I vote the Nismo Z

I think the FRS/BRZ has newer safety equipment because the technology is more modern...the Z is pretty old now right? (Chassis, safety equipment, efficiency, etc). Oh, and the twins can fit 4.

Hahaha, if by four you mean two human beings and two bowling pins.

Per the old camaro advert, do you have just one friend or three? People who say the rear seats are not worth it are talking rubbish, they're not massive and it wouldn't be comfortable to spend hours in the back, but if you have a wife and a baby, the three of you CANNOT go anywhere in the Z, they can in the BRZ...

370s aren't impressive. So.... there is that.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Well since you asked... You shouldn't get it because the 370z is an overpriced turd and there are couple options out there that will give much you more car for the same monies. OR stick with the game plan and get that BRZ.

totopo · 06-26-2016, 11:28 PM

The nismo isn't really any faster than the sport on a track. You are paying a premium for the looks and the nismo badge. A 370z sport will save you a good chunk of change.

TheGreySquirrel · 06-26-2016, 11:36 PM

From another perspective, if you decide to sell the 370 in a year or two the depreciation in price will be much less than buying a new twin since new cars depreciate more used cars.

@Braeden

If the 370Z is the car you are going for then I wouldn't try and get you back. The cars are quite different in driving feel so you'd have to try a BRZ to understand I guess.

Given that you live in Franklin, I'd say the 370Z is much better suited to the area since you'd probably do a lot of highway driving.

DarkSunrise · 06-27-2016, 01:06 AM

Drive both, buy the one you like better? That's what I did anyway. If you really can't decide, there are plenty of comparisons out there.

Dark · 06-27-2016, 01:36 AM

I've always loved the Z. Hate 370z noise though, but owning 2015 WRX, nothing can produce more annoying noise.

FTEIGHTSIX · 06-27-2016, 01:42 AM

If you want to go straight line fast, get the 370. The BRZ is a lot slower in a straight.

If you love throwing cars around in turns, get the Brz.

The 370 is heavy as shit in comparison and feels a little more dull, not really giving you the same kind of feedback.

So it really all depends what kind of fun you're trying to have.
