sunkist350z · 01-07-2017, 03:14 AM

Zbrah · 01-07-2017, 03:44 AM

Lol thanks Raf...stirs things up a bit around to keep it interesting

I think an S2000 would be a better option to consider against a 370Z than the frs twins.

It's a 2 seaters like the Z, a lot of fun to drive, tons of aftermarket parts available, and you can get an S2000 now a days for much less than a used frs.

I say the Z. Encourage basic mods cuz you have to mod the hell out an FRS to make it as fast as a Z.

Milage doesn't scare me on a vehicle;if it's been properly maintained.....& working at the Nissan dealership-he could probably ensure that a full service is performed on the ~Z~
Also,being a 7/AT,,,it will already have rapid acceleration & being a sport;probably also has an LSD...
An easy performance mod (not the cheapest) would be a gear swap,potential locker swap & bushing replacement.....if it has the 3.357 gear like mine-it can pull to 175mph in 5th (1:1) so gear him down & increase his Grin....4.08's would keep him under 150(140-145)/as long as he stay's out of the OD gears.

The money he has and makes would go further with another vehicle when it comes to mods

You can go Boosted & give him all of your bolt on's....problem solved.

in his case, probably do a brz probably. it might be slow but he can get a newer one with lower milage and plenty of parts to mod.

have to make compromises somewhere and slow may keep him alive.

kenchan · 01-07-2017, 11:26 AM

honestly though, id look at other cars besides just RWD coupes u listed. there are faster cars out dere and all it does is frustrate the driver when say a S3 or even a GTI blows past their faster-looking rides.

Its looking like the Z at this point.. And I don't believe he's much of a Honda fan lol. He basically told me its between these 2 cars.

Well his work is already hooking him up on the price, plus they flushed every fluid on the car for him and inspected the vehicle even threw in 2 new rear tires. Gears are a good Idea thanks.

Yes I have mentioned other vehicles to him and he just isn't interested. He also stressed to me that it has to be rear wheel drive.

Due to mileage on the Z and cost of modding, first car BRZ. Wish i could have had a BRZ at that age, i was pushin a CRX!

A CRX was not bad. I was pushing a Mazda 323

I wished I had a BRZ at that age as well

kenchan · 01-08-2017, 01:25 PM

wat kind of mpg does BRZ get in real world? might be a fun car to dd and just to cruise around in if it sips gas. I hate making the stops at da pump. maybe for a young person dey don't care but in my busy life stopping to get gas is such hassle!!
