If you want a driver's car, there are much better options than a 370Z.

The thing than many folks seem not to grasp is that test track #'s don't even begin to scratch the surface when it comes to...

Test track #'s don't really matter to me. I'm a lot more concerned with the fun to drive factor.

There's cars with 200hp and under that are a lot more fun & rewarding to drive than many 500+hp...

The other tread being locked had nothing to do with what I posted.

Overwhelming Evidence (reviews by others) to date suggest the BRZ / FR-S are NOT under-powered / over-priced hence it doesn't make much sense to assume otherwise.

First of all, nobodies dismissing anyone's "opinion". The point here is that there is really no bases to have a negative "opinion" on a car "s" that have received such overwhelming praise.

You're still upset someone is correctly pointing out how dumb it is to judge a car based solely on test track #'s / HP? Wow buddy you should get over it...

Amirite? Yes I'm correct.

I wasn't aware the 370Z ran 4.3 0-60 and 12.8@111 quarter as the Porsche Cayman S does. Last I checked the Z was closer to ~ 5.0 0-60 and 13.4-13.5@ 105-106 quarter. That's not exactly close...

No, I'm simply pointing out how ridiculous to assume the BRZ / FR-S are somehow not worth it due to their straight line acceleration.

Let's start with the BRZ / FR-S

Too many judge cars like this:

Car A: $ 35k / 300hp

Car B: $35k / 200hp

Conclusion: Car is "A" is superior because you get more horse power per dollar.

Of course this is a ridiculous...
