i was thinking more in terms of like miata's and such in the FRS segment.

Don't do it. I Just traded my 13' frs for a 13' 370z in January. The frs was fun and handled amazingly, but its nothing compared to the Z. Its just too slow, it has an annoying fuel pump chirp, the taillights fill with water, and the interior is sub-par. Looks nice though...

^perfect balance of power and handling imo was the FD3S RX7. Not overwhelming power/acceleration wise, but no slouch neither. Handling was superb. Best sports car made in the last 2 decades....I just wish Mazda would quit making freak projects like the Rx8 with its hideous styling, hefty weight, and lethargic power....oh yeah, and horrible gas mileage.

Bring the real RX7 back!

The RX7 had even worse mileage.
Problem is added safety, they have to make cars heavier. And the STUUUUUPID rotary killed that pos

thread is starting to go off topic if we're starting to compare with cars over a decade old and no longer in production lol

...starting to go off?????

Unless you plan on modding the hell out of it, or your 370Z is a burden then no way!

True. That's why you do a LS V8 swap. At least they can get 20 mpg if you don't hammer it all the time

....and they're reliable, a lot more than a rotary.

Lol don't get me wrong. The Z is a great sport car, and I am not bashing it (I had one and sold it but may get another one in a year or 2). What I meant is with the Z, you'll be running out of road much faster than a BRZ/FRS (or any other lower HP sport car) unless you are on a track. It's more fun for some people who like to work the engine to get the most out of it. If the OP is one of those, he might find the FRS more fun.

It's the same reason there is a huge Miata crowd. The car is girly. Yes. But there is also a huge fan base.
