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!

I wouldn't even consider anything else.

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

I got my Sport for 38k last December which I felt was high but at the time I didn't mind (new). I didn't pay 50k for my G37 IPL. If you paid 50k for a Z in any form you paid too mcuh.

Wow, That's more than what I paid out the door for my 13Z with sport package! Better to buy a FRS, at least Scion's prices are fixed.

Sorry, I still think it's a POS, crap interior and build quality from what I've seen too... They made it to a budget... And it's easy to tell

Makes no sense unless you are talking about aftermarket parts. The BRZ/FRS top out at 27000 fully loaded whereas the 370z starts near or above 40.

People bash the car and I bet half of the people who have, haven't driven it. The car is a lot of car for the money. Sure, the interior is the nicest, and it's underpowered, BUT, the price reflects that. The handling of the car is remarkable! The car is easy to kick out, but only on demand, as it corners extremely well. Anyone who has driven a Miata, it feels the same with a lot more room. If they come out with a turbo model, there will be no competition in the rwd market.
