FRS / BRZ or 370z ?
 

Ok everyone need some help here, my little brother is in the market for his first sports car. He wants a 370z like his big brother has, this is where I have been thinking. My lil bro is 19 and has a steady job at a local Nissan dealer. He's looking at a Z at his dealer it's 2010 Sport with Tech 7 AT for 13k but it has 100,000 miles.

I think it's great that he wants a Z like his big bro, but I've been doing some thinking. For one the Z is expensive to mod unlike a lot of other cars. I know my brother and he wants to mod the crap out of it and wants boost but his pockets aren't deep and don't want him to be disappointed. So I though the BRZ or FRS might be a good match for him. A lot cheaper to mod and cheaper to fix if he brakes it. What's everyone's thoughts BRZ / FRS? 370z?

Go to this forum and ask about Z vs brz? It's hands down Z. Go to the dark side and ask the same it'll be the Subaru clone.

How about a 350z?

Lol yes I knew I would get that kid of response... but I'm trying to look at it from the outside 3rd party point of view...

Everyone we have found has been beat and abused.. they have all been pretty rough.

One other thing. I would also ask a cop and see what he (or she) says. :tup:

Right? Oh and if make ya feel better he's looking at a PW Z..

I think someone doesn't want the little bro one up him with a sexier car ;)

Those seats looked beat! What are those tears at the bottom of the seat?

No I'm all for him getting a 370z, I'm more concerned that

1) he will push him self in the car past his driving ability.

2) he wants mods and does not have the money to mod the z.

The money he has and makes would go further with another vehicle when it comes to mods

I was only kidding bro...I agree with your concerns. Aftermarket parts for our cars are not cheap but if your bro goes with an frs/brz all those mods will add up overtime and he still wouldn't be satisfied.

LOL. PW FTW. If he decides on this, no kidding I will detail it for free. He has to drive to CA though.

Those seats though. It is beat up and took its toll with some big a$$ crash landing on it daily. There were only 37 of that 2010 PW, Auto, Persimmon Interior, Sport combo made for that year. Not a whole lot of those out there. Mileage is not an issue with an 7AT. At $13k, it is not bad. Forget the mods because he will need to pay for upkeep, gas, insurance, tires, anything that brakes, etc. aside from driver responsibilities, he will need to keep up with his financials. This car ain't cheap. If it is just about the car and not about financials, I'd still say the Z. Attractive to a many, young and old. He will be so laid. More fun and have a nice heritage. That's just the Z guy in me though. At the end of the day, let him have it and let it out of his system. When he gets married and have kids, it'll be a while before he drives a car with just two seats again.

BTW, who the heck are the three who clicked BRZ? Shame on you.

Well put bro, and I had no clue about how many were made in 2010, and yah the drivers seat is jacked but the car is a high mileage car I wonder how much it would be to get the seat fixed. Also I have no idea who clicked on FRS BRZ :rofl2:

I made it 4 just to mess with wonka but at the end of the day this poll is useless to sway your brother's decision if he's already leaning toward a Z.

That's why I like you David. You make it fun.

This ^^ is why I love this forum!! Thanks guys!!
