Can you explain a bit more how it 'feels' better than the 370z.

I currently drive a modified RSX-S and was debating between the FRS/BRZ and the Z. The Z has twice the torque and over 100 more hp (but obviously a bit more weight). I'm just not sure I could stand another low tq car and spend thousands modifying it to keep up with family sedans. I know everyone is going to flame that saying that anyone can go fast in a straight line, etc.; however, I'm not interested in a Mustang for that reason. I felt the Z would still have good handling while still blowing away more cars going straight.

I plan to have full coilovers, ss brake lines, rotors, pads, etc. on either as I will track it so stock suspension isn't much of an issue for me either.

Sorry to rant on, just wanted your honest assessment as you have own(ed) both.

Thanks!
