So guys, call me crazy... but is it bad that I want a BRZ limited now? Considering selling this one and getting a white BRZ.

What an embarrassing typo... obviously my mind has not shifted to the horizontal nature of this vehicle.

ude, love love love your 240! So beast, omg. Gratz on the FR-S. a little underpowered for sure, but very fun to drive. Enjoy!

Thanks! The car has a new owner now and he put a built 2JZ in it. Something stupid like 600hp now.

Congrats on the purchase!! Your gonna love the FRS!! I had a 370z before and the weight reduction is definitely welcomed. I feel more "free" in the car now
The power was also the 2nd problem for me, but after putting some bolt ons and a tune, it has really liven up the car and its more than a capable daily driver on the road. If your gonna put a full blown turbo kit, it will devastate even the 370z in a straight line whilst outhandling its arrse to the plate

Indeed! I used to have a 370z as well, it too just felt under powered for its weight and although it did handle pretty well, I ended up getting a G37 IPL because the performance drop was minimal, but the comfort was very very much improved for the 75+ miles I drive everyday. I HATED the seats in the 370z. Im not a huge guy but the shoulder bolsters in the 370z were designed for somebody who fits a boy's medium sized shirt.

That's why there's so many upholstery shops around. This can be fixed.
If anyone is unhappy with the 86 seats, there's another mod for you.

The only things you'll be gaining are a few luxury amenities. Heated seats, standard nav, automatic dual zone AC, factory HIDs and LEDs and leather and alcantara seats. It's up to you to decide if going through the hassle is worth it.

I also just found out that insurance for this car is MORE than my G37 IPL coupe. Not too happy about that. I do kind of like the added goodies of the Limited Version, maybe I am just being too picky. I posted the car up for sale last night and already have somebody who wants to buy it! We'll see how things go. If I get the BRZ I'll plan on keeping that car much longer than I planned to keep the FRS.

Sad, but true...these cars wreck too often, considered high risk !!

Correction: people who drive like fools wreck too often, thus making sensible drivers pay more for our cars... A car cant crash itself without a driver!

Congrats fellow whiteout'r !!

Funny thing, I had a G37 want to run against me from a red light the other night, so we did. He didn't pass me until I hit 68mph! When I say pass, I mean crawl.

I'm not sure what the deal was as I figured he would stomp me....but no.

Anyway, after seeing your headlights I think I need to change mine out! Did you buy your HID kit online? Link?

Definitely something wrong with his engine if your car is stock. Even if our cars had I/H/E/Tune on grippy tires, the G37 would still beat us.

Maybe it's your exhaust. Plus, aren't G37s like mid 15 second cars?

On a serious note, they trap 13mph higher in the 1/4 then the FR-S, even if he missed a gear, or two, he would still fly past you, especially after 70. Maybe he wasn't racing? Or maybe it was a G25 if it was a sedan. They are basically indistinguishable from a G37 except for slightly smaller brakes and the badge on the rear. That would make more sense.
