no thanks

i'm not a 52 year old dentist.


400-436 HP in a 3200 lb car

VS

200 HP in a 2800 lb car

don't have to have a PHD to figure out which one gets you more power for your $$

and the 52 year old dentist plays a key part in this, while he is buying his new weekend toy every 3-5 years, you drive the old one with ~30k miles on it for 40-60% of the original price.


I'm just saying if he's test driving RWD sports cars, a vette has to be on the list.

Toyota should've just manned up and said fuck subaru. They should've had the Fr-S/gt86 the new supra. Bring back a revamped 2jz and put dicks in mouths bruh. A 2jz swap gt86 would be so dope.


The reason why Supras were/are so popular is the car made for an amazing aftermarket tuner.........exactly what the twins ARE.....

I would have bought a vette, but i'm not having my mid-life crisis
I would have bought a mustang but i'm not a Bro

So since i didn't qualify to purchase either of those cars, i opted to buy 80% of a porsche for 20% of the price.
No one has mentioned the center of gravity and balance aspects of the twins in this thread yet either.

also page 11, we're getting there, how long was your old brz thread sopranos 30+ pages?

Yeah, but I'd rather have a 2jz over a boxer engine anyday. I hate the flat 4's.

lol dat thread, where did you even pull up that "month of release" brz thread? But yeah some ignorant arguments from people who had yet to drive one.
It would be like arguing with someone who valets cars around a parking lot and thinks they have some grand knowledge of how all cars drive... in a parking lot :rofl:

Or like trying to convince a fanboy that there might be better bang for your buck cars out there.

Which is why there's really no point in arguing, unless of course we're shooting to break sopranos thread record

The thing is.... Fans of the twins know the cars aren't fast. We know there are faster cars for the same price or cheaper, but that's not why we like them.....

The brZ appeals to me because of the way it looks, and it's a lightweight car. That's what matters to me the most. Everything else fell right into place. If you could buy a new Lamborghini for the same price, I wouldn't care because they aren't appealing to me.
