I think it's a great car, just slow and a bit over priced. But form everything I've read, it's supposed to handle great and is lots of fun. Boost and bigger wheels would make it a great little car. It's no Z, though, and with the recent Z price drop, it's not much cheaper.

Im tracking at Sebring Sunday, have a pair of Advans and hawk pads. I think i paid around $400 for all of it. no one said its cheap but its not like its a Ferrari with ceramic $10000 brakes and Pilot Sports.

Look, can we all just agree to hate the "Twins" so I can move on?

kenchan · 11-01-2013, 10:55 AM

i agree that the tomica cars can be cool if $25K otd with some options on it.

it's just over priced for wat you get.
and i hate toyota's to begin with...and subaru isn't my favorite either.

dang, i forgot about the guidelines, sorry!

yah, maybe go in during a blizzard in the middle of winter and ask them if they can lower price on inventory? perhaps one might be able to do $25k otd on a frs?

bring your blizzaks, have dealer swap out tires and drive it home.
wash it off, get swifts, some light weds with PSS, alignment. $29k?

2sets of wheels (winter/summer), lowered, wheels. maybe toss in 10mm spacers for the stockers.

kenchan · 11-01-2013, 03:42 PM

where as my base sport package was like 35otd. wheels and stuff well over 40k

kenchan · 11-01-2013, 04:14 PM

uuuuuuhh... my post wasn't suppose to be like *nod nod nod nod* everyone agrees on price delta frs vs 370z.. frs not a bad deal.

I kinda lost sight on where is this thread heading to now....

Well i ran at Sebring yesterday (Chin racing), damn Twins everywhere. Im rethinking my position on the vehicle. Dont get me wrong, i still hate it (lol), but with the right tires, this is a very formidable platform. Yes, its underpowered, terribly, inexcusably under powered, but with the right shoes, its really toss able, tracking is very easy and its very forgiving.
