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

They are overpriced for their power. In it's current state, it's a few grand too much. If it had more power, then it would probably not be overpriced. I think it should either be about 22k as-is or have about 250 hp at it's current price.

With that being said, it's a good car for what it is trying to be, but it doesn't really compete directly with the 370z. The Z is more actual speed oriented and costs quite a bit more. The FRS/BRZ is more fun-oriented. I have no problem with them as long as they don't try to race me try to tell me their car is better/faster than mine. I don't have a problem with most cars as long as they don't drive like pricks. People like what they like but even your car is a real monster, you don't get to drive like a a$$hole.

More than likely they will tell you it's better than your car. That's one of the problems I have with them. Most owners think they're gods chariots, and they're the best car ever made, because racecar. Bla bla ect.... They'll probably try to make a point that is has a boxer in it as well which in my opinion the fa is a crap motor.

I, personally, don't have any hate towards the BRZ/FRS. It's a lightweight, rwd car with good balance/handling. If they factory turbo'd it with minimal weight increase, I'd consider one as an alternative to a Miata.

Real car enthusiasts don't 'hate'. The haters, typically, are also posers who don't know how to drive the car they bought; but rather bought it as a status symbol.

I hate cars as follows; eclipse, every VW basicly, smart car that's about it I suppose so I guess if I'm a poser because of that.

If there was a nicely done VW (there are lots around my area), or any of the above, you would still hate it because it's a VW?

I've pretty much never seen a VW that appeals to me. The 1gb tsi/gsx eclipses talons are ok.and I doubt I'll ever see a smart car I like lol.

You want disrespect ? I don't even know what a BRZ/FRS is. Kind of like when people talk about the EVO or whatever that ugly 4 door thing with the big stupid Pep Boys wing on the trunk lid is. Those cars are so far below my radar so as to not register as serious sports cars.

I wasn't saying everybody, I said their was a few of us. I don't see no harm in it honestly. Are their better cars then the Z? Sure.. is their a car I want over the 370z? Nope.

My comment wasn't directed towards you, just the forum in general. And I was messing around anyways
