Just like mine! White was my foirst choice but there were none to be had. Do you have the Sport Package?

No i didn't get it the price was adding up and I do like the 18" wheels. Suspension is good as is, don't need it too rough or stiff and I'll never track. Just normal driving.:rolleyes:

No tracking here either unless you count the freeways on early Saturday morning. I see you are just up the road, if we have a gathering in the area you'll have to come!

Yea. I'll show up. But mine may be boring, I'm not going to do any mods. Think it's good as is. I did get a clear bra/shield on it though. That's about it.

Good choice and congrats. The cubby hole is definitely not useless!

Yea, I thought hard about it... I was already over budget as-is. So getting rid of the cubby took priority.

Welcome, I hate the FRZ

Nice video. My parents had an orange 260ZX with the louvers on the rear window. I remember that push button stereo, think I was 5 years old at the time. And I miss my white 300ZX. It's still awesome.
