Hey thanks!

There is still time to change my mind, but i really love the idea of the RS. Just not sure i can get rid of my Z and not have a RWD car. Which is why i was considering a BRZ.

Maybe ill just keep her we will see!

Wouldn't be a bad idea, she is a Z, something about modding mine and being done made me appreciate her even more, mainly because she has the improvements i wanted based on an amazing platform stock!:tup:

That's how I feel.

The car I got now (aside from the breaks which I want to upgrade, and wheels). Is exactly how it should have come out of the factory.

Thanks M4!

I see you got yourself a nice DD focus! Driving the 5.0 much these days? Sure is a beast of an engine!

Back on topic - I really think the BRZ gives the Z's looks some competition. I cant think of a new car less expensive than the BRZ that looks better.

Maybe im getting to used to my Z, i know others seems to think im crazy for it.

Think about it.. with such little time for development, this little car has already bested our FI Zs on our own top track times list. And that is nothing short of amazing IMO.

Funny thing is I hear alot of people saying ill get BRZ or other cars because its cheaper so they can put parts on the car people say the same with the 370z but mostly people leave their cars stock so its pointless yes this car in this video is fast but 90% of the people wont FI their cars how many people on this forum have FI their 370z 1 out of 10 lets do a poll.


people go to a car dealership and do everything they can just to get a loan and have no money left over to do performance parts that is why 90% dont FI their cars its alot of money to do all this and most people pay cash for these upgrades it would be stupid for someone to rack up a credit card to get these parts.

Nitex, Your future Audi looks nice and your assesment of the BRZ looks is not far off. Sorry for the quality of this pic, but I park next to this FRS (I know it's not a BRZ) in my building quite often & I do notice people checking both cars out.

I like the Z's swept back look better. The roofline to rear window =)

but honestly i said it many times before, if i was going for a sub 30k car, i would get the BRZ no doubt.

I wouldn't even consider anything else.

I went to look at the BRZ before buying the Z, sticker price was 38K

of course with mark up, but its a SUB 30 car.

You don't count mark up. You count msrp.

Just cause you bought your 370z for 50k and got ripped by the dealer doesn't mean its a 50k car lol.

Wait until hype dies and more supply and it will be below 30k

Put asides the numbers, the car is great.

Show me one bad article or review on the car. I bet you can't find one.

Cause its good for what it is.

I still wouldn't buy any other car in its price range.

No, go look at one, everything that is sporty about them is the DEALER INSTALLED OPTIONS(RIMS/NAVIGATION/SPOILER/etc....)

Because I got a SPORT model and didn't pay BASE model price doesn't equal ripped off:stirthepot:

My review of it was pretty bad, somewhere in another BRZ/FRS thread. Like I've said, for what it is, it's a rip off and could be an 18K car IMO. Drove like an INTEGRA GSR from 18 years ago with some styling upgrades:stirthepot:

The genesis coupe V6 is a smarter buy IMO for anything N of 30K not being a Z
