isn't this the Toyota GT86 Scion FR-S Toyota 86
totally forgot about Scion, will check them out
I didn't even KNOW Toyota made coupe/sports cars. Will definitely give them a look too.

His friends probably have cars. It's a bitch carting people around anyway. I like having only 2 seats. My friend always carts us around in his GT-R because I only have a 2 seater, I'd be getting all those miles on my car and paying for the gas if I had more than 2 seats.
Makes sense. I didn't think about it that way since rides are bummed a lot out here.

How long have you had your 370z and what year is it?
It's a 2009 and I've had it for a little over a year. Since getting it I've lowered it, put on extremely stiff sway bars, and bought track tires. I'm currently considering wrapping it blue (kind of like this but without the body kit). I love it, I wouldn't pick any other car over it until we get into the supercar range. It's definitely the best possible buy for the money.

i know of a car that is all electric and accelerates to 0-100 faster than a Bugatti veyron SS

...well?


Ever since I was a little stuff kid, I would play Need for Speed all the time, and I refused to use anything other than the Nissan 350z. Then the 370z came out, and I always use that. I'm just hoping by the time I (need to) get a new car, they'll be on 390z (assuming they continue with the trend of 20s)

bugattis acceleration is pretty bad for what the car is

Well, it went from the 240z to the 280zx to the 300zx to the 350z to the 370z, so I wouldn't say it really increments in 20s. The names actually come from the size of their engines; the 240z = 2.4L, 280zx = 2.8L, 300zx = 3.0L, 350z = 3.5L, 370z = 3.7L. I could envision a 390z or maximum a 400z, but beyond that they'd have to put a v8 in there to increase the displacement that much. All the previous Z cars have had six cylinder engines, so I really doubt they'll do that. What I could see them doing is introducing a twin turbo version of the 370z, maybe bumping up the engine capacity to 3.8L like the GT-R. That way the car would put out ballpark 500 horsepower but could still be a lot cheaper than the GT-R even if it uses the same engine platform. I don't know for sure what will happen, but it's interesting.

never said it was full size ;)
Faster than the Bugatti Veyron SS by 0.16 seconds, but slower than the Ariel Atom v8 by 0.1 second. Oooh, nice try little buddy!

Does a GT-R have a v6 or v8? Pretty sure v8, but not certain.

V6

It's a twin turbo 3.8L v6.

i just realized the FR-S on the scion FR-S stands for Front engine Rear wheel-drive Sports car

i'm dum

I didn't really think about it. So now what does BRZ stand for?
