Default Nissan 350z quicker than frs mk 2

My brother just bought a 350z have not been out in it yet but it looks a real nice car,last night i was looking through an evo mag and the 350 is faster around theyer test track than both the focus rs mk1 and 2.What im saying is we waited 6 years for the rs and it should be better,so thats a nine grand car better than a 27 k focus very disapointed.

How much is the 350Z new?

And the sports car may be quicker, but I bet it doesn't lug people and stuff about nearly as well!

WOW how cheap are those Datsun's!!!! 9k for a new 350z..... bargain!!!!

Not that I'm defending the Focus in any way, cause I think the 350's are a decent car for the money, but just because it is faster around a track does not mean it's a better car it just means it's faster suprisingly enough. If I HAD to choose between the 2 for an everyday car, it would be the focus

Those 350z's are slow so i'm not even sure how one could be faster than an frs mk2 Hmmmm

i'm genuinely shocked to find out that are quicker than mk2 frs'!!

Better? Just wait till you run into the shit loads of problems those things have. I bet further down the line the bottom end will let go (just like the rest of them) and the Focus will still be going.

Think i'm joking about them being unreliable? My cousin is a Tech for Nissan in Slough and he dishes out all the dirt on GTRs and 350Zs. Its not just his garage that gets the in. Mill Hill has 7 GTRs in with MAJOR problems. He guarantees 3 to 6 350z every few weeks. Always major engine problems. So 9grand may seem cheap to you but be ready to spend a whole lot more on keeping the thing on the road and less in Nissan's Garage

Why the fuck are you comparing a Brand New Hatch ( which is arguably the best of it's type ) against a tired second hand car worth Ł9k?

That comparison says either all hot hatches are shit because they arent as fast as a purpose built sports coupe that was Ł30k new OR my name is Dick Cock and i've made another fucking stupid post about FRS and comparing cars.

You Decide
