FR-S vs. 370z, end all be all of discussions - Page 53 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I could careless about what someone thinks about the car that I am driving. They're not driving my car and I'm not driving theirs. I used to have a celica gt-s and loved everything about it except that it was fwd. That's why I want to go with this car because they seem so similar but it's rwd. It is what I am looking for.

Started browsing some of the other threads there and came across this gem. Now I know how to make any Z owner cry

Comparing cars will always be a pointless argument. Different people have different tastes. Get over it.

Call me insane but doesn't the 86 fit that better than the 370Z?

I'm willing bet anything that a 370Z would really appease me as a GT car but nothing more.

Youre insane. It doesnt. Not according to your definition anyways. As far as im concerned though the frs is more sport than the z

Kinda funny, I want to trade my 350Z for this car. I wonder what the Z community will think of me for doing that. lol. I do like the FR-S, ALOT, but the power level and the fact that you can actually feel it on the Z is totally different than an FR-S, which is expected. I realized this when I drove my 1st FR-S a few weeks ago. I want this car, simply because it is more fun to drive than the Z, handles nicer (nimbler & more agile), and the gas mileage for a DD is much better than my Z. Not to mention my 350Z has some pretty shitty fit-and-finish within the interior, Im just being honest. But I don't think any Z owner is jealous of someone with an FR-S and vice versa. Different strokes for different folks. These 2 cars were built for different purposes.

I've always been indifferent to the Z. Kind of liked them but not drawn to them. I think it's because they seem "chubby" to me. I guess when it comes to automotive taste I'm not a chubby chaser.

I've seen some do some damn impressive things at a race track though, except one of those was a tube frame but still...

Today: read what other idiots on the internet have to say about something.

Don't care. Someone's always gonna hate. If it's an overweight, overpriced, GT bruiser that douchebags are famous for driving...definitely don't care.

ubersoph · 07-06-2012, 03:01 AM

I actually literally cannot fit in a 370Z, so that made this my default choice. Defintely not the same kind of car though.

Pscylo · 07-06-2012, 03:34 AM

Good laugh at least....guess I drive a sporty family car

Oh wait, the back seats cut my insurance cost some...even though I won't ever use them. hah

Last week there was a brand new z w/ a wondering jawdroping look from my side, back to rear then drive away. I drove the old 350z. it an unbalance car and the steering feel is not even close compare to the 86 !

Sibze · 07-06-2012, 03:10 PM

I agree with everyone here. Its personal opinion. is the FRS/BRZ slower? Probably... ok... it's also cheaper... The 370z is slower then the mustang and they hate the mustang too. Whatever..........................

Drive the car you like and don't look back. If it makes you happy, it makes you happy

Hanzo · 07-06-2012, 03:44 PM

Even if the 370z cost the same or cheaper I would still buy the BRZ.

And I'd buy a 370 because I like the power. I owned a 370 and would again...

There is a reason why car company's give people choice. Not everyone likes the came toys.
