My 300ZX is the N/A model so it doesn't have any potential to be much quicker. My FRS would be my little street/track project to dump some money into and make quicker.

I would absolutely miss my 300ZX if I tried to sell it, unless I moved onto the Twin Turbo, but then id have no desire to drive it in bad weather. After selling my other 300ZX and going to that RX8, long story short, I had realized I made a huge mistake.

We shall see. I do enjoy hearing everyone else's plans tho

my 2003 WRX will be my daily driver. The BRZ will be my weekend/track car. I'll keep low miles on it and have fun wrenching on it.

no need to sell the WRX. it's been paid off forever, and at 126k miles... well, it's not worth much anymore. More practical for daily driving, since it's got 4 doors, AWD, etc.
funny though, that it will be far faster and more capable than the BRZ. she's stage 2 with a ton of other bolt ons.

BRZ will replace track Evo. Whether or not it will be tracked is another question, but it will be my second car to my 2.5RS daily.

I'm in a similar situation as I have a FXT as a daily driver that's paid off and the BRZ would be my weekend car to work on and drive on the weekends.

I've keep the FXT pretty much stock for reliability I'll throw bolt-ons the BRZ though.

I also have a sr20det 240sx which i'm not sure what do with it.

The FRS will be my daily driver. I plan to keep the ae86 for the weekends and hopefully hand it down to my son.
