    Nice comparison. Having owned a 350z HR and FR-S, I'd also pick the FR-S. A used 350z is a fantastic value (I got mine in good condition for half the price of a new FR-S), but the little FR-S is so much fun at the track and great for all the reasons you mentioned. One suggestion for your test BRZ is to throw on a set of camber bolts and get it aligned. You can pick up -1.5 degrees at the front or < -2.0 if you double up. Not enough for real track work, but dirt cheap and would give you a little more front end grip. Both fun cars though and there's no wrong choice between the two IMO.

      As a BRZ owner, I completely agree with you. Anyone who bought a BRZ to go fast didn't do enough research into the car. It's a lot like a Miata; it's quick-ish, but it's more about the feel and the handling of the car than the raw power or speed.
      Even if you threw some forced induction under the hood, it would probably just break even with the 350Z unless you were to push some serious boost, but then you're looking at reinforcing several other aspects of the engine and transmission too.

      @@ryubiggie I'm sure the ST does handle well. Its a great platform and if I had 20 grand to get a decent one and tune/bolt on I would. Instead I got an Rx8. I've road-raced a ST. Top end we were pretty neck and neck from ~80-120 but the torque b/c turbo has that acceleration. And the Rx8 is faster than a brz (not much but it is) so that's how I made that assumption. It would be more interesting than this one for sure. This last video was an apples to oranges comparison. The 86 platform is a 4 cylinder, the rx8 is a 2 rotor equivalent to a four cylinder, and the ST is a turbocharged four cylinder. The Zed is a 6 cylinder motor and it's going to have the superior power (unless the others have crazy horsepower mods). To some degree it's true there is no replacement for displacement.

      I have a ST ive raced 3 brzs one when i was stock. My stock ST easily pulled on a fbo brz from a dig and 20 roll. Now im on a stage 3 pro tune running e30 230whp 320wtq and the other two brzs a raced was on e85 i pulled 2 buses. Brzs are cool but the firsta ST has to much torque the brz has none. With a good driver the ST will gap a brz everytime unless the brz is supercharged and the st is stock turbo. You should really upgrade the turbo then your beating v8s.

      330ci would get destroyed. I've got one and a 350z HR model (not a BRZ I know) but in the handling stakes there it's like night and day. The front end doesn't bite like a Z and the e46 rolls a lot more (and that's with h&r sway bars) mainly cause of its higher CoG. U can literally feel the Z maintaining optimal suspension geometry better and for longer as u push, meaning u can turn on tighter and accelerate out earlier.

    During the roll races, Daves shifting in the 350z was slower for sure and was costing a bit of time compared to Pete in the BRZ. I don't know if that's just the limit of the shifter or something about Dave's technique. In terms of the outcome, I think they might underestimate what 2 car lengths mean on the drag strip, it's about a 1 second difference quarter mile which is comparing a 13 second car to a 14 second car. It's not like we are comparing the BRZ to a Corvette here, the 350z only has 300hp and weighs a lot more so the difference is about what I'd expect. Finally, you can find a 2004 350z in decent condition for 6k and values are going up. A 2013 BRZ in good condition starts at 10k and values are still dropping. If you just want the better performing vehicle, the 350z is the place to go. If you want a newer vehicle that is better balanced and easier to live with on the daily, the BRZ is the superior choice.

    Would you two gentleman be interested in driving/testing my full bolt on Eclipse GT-V6 6MT? People immediately write off these cars, but I'd like to see exactly what they're capable of in the right hands. I'd be willing to show you more if it's something you'd like to see a little closer as I live a short drive away from Cayuga. Love your channel, thanks in advance

    Question with that bumper on the z can you keep fender liners? I never want to lose them. Tbh. Also had both"ex gf had one" ill take the z. And my sentra ser spec v is faster than the old brz. Like by top of 4th I'd have 4 5 cars on it. But my 4 door spec v is under 2400lb. I'm just a nissan kid haha.

    I have those tires on a stock 350z track I purchased for 700 dollars. (And have since fixed the mostly lapsed maintenance.)
    They’re good. But could use more confidence on bumpy mountain high way driving.
    5th gear full throttle sweepers, and above 130+ mph confidence starts to drop.
