You're right and you don't even really have to compare it to the current V6 and V8 offerings of the Mustang which are updates. The Z has yet to be updated and it has been out since 08' and when compared to the V6 and V8 Mustangs of that time it soundly beats them.

I just love it when people get all defensive and butt hurt when the Z doesn't come out on top. There will always be someone faster so why stress? :tiphat:

:iagree: This is probably the most important point in this thread. Z is faster than leaf and the Aventador is faster than the Z.

8cyl>6cyl>4cyl etc. makes sense.

It didn't take long for this thread to go from BRZ vs 370Z to 5.0 Vs 370Z :bowrofl:

NISSAN IS BETTER ARRRGHGJNLOMPJMOHINI!!!!!!

^ Thats how I always think about it. If a car has 2 more cylinders it better be faster. On topic I think the 86GT and the BR-Z will be fun cars. As long as they come in under 25k its a sweet offering.

Depends where you run.


The z walks away in a straight line from the current v6.

I think in a year or two I'm going to sell my CRZ and get a BRZ for a daily driver.

I removed the awd to save weight.

NewlyIMPORTed 01-18-2012 10:16 AM

The BRZ with the current 2.5L STI engine would be fun...

SMJane_Again 01-18-2012 10:35 AM

I know this is 370z vs BRZ, but I think we have to throw in the FR-S to the mix as well, seeing as how it shares the platform. Toyota developers have said on countless occasions that this car is set up to evoke the rear-drive Carolla 86 from back in the day, which has been used for some time now as a successful drift platform. In which case, this car feels more like a Syliva/240SX competitor to me than a 370z-fighter. Price, power, weight, power-to-weight, the fact it has back seats (regardless of how useful they might be)... all these facets are significantly different. Obviously, Nissan doesn't have a new Sylvia on the horizon, but the only thing that's REALLY similar between the Z and FT-S/BRZ is the fact they're all rwd. Unless I'm missing something, that seems to be it.

cossie1600 01-18-2012 12:22 PM

The old Corolla had power to weight ratio like Miata, the only it has over the Miata is the two back seat. I think a lot of people confuse greatness with affordability.

Anyone notice the shortage of Z forums?????? Especially 370z forums. But we waste more time talking and hating on other cars rather than having fun and discussing about our own. Meanwhile all the other brands have pages and pages of forums yet we have to talk more about their cars here than ours.

Jeez.

m4a1mustang 01-18-2012 01:03 PM

There aren't enough 370Zs to support multiple forums. I suspect the multiple BRZ forums will consolidate after a while. Mustang forums have always been fragmented, so it's kind of confusing and a PITA at times.

Anyways, there's nothing wrong with discussing other cars as long as it's healthy discussion and it doesn't turn into fanboy/hater/trollfest.

UNKNOWN_370 01-18-2012 01:17 PM

There isn't anything wrong. But when it comes to other cars it becomes same sh1t.com and people just get rude over stupid fkin cars... would you agree with that??? And its tiring when its constant.

I don't own a NISMO or a manual... so I love reading on those and would love more dicussion to learrn about those on a performance level. I have an autto and I am unleashing new capability every month. I would like to share some info without manual fanboys riding my c*ck. And its not my fault other forums may be fragmented or whatever.... scion subie right now has more forums dedicated to the upcoming car than we have to the current car. Honestly, I could car less about other cars shitty suspensions and lack of independent susp and there of beyond a casual convo. When we have emotional convos about mustangs and subies.... it gets dumb. We are still a Z forum. Behave like a Z forum. Wd are Z brothers. There's are only 30k of us over the course of 4 model years thus far. And 1% of us are right here, the black sheep of the automotive world.
We are misfits. We are a 2 door 2 seat coupe, not roadster... we are v6. Not 4 or V8. We are jdm... not american or german or korean. We have a median set skill in performance no one else has, yet we bicker about who is better???????????????
It still boils down to as a whole package... the Z is the Z and we shouldn't even be concerned except by striving to be the best at track meets by modding and enhancing our driving skills.
We should be using gen disc for tips and not whining about who has the better engine and susp.

m4a1mustang 01-18-2012 01:20 PM

I'm somewhat confused by the rambling, but it comes down to this:

If you don't want to discuss other cars, don't. Don't get upset if others do, however. This is a 370Z forum, yes, but it has "General" discussion, Other Vehicles, and Off-Topic... If all you want is Z talk then stick to the tech sections.

It's the same on any other forum. Probably 50% of the discussion is related to whatever particular car the forum is dedicated to and the other 50% is "off-topic" discussion unrelated to vehicles (hello food, DSLR, firearms, computer, etc. threads) and lots of "other vehicle" discussion. It is what it is.

UNKNOWN_370 01-18-2012 01:37 PM

We have other car forums and I rarely go there... gen disc is still for Z convos. And truth is this has derailed greatly. And its getting angrily emotional for nothing. You have guys on here knocking the subie with no real ground. It hasn't been officially tested.
This thread has derailed and I have the right to say what I'm saying as well. I don't see why the subie car is getting people so riled up. N I'm not ranting I'm stating... this is not even a Z related discussion anymore. Its indirect subie bashing and indirect mustang bashing. Which I don't even know how mustangs got involved

The discussion might have gone off topic a bit but it's fine, lots of threads here had gone off topic in the past. LOL

Someone just curious about compare the two, yes, they are apple and orange, but no cars are exactly the same, even if the thread is '370z vs G37 Coupe' it is still compare apple to orange.

No harm to have a place for us to do a little 'BooSheet', LOL.

I don't even know how Mustang got involved too, but one thing I know, the moderator of Mustang Forum is wondering where its member has gone, tell him they are in this 370z.com forum!!!

Correct?? Mr.m4a1mustang.


LOL

I explained it once... back in 2009 I think. Most people just assume since I drive a Mustang my name is related to the car. I guess I can't blame them. :icon17:

So should we compare this mustang to the Z?:ugh2:

I wish there was brotherhood through all automotive enthusiasts. No i don't like chrysler. That doesn't mean I can't have chrysler friends. and have chrysler discussions that are objective and still share a common love for automobiles?!


Can't we all get along?

But yeah, I agree with you... I have friends that drive all types of cars. I don't care what they drive at all as long as they are not idiots. :icon17:

You are welcome to think gen disc. Is only for z discussions (and I agree) but the fact is the mods moved this thread here...got a problem, there is a section of the forum for that. http://img.tapatalk.com/a6937782-2d9b-0a39.jpg

See bottom...thread was moved from other cars....

Honestly dude, the only anger or emotion I see in this thread is from YOU with your little outburst. Just calling as I see it. Nobody's holding a gun to your head forcing you to read this thread. Don't like it? Don't view it. It's not like the title of the thread is misleading or anything. You knew it was a thread about the Z compared to another car before you ever clicked to open it.
