When you come in here spamming for no reason, continuously posting the most annoying bullshit responses ever, yes, it is your job to prove me wrong about anything RELEVANT to the TOPIC.

Otherwise, leave.

Continuing to harass me is exhausting. This thread was fine until you started posting. Stop ruining the forum.





Oh....

and....

This forum was ruined loooooong ago

There's like 6 people on this forum that actually know anything.

You and your tampon car are not one of them.

Oh... and. Reported.

Because a Z is much less of a "tampon car."


Get lost.

Yeah, a Z32 speaks for itself, no need for silly arguments about the tires used, or anything.
Factory twin turbos, limited slip diff, cold air intake, and one could add more power than your car makes to a factory Z with as little as 2k USD.

A proper race car.

Get mad.

Here'es where I'll step in. While I'm NOT talking negatively about it's performance......the Z32 was priced HIGHER than a BRZ in the 1990s. I don't think i need to explain that any further.


They aren't even in the same price bracket by any means.




You have to realize....I wanted a small, light coupe and I wasn't spending over 30k. The BRZ fits me. It's fun, and my commute is only 15 minutes to work. I literally DONT care about having the best car on the road, or racing boy racers.

Please understand that, while you may want and care about having the fastest car for your money, not everyone feels the same way.

Nah if I wanted to fastest car for my money, I would drive a Honda lol
I've got buddys DEEP in the fucking 9's for less than 10 grand total, fucking INSANE man.
As much as I fucking hate Hondas and the fucking autists that drive them, their shit is extremely capable.

And the Z32 was priced insanely higher than a BRZ haha
a 96 fully loaded TT was like fuckin 65k. IN FUCKIN 1996!

It's the biggest reason there's hardly any 94-96 Z32 TTs on the road.
They went from 30k to 60k+ in a matter of a few years, with hardly anything done to them, essentially just made more reliable/easier to work on (injectors, rods, r134A AC refrigerant instead of R12, and a HICAS upgrade)

I bought and love Zs for the car itself, and the community.

Find a local Z32 on Craigslist and go kick some tires and test drive it. You'll understand what I mean.
Even if it's an NA, you'll still get that great driving feel, just with less power.


Though lowkey, an RB swapped FRS popped up in Chi Craigslist like 4 months back, and I went to test drive it.
I almost fucking bought the thing. Almost as fun to drive as my Z.

The swap was just a little janky, done by some dudes in a garage instead of a shop.
Otherwise I would probably own it right now lol

My fiance just traded in her 2014 civic ex for a 2017 ex hatchback........it's night and day between the cars and i'm actually quite impressed with the pickup. They managed to increase MPG and increase hp by 40 with the turbo 1.5L. Still a civic, but they did a swell job for a commuter car.

I'm not one to sink a ton of money into cars. It's not a good investment in my eyes. All I did was tune, header, CBE, drop in filter,remote start, summer tires/wheels and blizzaks/stockers for winter. Well i guess that was a good chunk of money, but I wouldn't put anything on that would jeopardize my ability to go to work like going FI.

My second choice was in fact a 370z, but it was 3k more expensive for a base model. I didn't like the interior, and the overall aesthetic design of the brz appealed to me more.

With my new business venture, I haul 5500 Ram chassis (cab and no bed, just frame) out of my local BNSF railyard, and for like a month and a half they were stockpiling the new Type R Civics on the lot for release. While most people were shitting their pants looking at pictures online, I got to walk between rows and rows and rows and ROWS of them.
I tried to get my dispatcher to give me load of them when they started pulling them off the lot early last week, but he said he couldn't because Honda requested that only drivers that have worked for MCC for 2+ years take them and I've only just bought my truck in January
Honda's making moves, for sure. The Type R is the apex of FWD racing, no doubt.

And that's actually decently modified, imo. What are you guessing at the wheels?

And good choice. BRZ > Z34.

I absolutely hate the Z33/Z34. They're not Z cars at all, they in almost no way embody the class and culture of the Z car.

Nissan went for the bottom dollar, so they could sell as many as they could.

I absolutely HATE that they branded those cars Zs.

Everything about Zs has always been done in-house. whether done by Datsun back in the day or Nissan more recently.
The VQ is co-designed by Renault, I forget which trans they use, but it's not a Nissan despite it just being the same trans I have in my car with a 2nd overdrive gear, there's no bells and whistles that Datsun/Nissan has always experimented with in the Z cars (HICAS, side mounted intercoolers, factory air intake routed to the nose of the car, just unique cool features)
The base model Z33/34 has an open diff, the interior is just cheap.

You were much better off with the BRZ.
And I different class of drivers own BRZ/FRS'

Most FRS' I see that are modified, are tastefully done.
80% of Z33/34s I see are fuckin riced out these days

Hell even the factory Nismo Z34 looks riced as FUCK, because Nissan knows who that car markets to.
