I have owned and FRS and a 350z and driven an 370z. Two different experience. 370z is better but the FRS is more practical.
370z with bolt ons and a tune can make around 315-330 WHP. About 3-5 grand depending on USD/Cad and where you get your parts or new/used. After that to bring HP up on NA, will take fuel mods, and starts to get very expensive to make more power. You will have to go supercharger or twin turbo setup, which will make around 415-600 WHP on stock internals. Although you're looking at $15-20 grand to go FI.
I have a 13 370z Sport & have driven an FRS. The 86/BRZ is better in weight, handling and steering feel. The 370z however destroys it statistically in almost every way. In reality though, on the streets, 370z is in a different class.
You got me on that dog picture bro. 🤣💀 86 is cool 😎 but the z is 💪
Z has definitely got some power in it!
Already got my BRZ. Wanted one from the first time I saw them in high school when they first launched.
congrats man, i am planning on getting one very soon as well. same as you, its been a dream car!
@@ayonmkjust bought one, arriving on Wednesday… haven’t even driven her yet but now I’m seeing z’s for around the same price and having second thoughts. It’s my first manual though so it might be better to learn on stock brz while slowly upgrading the lackluster speed to grow with the car.
Laughed so damn hard with the dog thing at the end💀
Id get the gt86, cause with all that Nissan juice, I would loose my license real fast 🤣 But if that wasn't a concern, I would go for the z
i agree 100% with the wing comment
This video is underrated, useful quick entry infos on both cars there. However why did you do the Z exhaust sound like that damn it hahaha
Aaayyy I had to do it to 'em lol. Thanks for the support, and there's a lot more content like this on the way so stick around!
I'm already 350, and I don't think anything can change my mind, if I can't drive my car I'll die. She's even saved me during my lowest times, always there for me, don't know what id do without her.
Thanks yes 370z is my choice but the price is going up and up...
now i cant look at my z without seeing a dog thats taking a poop
Gotta slap a wing on that bad boy!
People say that about the Chrysler crossfire too
370z oil temps are an issue, so you do have to be willing to invest in a proper oil cooler depending upon where you live and how you plan to use it; With that being said, at 90k miles, mine uses ZERO oil....
Im so lucky to get a 2015 370z which only under 20km. Pretty happy with it.
nice score
The ending recommendation cracked me up 😂
As a Z owner they’re super reliable and can be modded to basically any configuration.
From simple bolt ons all the way to turbo or supercharger applications there is a huuuuge aftermarket for these cars.
Plus they’re cheap af to buy! Pretty great
The 370 is a waay better car than the 350 so comparing it to the frs is kinda stretching it a little different leagues
Depends on your priorities
@@frostfoxy7779 well i mean thats true but to an extent, because the 370 would absolutely destroy the 86 in a race on the track. And the 350 would be a challenge for the 86.
@@lookinlikegeo1825 The 350z would destroy the 86 as well
@@lookinlikegeo1825 Trust me when I tell you: a 350Z will KILL an 86. I've seen it plenty of times personally.
hows your torque dip? honestly these 2 cars are different categories.
If you can get a 370z i have no idea why you'd ever consider the BRZ. Brz is a miata alternative for people who don't want to buy used.
It’s cuz he has a BRZ = nao qualified to make a comparison.
Brz better handling better tech rear seats that fold down newer platform lsd. 370z higher quality materials shorter wheel base more power reliable motor. Like a underpowered sports car compared to japanese muscle car
Someone lives in my area has ALOT investment into his brz. Beautiful looking. Tried to get me to trade my 370 i would never. That said brz/frs are very nice!
It's hard to compare the two. The 86 is a really fun car and a good, practical daily driver, but it's out of its depth trying to compete with a purpose-built race machine like the Z. It comes down to raw power. Not only does the 370's engine have two more cylinders and more displacement, but it also has a variable valve lift intake cam and an insanely strong bottom end that can easily take 500 whp with no need to modify the stock internals.
