See, man, you just don't get it. You don't need power to have a great car.

Who needs to be able to out run another car, really? I mean, come on.

This is actually true to a point. Sometimes it's fun to take a slow car and beat the living **** out of it and barely break the speed limit. It's the rental car paradox.

yeah! I love that you can have fun and do wild drifting power slides, all @ <20MPH!

Sure, that's mostly because that's the only speed it can manage to do those things at, but that's totally beside the point!

Life's all about the journey, it doesn't matter how quickly you get to where you going. Especially in a sports car!

$30,000 well spent, IMO.

NOTE: I am aware of the sarcasm around this convo...

Ironically as much as I am not a fan of Subi's or Toyota's... I freaking love the BRZ/FR-S.

It's a nice light car, has a lot of potential, and with a nice turbo could make some impressive numbers I think.

I compare it to a hard top Miata... and those things hold their own. I do think in 5-10 years they will be lill monsters at HDPE events.

I mean... comon!

And its not about how fast a car can get you around... its how fast you can get the car around...

Once you figure that out, you appreciate other cars a lot more.

But then again, this is coming from a guy who would like to drop Coilovers and a 5.0 into an old Mercury Zephyr station wagon... and *attempt* to troll around the track

So I think the FR-S/BRZ is a much better car than the Z, despite it's lack of horsepower, and if you don't agree, you just don't get it.

Discuss.

I wish a "real" Ferrari 458 italia owner would join the forum just to humiliate ,Z mustang and Fr-S lovers.

And not that 360 modena guy who traded a $110,000 ferrari for a 42,000 nismo and still coughed up $3,000 down to soften his debt ratio.

This ranks right up there with "why are all the owners of FRS/BRZ's douche bags."

Get an MC, twice the rush at half the price.

Or,put unstaggered 7 inch wide wheels on your Z covered in nankangs, get a 1.2 inch drop. Enjoy being an FRS for a day.

And no cheezy interior

Would certainly make the Z more dynamic. Nissan should consider this!
