FT / BRZ / FR is really fun to drive and it is not a bad choice at all even if before doing my Z i would had tested the 86 i would not have a Z atm.

I have lusted after this Z car ever since 09, but rarely saw them on dealer lots.
Anyway, I found a base sport 6m and have owned it since September.
Very pleased with the Z, it looks great and drives better than any car I owned.
great power and handling.

I have used this site since the purchase, it is very well done.
Thank you for the information.

So it's been not much more than a day and 20 replies.. I got a chuckle. There sure are a lot of happy Z owners on this site. Anyway had half the day off, sun was out, I found some nice country roads near Wisconsin.
Looks like spring is here. It was a great day to drive. Ty for mentioning the Chicago club.

There are definitely "Z" lovers, but more importantly there are br-z/fr-s haters...

We are drawn to "I picked a Z over an FR-S" thread like moths to light
