My last car was a 450whp STi. Had it set up for the track with great coilovers and tons of handling mods. It was violently quick, had traction for days, and was almost certainly faster in every possible metric than my 86.
But the 86 is still more fun to rip around town in. It's all about the feel for me. |

I had a 370z and it was awesome, back in 2009. In the year 2023? I would not give my car up for it.

Ask the same question in the 370Z forum and see if you get the same answers.

It's gonna be a fun car that I'm not taking to work but still plan on driving almost everyday. Occasional autocross and taken to twisty backroads. Think you convinced me though, also watching POV drives of a Z and 86, the 86 looks like its going faster than the Z when theyre going the same speed lol that's all I needed to see And also can't find any 370zs/86s that are auto that can be test driven nearby. But first one I see pop up I will. Maybe if my dad comes with they'd be more willing to let me do it. And yeah I'm not too concerned about power, if the car feels fun and fast, I don't care if it does 0-60 in 6 seconds my ford edge sport does it in 7 (thats what google says, its probably closer to 8, even less considering i never launch it) and god i have a blast in it, I can only imagine what a 5.4 sec 0-60 would feel like (gr86) |

yeah that does sound nice about the 86. seems like it'd be fun to toss around the city (safely, I'm not talking about sliding every turn double the speed limit). my ford edge sport handles alright, less SUV-like than my parents' cars but nothing like my friend's bmw. felt like my friend's charger, like i was in a sailboat on a windy day. i'd love to get to test drive an 86 because i've never got to drive a sports car like that and ngl it'd be a nice breath of fresh air to get a car that drives like a little go kart instead of a car that feels heavy but has more power than my current car. |

Will do man thanks for the input. Was thinking z for the acceleration on straight roads but I'm not trying to get myself arrested because I'd have way too much fun with the power lol |

Did on the 370z subreddit. About the same answers, the 86 is more of a lightweight good handling drivers car while the z is mainly about power. Told to test drive one, and the Z would probably be a better pick for me (due to the RTV/engine oil pressure issues with the 86 lately and because i want a car to mess around in) but i had my doubts. figured the best bet to even it out was to come here. Honestly pretty damn good responses from both communities despite the bias. This question came up because I saw a Z in person and realized how nice they are, haven't seen a 86 in a while |

don't let the fearmongering get to you.
the rtv is an on-again-off-again thing, been that way since the 90's. but largely a small issue, mostly related to a small batch of issues at the factory. my understanding is that the '23 stuff is mostly sold out, so by the time you get a '24, it'd be mostly ironed out. the oiling, it's during ultra-extreme turns while on the track--going 15/10th's-- if you're just chucking the car around town, you've got less than nothing to worry about. oh, just saw you're in iowa-- ftspeed.com/jbautosports is in de moines. they've got demo cars, not sure how willing they are to offer rides, might be able to at least get a ride along for at least a rough idea.

If you have to ask, please just get the 370Z.

There's a great comparison Chris Harris did back in the day between the 1st gen Twin, 370Z and a used Cayman -
