^They're the same car so no it wasn't built to battle with each other lol. I agree though, the FRS/BRZ is on a completely different class... doubt it could take on the Z

:iagree: A joint venture.

:iagree: yet another one

The FRS/BRZ is a Veyron killer..

i think the FR-S was designed to battle a different class of car, not take on the Z ...... i believe it was built to do battle with Suburu's BRZ , from what ive read .. THATS the battle in which the car was built for...Suburu, plus its in a different class than the Z .... i view the FR-S and BRZ as sports cars but sports car on a "lesser" scale, doing battle on the lower levels.

The car definitely looks great, but with 160whp, going down from our stock 250-270whp would definitely be noticeable.

Either way the car is too small for my tastes, why add rear seats when you can't even use them?

Great looking car though, i'll give it that.

Been discussed already a few times in the "Other Vehicles" section, which is where this thread should go.

I think the FR-S, minus the power department, is a way better platform to start with. They don't have to worry about cracking VVEL :(.

I don't know if that's exactly the case. It's kind of moot to start comparing modded vs stock. I think the Z is a great platform if you plan on going F.I. as a few members have show. You would run into the same old issues with the FR-S/BRZ going with F.I. Also, at the moment, no one really knows how much power the 4U-GSE / FA20 boxer engine can handle without significant upgrade to the block. I think Greddy has a kit that's suppose to get close to 340hp/325 ft.lb....not bad...but nothing close to what you'd get with a TT'ed 370z. Being so new, aftermarket products for the BRZ/FR-S is going to be pretty sparse for a while. FR-S/BRZ buyers may not stay stock for long, but I think most will only do the same old intake/exhaust mods. I doubt a lot will jump on voiding the warranty off the bat with a forced induction.

BRZ and FR-S -- although interesting, they are not sports cars and are in a diiferent class altogether from a Z. Any car with a back seat is no longer a real sports car -- IMO. Sporty coupe is a more appropriate name for them.

What is going to be interesting will be to watch the community of FWD folks migrate to the BRZ/FR-S and see how many of them find out the sometimes unforgiving nature of RWD.

I think they are sports cars. They just aren't powerful ones.

I cant believe I was the first one to crack up at that? I love this forum so much.

Lol trading my Z for a BRZ no way, our car is in a different class its just like trading your mini cooper s to a smart car lol.

When i'm driving my Z i feel like a successful businessman but driving a BRZ would make me a feel that i just got promoted as a supervisor at walmart.
