Nissan execs diss FRS/BRZ

kenchan · 10-30-2013, 11:37 AM

i like how they label that ferrari "Car"

The hate on this thread makes me

In a few years these things will be like cockroaches (think miata) at track events... I priced out a coilover setup for one... half the price of my mustangs suspension. Slap on a turbo... swap the brake fluid and pads... golden

i think its a great little platform... small light and rwd. Hell people are already swaping LSx motors into them. (where dont those things fit)

That's what she said?

Anyways, with the way the "trends" are going this car will not be the next Miata or S2000. It will end up the next 240sx/Silvia in the US, which will mean hellaflush and horrible body panels, unpainted, and little value. Yes there will be some who take the car in a proper direction but the kids & trends will ruin it for the rest.

That is something I could get behind the steering wheel of.
Plus unfortunately, "most" people I know who have bought a FRS/BRZ is your standard flatbill cap douche.

StangerGT · 10-30-2013, 06:30 PM

Eh, you are a true car enthusiast, something most people are not.
It would be nice to see the twins (or one of the 2) last and become a true icon car. Especially if a used one with decent miles and good condition can be found for 15k or less, super cheap entry and plenty of aftermarket support already (both good & bad).

True, but the Z has a higher entry cost when new and I would say more Z are still well maintained or cleanly modded. It has taken years (original 350 was 2006) to destroy the image of the Z. The 86 twins have been destroyed from day 2 (day 1 the kids were all sucking the e-peen news over the car).

U mean 2003 for 350.
But people can do what they want with their cars , u shouldn't hate the car per say . I've never had a real drive in the twins but can respect them and the companies for bringing back a some what affordable rear wheel drive coupe. I give kudos to genesis coupe for maybe getting the Asian companies to get back into that market.
Hopefully Nissan will get it right.

Yes, 2003, my brain was flat dead yesterday and I was just going backwards and 06 sounded decent.

All this...

moot. I could make a 10 second Suburban with the right money. They want $29K OTD for this POS. I saw one driving to work this morning...its so funny looking, putzing along on those bicycle tires. pathetic automobile.

First... if you pay MSRP for a car... your an idiot...

Second... 29k? might want to do some homework. (i swear the price keeps going up and up as this thread continues)

Third... you could make a 10 sec suburban with the "right" money... congrats? Will it be reliable for whatever this amount is? Will you have the right support mods or do you just wanna dump some giggle gas into it and blow your engine/tranny/diff?

I priced out a coilover suspension for a brz... 800 bux and its still a rather new platform. Anyone wanna know the price difference between a set of track tires for the BRZ vs your 370z? How bout pads?

Its a good platform... a sharp one at that.

EDIT: tires are also proportional to weight and power... so think about that.

Agreed, it gets a lot of hate. I don't really understand. It's proof the auto industry is moving back in the "fun to drive" direction. Now other manufacturers will bring their light rwd vehicles to market. It's a win for enthusiasts.
