it's a well, thought-out review from a car enthusiast. There is no reason to be a douche bag.

really? Just keep the rpm's above 4500 when changing lanes or merging. The top end of the frs really surprised me, it gets up and moves.


haha well depends what you're comparing to, yes its super light so you feel it move.

the torque doesn't rly vary much between 3k and 7k rpm, but at the peak you're pushing 150 torque, and even at close to redline you're cranking out 180hp.

Its light yes, but at high speeds, for normal daily driving like on freeway straight line weight doesn't matter, your total displacement airflow, torque and hp. power to weight is negligible.

Its a good car really, put you just don't feel even 30% of its full potential unless you take it on the track, and REALLY REALLY push it. On same day of track, swap around cars with people I know,
drove a 2013 Mustang GT500 with over 600hp, 2011 M3 with track wing and track suspension set up full evo pipe etc, seats deleted 450+hp, and FRS just with coil over and HKS exhaust, 4 people all do their best lap time in the FRS.

If I were to never take my car on a track, its just not the kind of car ill buy it to drive to commute.

dude is making no positive argument for the car and just romanticized its many many flaws.

The point is that he LOVES this car even though he previously owned an m3 and Porsche...


He was being realistic about its flaws....it's a $26k car...

crackheads love crack....doesn't mean its okay for them to listen to them about it being good for you. they can previously be billionaire time travelers....crack is still bad.

realistic? instead of saying well guys its slow and the grip sucks he went on about those problems making the car magical or some nonsense.

Posting in a brZ thread.





As much as I would love  to suggest the twins, I don't think it's the car for you.  If you were planning on modifying the car (performance), then yes, go brZ/frs.

The best thing I could suggest would be test driving one knowing its not a powerful car, stock.


I still don't see why everyone wants to put twins on these. Suuuure, you've got two banks, but the turbo is still being powered by two cylinders. Big turbo or supercharger, twins are just fuckin silly

Now you're trolling.


The grip is meant to lack.....They PURPOSELY put those tires on because they wanted the car to slide.....Seriously, this has been discussed before.

Nothing useful out of factory? This will be the most tuned and tracked car in years to come.....

Trolling, or dumb? Or am I dumb for not comprehending you? Twins= BRZ/FRS.....It's a common nickname.
