Why does the 370z get so much disrespect...

Codename067 · 10-31-2014, 09:16 PM

I haven't anyone dissing or disrespecting the Zs. BRZ/FRS has better handling? Those cars are for wannabees. Almost everyone that buys it, buys it because its a "sport" car..."sport".

My brother has a FRS. The Z spanks the poop out of it in every aspect I could think of.

As I expected. Bombs away!

What a way to start your 1st post.

No comparison between the Z and BRz

No apples to apples so...cant comment on it.

There is a lot of FRS/BRZ owners comparing their cars to the 370z. Most of this is through forums and a popular belief among BRZ/FRS owners is that their cars "handle better" and the 370z is too heavy, ect.

As for your second point. The BRZ/FRS is a good car, from what i have found, i would compare it to a Miata. Its faults is that it has a very, very cheap interior, has mechanical issues, and has a very weak power plant. Add all this together and i think it is an over priced car, i would not pay $29,000 MSRP. The car is nice but not that nice.

It is some what of a gimmick/trend car like most scions but still i think it has some very admirable traits.

Why let teenagers bother you? When I see BRZs/FRS on the street with Hello-Kitty graphics, "Ryu shoryuken" Japanese words and stuff, with their big speed boat wings and wild body kits, I just chuckle. The import scene is passé. It's the rice crowd.

In 2009 I erroneously predicted that the 370 would fall into the "rice out when it's 4, 5 yrs. old because they'd be about 1/2 in price, and all the teenagers would buy them and put kanji graphics and wild wings." The bad economy has deterred that. I'm glad I was wrong....

The 370 crowd is the "we're moving up to Porsches, Vettes, Teslas, etc." We're not the boy-racer crowd.
