Fr-s/ Brz. > 370z?

RyanWest · 07-02-2012, 12:49 PM

Look at the compression ratio on the FR-S, it wont handle boost well.

While the FRS isn't exactly fast or grunt-y compared to the Z, it does wake up quite a bit after 5000 rpm.

Yeah, I don't think the car is worth the money, either, but it's not bad.

25k is a budget considering a 30k 370Z can only carry 2 people and not very practical in any way. with 25K you can do your racing and shopping...sort of.

i hear you pauly for a couple more grand you get get a 370z. Have you seen the interior on the frs lol its so dirt cheap like way cheap, its way over priced and slow as hell .

heres the facts over priced,cheaply made, quality is ****, slow as hell and last its over talked about how good of a car it is i think toyota has the car reviewers paid for.

Pauly · 07-02-2012, 01:40 PM

lol my maxima would make that scion thing look like a honda fit LOL
family cars rule

Pauly · 07-02-2012, 01:44 PM

i dont see how the back seat existance can be used as a practicality excuse for a price hike either. most of my family / friends would rather be punched in the groin than forced to be confined in that entrapment, even for a short trip

I once saw an FR-S rescue a bus full of nuns and children from demonic undead nazis.

True story.

Better add the Porsche 911 to your list of non-sports cars.
