370z vs BRZ.......
 

So come 3 months from now, I had my heart on picking up a 2009/2010 370z. These used Z's are going for mid 20s on a good day. I've been keeping up with the BRZ which is also coming out this Spring with a similar 25Kish price tag. Lots of hype on the BRZ but I still think the Z is a much nicer looking ride...THoughts?

as it sits now, the BRZ doesn't look like it will be anywhere near on the level of the 370z.

^ that. Not on the same level. Aimed at the Miata.

And 40 years of heritage backing the Z will get my vote all day.
And you're on a Z forum, you're going to get biased answers ;)

the interior of the z looks better.

I read the article on a few different car mags about the BRZ, rwd and no turbo, so no Subaru symmetrical all wheel drive or turbos, and only 200 HP, not very light, and the odd motor mount/aligment leaves no room for aftermarket turbos... Z all day.

:iagree:

At first it looked like it could have the potential to be pretty sweet car, but as it became more and more a reality it became more and more of a let down. The one thing it's got going for it is that it's rwd, which at least gives it the potential to be a fun car will a little aftermarket support.

I did find this article the other day which at least leaves the possibility for a turbocharged version in the future.

Subaru Confirms Turbocharged Version of BRZ Engine - WOT on Motor Trend

with a few body parts and suspension and boost upgrades you have something.

Definitely get the BRZ and make YouTube vids drag racing a leaf and loose.

Only thing the BRZ has on the Z is better looking exhaust tips...annnnd that's about it.

:icon17::rolleyes:

The BRZ looks ugly when you put the two cars side by side.

I'm sure it'll have more of a light-weight sports car feel, but won't you miss the extra 100-150 extra horsepower you'd get from the Z??

I've seen better....:stirthepot:

That does look pretty sweet, but it'll definitely need FI to keep it from being all show and no go. 200 hp and 150 ft-lb is not going to get this car going in any type of a hurry
