Terrible car.. kid I work with owns one and its just not fun.
Has no balls at all and there is pretty much no back seat. He's had like 4 different mechanical problems and the car has like 10k on it.

Its a lot harder to make a car significantly faster in a straight line WHILE retaining or slightly improving the original handling than it is to make a car handle better while moderately improving acceleration. After all, going fast in a straight line requires certain things out of the suspension in itself.  Suspension is a compromise. The only way you can do it without compromising is to make the car handle like its on rails and be slow or make it hook and go fast but turn like a boat.  Everything in the middle is a compromise.  The mustang is a compromise. Its hooking up more power. The brz is much less of a compromise from an engineering standpoint.  No, that isnt a compliment. If you think it is read this post again until you get it.


This, is, the dumbest shit i have seen on the subforum in quite some time.
Thanks for the laughs.

Next time you want to teach physics, don't even try.

Hey look, i can see into the future!!

Subwoofer, your money argument is still a terrible one. It's no ones fault here that you're poor, except yourself.... and 26k for a new car... isn't an expensive car, no matter how hard you try.
But the watch on my wrist cost more than your z71, so i guess we just have a different view of what 'expensive' is.


Vouch his watch ive seen it :o

theres this thing called purpose built cars. if its built for the track, then typically its not going to have very good straightline speed. sure it might be able to be a lot of cars in a straight line mainly because of wieight reduction and increased hp. but it will NEVER beat a car made for drag. and visa versa.

edit: look at those ams 9 or 12 gtr people talk about. i can guarantee you that they are worse around a track than a stock gtr

Shiiiiieeeett I forgot we got ballers on this forum

"The watch on my wrist cost more than a brz" sounds like it could be a Gucci song

And mega Lols were had when I found out stupidkid doesn't even own a frs/brz. Your arms must be tired from swinging on dem nuts

I'm placing an order for a 2014 brZ for an April delivery. I've already been in contact with my dealership.

I specifically didn't want a 2013 because I wouldn't feel comfortable buying a first year production car.

Pretty sure I've said this before.

Nonetheless. I ride them brZ balls hard and yes, I am a fanatic.

Oh believe me, I know they are.

Above all, I know this isn't a fast car. It's quick, but not fast.

People simply need to understand that not everyone is looking for the most hp car for the price. And certainly not everyone needs a 300+hp powerhouse.

Other car companies WILL put out small, lightweight cars to compete with the twins.
