LMAO. But seriously, I don't care. I will have my old Ferrari or Porsche in a few years as my "retirement ride" :tup:. Not even cross-shopping for a BRZ, FRS, or whatever. Mid-life crisis my @$$.

A few years back I got drunk, called my bank, and applied for an auto loan to buy a 355 Berlinetta. Surprisingly, I was approved for my $80K and immediately started calling dealerships :ugh2:. I woke up the next morning wondering why I had a ton of emails with Ferrari pictures, monthly payments, etc. Then I drove my Kia Credos to work.

I still love the 355 more than just about any modern Ferrari. It's just timeless.

Yeah, Ferraris aren't that out of reach. Ok, back on the FRS/BRZ debacle. No, overpriced, overhyped, and slower than an RX-8. Need I say more?

Lol. :icon17:

As for the BRZ/FRS.

Really has a tiny feel to it, only sat in one. That whole feeling of driving on the edge I imagine is cool, but you are driving at the edge with 200hp...yawn. It does seem over priced too for what you are getting.

I mostly see 20 somethings here driving it or some late 30's early 40 types.

I think what makes me laugh the most is I'll see a FRS going ape **** in traffic, zig zaggin etc...I'll get close and then whoops...all calm, maybe even getting behind me lol...so I feel like the boss...untill a 911 or M3 comes along :icon17:

The hate on this thread makes me :rofl2:

In a few years these things will be like cockroaches (think miata) at track events... I priced out a coilover setup for one... half the price of my mustangs suspension. Slap on a turbo... swap the brake fluid and pads... golden

i think its a great little platform... small light and rwd. Hell people are already swaping LSx motors into them. (where dont those things fit)

That's what she said?

Anyways, with the way the "trends" are going this car will not be the next Miata or S2000. It will end up the next 240sx/Silvia in the US, which will mean hellaflush and horrible body panels, unpainted, and little value. Yes there will be some who take the car in a proper direction but the kids & trends will ruin it for the rest.

True, but the Z has a higher entry cost when new and I would say more Z are still well maintained or cleanly modded. It has taken years (original 350 was 2006) to destroy the image of the Z. The 86 twins have been destroyed from day 2 (day 1 the kids were all sucking the e-peen news over the car).

That is something I could get behind the steering wheel of.
Plus unfortunately, "most" people I know who have bought a FRS/BRZ is your standard flatbill cap douche. :shakes head:

StangerGT 10-30-2013 06:30 PM

but i must be bias in some why right?

I mean... im only a Mustang owner on a 370z forum drooling over a Chevy powered Subi/Toyota thats like a Miata... :icon14:
