I think the frs would still outperform the s2k under those circumstances. Better chassis is the key Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Build quality is better in the s2k but feature set is 1 million times better in the 86...

Oft+ofh on e85 or 91. I think it would be interesting how it matches up against a stock s2k. I think it would be close on 91(3) but I think the frs would take the advantage on e85.

In the UK at least the pricing of the BRZ makes total sense when you look at it analytically. It's about the price of the cheapest MX5 2.0i. It's a touch more expensive than the 156ps Pug RCZ & about 10% cheaper than the 200ps version. It's 20% cheaper than the base 370Z. The remaining competition around its price point are these FWD pseudo-coupe hatchback things which the BRZ is a real alternative to for those who want a pure sports car rather than a mildly disguised & boring hot-hatch (even though they will be much faster in a straight line & probably round a track). |

Maybe I'm missing something but spec for spec it looks like the US 370Z is about 20-30% more expensive than the US BRZ. It's just you can put a lot more on a 370Z.

You can put as much on any car that you want. If I could go back and do it all over again I'd have an atom3 and a c7 as a DD

I'm looking at factory options here. I take a BRZ & a 370Z & get two cars which have more-or-less identical option sets & they're about 20-30% different in price.

I had an Atom2 for a year, and it was a complete pain in the ass to get registered and insurance was a joke. I heard the Atom3 was worse? C7 is a no brainer. That seems like its the best bang for the buck as a track car you can daily.

In nh it wouldn't be terrible I'd imagine my current insurance for my s2000 is based on appraised value. Doesn't really matter tho I can't afford an atom at current prices with going through cars like I do

It was fine for first 6 months then the renewal was absurd. Sold it and got Lotus which was a different version of the same story. Ill take the S2k and FRS over them any day
