Not everyone likes fast cars............

Also, the price of STI (not that I would ever buy) isn't that high.  Though, you could purchase the upgrades for far less.


fixed that for you bro

A brz comes slow but you can make them pretty quick with the stock motor from what I've seen

Uhh, I'm pretty sure most people are buying them because of the performance characteristics. Otherwise just get a Smart car if you only case about size and weight.

idk about this. I feel like the gains you would get for the price you pay wouldn't be worth it when it comes to bolt ons. like I saw a dyno of a turbo'd brz that only put out 260/210. Kind of a lot of money to be spending for not a whole lot of gains, especially since if you are looking for power there are so many better cars out there.

8k- for triple to torque and double the hp

Imb4 engine blows up ....but still that potential
