Read what the BRZ / FR-S Toyobaru said about our car.

Well, we can definitely conclude that the 370z is faster in a video game

If serious, look at the Ford Focus ST (should be out in September). MSRP is about the same, performance is very similar, ST has a nicer interior and probably a better overall suspension. I was very close to pulling the trigger on the MS3 when the ST hit Europe and started getting rave reviews. Now waiting on some US reviews and head-to-head comparisons.

Maybe he really likes modding, cause he'll probably end up spending a ton just to get that "feel" back. I read that on average, the BRZ is selling for around $29,000. On the low side, a single turbo setup is probably going to run close to $5k plus additional upgrades to the powertrain and still can't come close. The money and performance factors don't make sense to switch.

the FR-S is just an up to date AE86 so therefore all the drift king fan-boys are going to want it.

We arn't trying to compare our cars to any mustang. Since the BRZ/FR-S owners are trying to compare their 200hp eco car to our 332hp sports car, what i'm trying to say is if they want to compare their cars to any Z car, they should take it down a couple of decades to make it fair for themselevs lol. Thats like us trying to compare our cars with the new 5.0. You have a torquey, bigger displacement V8 that is pretty fast in the quarter, and you have a high revving, less torquey motor, but lighter car that does extremely well in autocross or other track courses. They are not very far off in my opinion, but they are still two very different beasts.

Agreed, the Z = Personality Personified Realized and Delivered right on time...

Can't we all just get along..?
As long as we enjoy our cars that is all that matters!
I love my Z34 and I will build her and enjoy her!
Even now I still have the same smile like I had when I first got her.

A car with 200hp low 6sec 0-60 is nothing to be excited about. I used to own an RX8 sure it has one of the great handling car on the track but most of that quick surge of need for speed is mostly on a straight line and usually where, regular streets on the highways. When this happen even with just a honda accord v6 will be smiling on his rear view mirror as he slowly drifts away.

A sports car must have a good engine to backup it's good looks. That's where the 370z comes in....

im serious. and i dont want the first gen and especially not a ford brand. at least mazda's sort of related to ford?

the MS3's been out like 3yrs now and i am sure most of the bugs have been worked out. i need something before snow fall. i dont want to drive my G again in winter while she did very well with the LM60's, i dont trust the other boneheads. i feel like a sitting duck every frikken day during the commute.

i *think* i saw a BRZ this am. not sure. i saw some rice cut across the corner of my eye and it was a small blue thing.
