With boosting, though, you're probably getting into the Z's price range which I guess kind of makes it okay to compare stock vs modded. I definitely think the Z is much nicer, though. Plus, in a few months or by next year, we're probably going to see them everywhere.
bruce- honestly one should not be even comparing the BRZ to the 370Z. it's literally a poorman's Z with rear seats. as you stated, it completely defeats the purpose if one adds turbo kits and stuff to get the powerband into Z territory. by that time with similarly invested mods ($ wise), the Z would be in muscle car territory.

i think the BRZ/FRS should be compared to non-aspirated subcompact wannabie cars.

Too bad some BRZ's are selling for as much as a base Z.

Non-aspirated

Um, base BRZ is still cheaper. It's around 26 or 27k. The Limited is 28-30. base, no-frills Z is 31-32k.

Base Mustang GT with Track Package, Recaro Seats, and Tech Package is selling at invoice right now for 31k
