Plus, if the BRZ/FRS caused Nissan to start working on the IDX, doesn't that mean moving the Z down-market to compete with the twins is a lot less likely? Shouldn't we be rooting for the twins then?
Yea ur probably right again, vocal minority complaining again.

I've been on frs forums and apparently there are a lot of engine failures especially at the track attributed directly to the DI system.

My friends fr-s has this wierd cricket chirping noise from the DI system, really loud with the windows down at a stop light, sounds like a beat up 200k mile hooptie.

Actually Test drove a FR-S before test driving my Z and there is a world of difference. I wouldn't trade 370 for FR-S. IMO it reminded me of my other car I own (06 RSX-S) except just RWD meaning I didn't feel like it was a upgrade. The only things IMO I can give FR-S over Z is it has backseats (even if virtually unusable lol) and I do like how FR-S looks overall slightly more. But Again it's soooo underpowered. But that's just my 2 cents.
