IIRC the BRZ's 2.0 does not have unequal length headers. This design takes away from the characteristic subaru boxer sound that you hear on WRX and STI's from the past decade. It will still be a balanced, smooth powerplant but the burble (if you are used to it) will be missed :)

I really like it! I wished I could have bought a 2012 S2000 instead of a 370Z, personally, as I have become more and more about "handling" and "quality" than raw power, as time goes on. Sadly as you know they killed it instead of evolving it.

As it sits, I would not trade my 370Z for a BRZ. No way, no how. However, this platform looks like with a little time and evolution, it could pry me from my Z. (More upscale interior with more soft-touch, upgraded NAV, track-oriented tires/rims, and a turbo would do it!).

I really like the lines and concept of the sub 3,000# hard-top corner carver w/upscale interior design!

It's definitely there. Perhaps it is more subdued than in the WRX. It's not loud and perhaps its is enhanced by the resonator that pipes some exhaust sound into the interior.

That was dirty, i thought it was gong to be longer....:roflpuke2:

lol

Looks great man !

I've seen about 3 or 4 Scion FR-S driving around Denver, but no Subaru BRZ yet . . . Can't wait to give a thumbs up to the first BRZ I see driving around { as a fellow Subaru driver ! ! ! }

I finally saw the first one on the road yesterday. Where's the picture for the 370z Roadster?

From one of my albums on my profile here:

heheh. Not very subtle, but you got me to click the link :)

Nice car and color. Thanks for posting. Please post more pics if you have time:
Engine, Interior, etc.

Mission accomplished. Let me know if you need anything.
:tiphat:

We got one of the "First 86" and didn't see another one for a few weeks. Now, I see them all time time driving around AZ.

That's what she said. :icon18:

Looks really nice OP! I am curious, does anyone know what the ballpark payment would be for a 2 year lease on one of these?

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Frankly I doubt any will be available for lease until the next model year. I ordered mine on March 3 and just got it last Saturday. There's tons of people looking for them and not enough to go around.

The FRS might be a different story -- same basic car but from Scion. They are making many more Scion versions of the car.

did you see shado, trolls can make funnies too! :bowrofl:

This will be my first mod:

Actually the context was it was an "86" only event, so he re-branded his Subaru :)

:bowrofl:

Congrats OP... Should make an awesome DD. :tup

Fixed it :)

I'm loving it so far.

Nice.. iono what is up but i see ppl crashing these cars lately... well just 2 lol socal 626 area

Love it. The fact that I could not get a BRZ is what made me buy the Z.

age factor, same with 350

I see a red BRZ in the lot of the whole foods near my work. Get lunch there couple times a week.

The back and side views look sex.


Tapatalk & such etc

I actually hydroplaned my 370Z on the freeway a few months back. Luckily all ended well, although scary as hell. (VDC on, did absolutely jack **** to help the situation. Probably is part of what screwed things up by hitting the rear brakes in a manner that upset the car when I was SLOOOWLY applying brake and engine-braking it, and resulted in a snap 360* spin-out.)

The fact of the matter is that the tires Nissan puts on the car are pure crap for channeling water. My other sports cars have done better on a wet road with 2/32 tread left than my 9/32 tread tires on the 370 did. It will hydroplane as low as 50-55mph on water about 1/4" deep just trickling across the road.

So far, that is the only bad habit my 370Z has. Treat it like you are on ET Streets, basically. That, I was totally not expecting and it bit me in the arse. Other than that, no problems with it being hard to control.

Dry weather? It's a front-heavy (slightly) sports car.
Wet weather? Treat it like a 70's Hemi 'Cuda on Mickey's.

I knew they were crap during my test drive, I swapped them out at 800 miles and don't really have that problem. I was doing about 115 in the avatar picture

BRZ comes with 215s Michelins, probably not too bad in the rain. Regardless, the accidents will probably go something like this

That was about how much water was on the road when I spun my 370Z like a champ. They hook good in the rain, and they hook good in the dry, but they channel water for crap. Change them out as the first mod is my recommendation, after experiencing their crappiness first-hand.

Yeah the tires are crap in the rain new, I don't even know how guys are riding till 15K with them
