Fr-s/ Brz. > 370z?
 

Few ppl have traded in their 370z for Brzs and fr-s are they even comparable to our Zs?

i think the FR-S was designed to battle a different class of car, not take on the Z ...... i believe it was built to do battle with Suburu's BRZ , from what ive read .. THATS the battle in which the car was built for...Suburu, plus its in a different class than the Z .... i view the FR-S and BRZ as sports cars but sports car on a "lesser" scale, doing battle on the lower levels.

^They're the same car so no it wasn't built to battle with each other lol. I agree though, the FRS/BRZ is on a completely different class... doubt it could take on the Z

not exactly "battle" with it lol but the BRZ (from what ive read) was Suburu's response to the FR-S. i just wish i knew where i read it from lol....short term memory sucks A$$

or vice versus idk. which

The BRZ/FRS were developed by Toyota and Subaru in a joint venture. They are pretty much the same car, the only difference is in the handling (oversteer vs understeer)

To answer the original question, I don't see these cars in the same category as the Z. The FRS/BRZ have 200hp and were built to be great handling cars, I see them being more in the Miata and s2000 realm.

I definitely won't trade my z for joint venture car, there are minor differences between Subaru to the Toyota but not worth trade at all, still a boxster turbo in a rear wheel drive, would be fun for a test drive

the 370z is the much better performance car; the BRZ/FRS are great economical and affordable RWD fun cars IMHO.

de ja vu thread.

This won't end well.

Lol. Same chassis, same drivetrain. Only minor interior, exterior and suspension differences. But they are pretty much the same thing. I agree it was designed more for a fun, easy to drive RWD performance car like the Miata or S2k.

Those are poor people that failed in life. Keep the Z. :tup:

No, just read the other threads...

Incorrect, it is the same car co-developed by both companies. Whatever you have read is wrong.

On a very tight course, the BRZ is probably right there with the Z. Throw in some straights of any length and the Z will pull out ahead. Very similar to comparing to the Z and the 5.0.

this is what makes you awesome

you know you all feel the same way. if one keeps the Z and gets the BRZ/FRS, then that's :tup:

Stock for stock, the FR-S can't match with the Z. However, I don't see a lot of FR-S buyers staying stock for long. I guess the real question is what would you prefer an F.I. FR-S or a Z. I think the FR-S, minus the power department, is a way better platform to start with. They don't have to worry about cracking VVEL :(.
