questions
 
so i heard a rattle on the driver's rear side and took it to dealership. forum made it sound like it would be an easy axle-greasing fix, but turned out to be a destroyed rear brake assembly. thank the gods for warranty, cuz i have never raced or drifted her(bought her new last year). so my friend lets me borrow her brz for the weekend...

um, this brz is a blast around corners going even 25(the speed limit in town). feels like a gokart! doesnt roll like my z, but it sure does slide more. also, the car has less power, but i like the low rev throttle response better than my car too.

i have swifts, maf tubes and berk hfcs. i am wondering guys, can i do anything to my car to make it ride and throttle respond like this brz, or is it impossible and i should look into selling my z and buying one of these things. i really do love my z, but this brz handles and responds so well. if it is a simple coilover, sway bar fix that would be cool, but the dealer warned me of warranty and ecu modding.

thanks guys

every car has its goods and bads. The Z kicks the brz *** in terms of speed and power. So, would you rather go to 60 in less than 5 seconds, or have a little better handling and go to 60 in 7 seconds?

Z. End of Story. :driving:

Throttle lag is noticeable in the z, not sure if there's any way around it. The brz is tossable because it is light. The z won't match that.

The z is faster, though. And I think it looks better and is less common.

Do what you like though. yolo and whatnot

so there is no way to get the cornering fun out of the z like the brz. will sways and better dampers with my swifts bring it close?

Put 225 18 a all around, Prius tires and it will slide

Add some sways to reduce roll aaaaaannnnnnddddd some Pruis tires if you wanna slide around ;)

Edit: Just saw Cossie1600's post lol. Right on point

didnt really feel comfortable with the sliding, but will get sways then

I do not like the Brz looks like a toy to me, I drove my friends and it did take turns real nice. But I rather stick to my Z more power less Z out there.

if i bought the brz, it would take at least $10k to get it to where i like it.

Imo a car with backseats and 4 cyl or any car with a a 4 cyl is not even in the same class. It's in the small roadster class like Miata, which may be a fun car if you put a SC on it. But to me the Z is about Image, It's history, it's
combination of style, handling and performance.. Oh and the exhaust note..

To each his own though..

Hmmm…….Go Kart or Sports Car. That’s a no brainer.

335HP to 200HP? C'mon...

An M3 owner and track guy, bought a BRZ and has brought it out to our track club events. I am so not impressed with it at Sears Point and Laguna Seca. The Z is so much more car, even with his tire upgrade.

If you want tossablillity, get a Lotus to compete with the Z.

get some good air filters and some sway bars
