I must admit it was a freaking blast to drive. I had been test driving used 2008 Porsche Cayman S (all under 15k miles and around $40k) and they were amazing. None of the other vehicles I drove could hold a candle to it; UNTIL I drove the 370z!!
In my opinion a 370z is very much like a cheaper Porsche Cayman S. Its a little quicker but a little noiser and less refined.
The FR-S is fun to drive but, in comparison to the Porsche and Nissan, is slow.
Now I have a very tough choice to make.
Do I pay $25k for a new FR-S, then another $1200 for exhaust and intake, and another $1700 on better tires and wheels, to make the car a tad quicker bringing the total to: $28k.
OR
Do I pay $34k (quoted from dealer I test drove at, they said if I was serious I could possibly get lower) for a brand new 370z and just drive it stock as its already fast as heck. It will have the sports package with upgraded tires/wheels/brakes already on it.
Tough decision.

Go with the one you enjoy driving the most. I looked at all those cars (370z, used CS, FR-S) and chose the FR-S. In the end, I love its driving position and visibility, light weight, and the fact that you can use its power on the street without getting into trouble. Everyone's different though, so only you can decide what you like best for your money.