Lol u say that but the BRZ is a much better purpose built track car, so idk what your point is.
Quick question would be better to get one used and if so what year ?
#370Z nuff said.
Ok I will make sure I put a wing on it 😂😂😂
Im getting the brz soon 😭😍💕
Congrats! I’m sure you’ll love it
Chicks love the 86 lol
I thought also about getting the brz but today i drove with my bmw behind a 86 and damn those things are tiny. So i think the 370 is much better for me
Earned a sub. Thank you!
Had my brz for 2 years and just lost it in a flood 🥴. Now looking into a Z
Sorry to hear that man! The 370 is a SOLID choice, and I recommend it in this video!
Damn I’m never going to stop seeing the picture of a dog sh*ting when looking at the rear of car now.
Okay so im 16 and not necessarily looking for a Z or BRZ/86/FRS as a first car but def in the near future, does anyone have experience with either having one of these from early on and if so what is like the price for repairs (cheap or expensive) that i or someone else could expect?
I bought a stock FRS back in 2017. Wheels, coilovers, exhaust and whatnot made it a pretty fun little daily. After wrecking that car on a wet mountain road, I bought a BRZ and turbo’d it. The turbo absolutely brought it to life and I could beat most other 350’s and 370’s up a mountain. The problem with boosting the FA20 is that the internals itself are relatively weak, and the engine is prone to pre-detonation. Spun a rod bearing at redline, and now I’m engine swapping it with a turbo, Honda K24.
As for your question on cost of repairs, I would say the 350/370z is going to be easier on the wallet. More shops know how to work on a standard V6 vs a boxer-4. Head gasket replacements on boxer engines are not uncommon, and getting at the spark plugs is a real pain in the a$$. The BRZ/FRS also uses 8 injectors (for both port and direct injection), so if you want to upsize you’ll need 8 vs the standard 4. Just a couple of things to think about in your research 👍🏼
@@BuildingWithSean thank you so much!!!
I got a BRZ for my first car. It is an amazing car but now it's in the repair shop from an accident. Send help plz
Of course 370 better more expensive looking car and better overall power, but at the end of the day you should just get what you like if you can afford it. Personally I like the g37 over 370z , luxury look over sports look.
For sure! Everyone has their own preferences, and that's really what I'm getting at in this video. I lay out the differences and the pros/cons, and its up to you guys to take that info and get the car that you like best.
Personally I like my frs look way better. Sleek luxury and sporty look. If you upgrade the exhaust you can be content with it. But the 370z hp is respectable and puts in class to be compared to Camaros and challengers and increases it’s potential to gain that 1k hp ! Drifting in a brz I noticed isn’t easy due to that lack of power and you feel it! Trust me. It’s all looks
this dude is going to be big someday, hes funny and gets to the point, much love keep grinding.
My 370z was stolen 😢should I rebuy one or buy my coworker’s frs?
🧢
370z
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT! NOW I CAN'T UNSEE IT WHEN I LOOK AT MY Z!😂
Which one? Both.
4:16 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Deaddd🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ahh that shit gets me every time😂😂
Notice how bro couldn’t say anything about the straight line speed or horsepower adding, 86 hurts the second it stops turnin my stock $2k ls400 has smoked 4 86 straight embarrassing
I’d pick the 86 and plus it looks better.
I would choose any gen z over the 86 sorry not sorry
370z 💜
Silly comparison dude
Brz for sure as it’s a pure drivers car. Z’s are pigs .
Useless video. No content at all.
Ngl I'm into the Subaru BRZ cus it has back seats so your family can go with you
No one is fitting in the back seats
@@Pharaoh_The_Great I’m 5’8 and I fit in the back of my FRS fine, as long as you aren’t like 6’3 you’ll fit comfortably, I even adjusted the seat for how I drive and crawled back there to see if I fit and I fit and was even comfortable
back seat is a must, that's why im looking at g37 coupe
