Not trying to bring this shit back up but I didn't get a fair shake. I've been working a lot the last two weeks.

Excuse me?  Don't take me for a child and don't start making false assumptions.  The 2013 Mustang GT has 420 HP and under my qualifications is a "fast" car......not quick.

I would rather drive a small car, than a larger making the BRZ very appealing to me.  With that said, the current generation Mustang is quite impressive.



So at what point does YOUR preference in the size of a car become to deciding factor for whether or not other people like it?


For a few thousand more I will gladly drive a mustang that gives you way more car for the money. That is all.

425 HP GT>200 HP van...
400+ is pretty decent power wise and there are GTs pushing 600+ with S/C's.

I dont consider my modded 07 GT "fast" but its definitely quick and with a bit of suspension work I wouldnt worry too much going up against a BRZ especially seeing as a paid 8k for the car 2 years old.



Why so defensive? I didn't say it was slow although I can see where a 5.0L 2011 GT would seem fast if you drive a 3 valve 4.6 S197. I wasn't stepping on your toes. Where I come from there are very few things that fall in to the "Fast" category straight off the showroom floor. A mid-high 12 second car is not one of those. Thus, "quick."


Wait, don't you just have a CAI and exhaust on that 07? If so I wouldn't parade around using the word "modded" like it means it's faster. Your CAI and exhaust did about as much as the CAI and exhaust on my diesel.

I was sharing my personal preference....NOT trying to force my specifications onto others.....Anyone with common sense can figure that out. The whole motto for the BRZ is that speed is not everything when it comes to cars......SO FAR it's succeeding....so far.


FAST VS QUICK

If you don't consider a mustang GT to be fast....you have extremely high, almost-moronic standards.

This is my opinion...Yes this is 0-60 and are not as important as quarter mile, I know.

8seconds+ =slow
6-7.9=quick
4.5-5.9=fast
3.0-4.4=very fast
under 3 seconds=holy shit

I bolded the part where I already assumed myself correct. 200hp minivans are in your quick range.


Anything I can drive to a dealer, finance <50k, and drive to the track is not abnormally fast. Why? Because that car is likely everywhere because it is quick and affordable.


By your standards my Formula was "Very Fast" with just heads and a decent sized cam. It trapped <120mph which makes it a bit of a joke at the drag strip compared to things that are actually "Fast." I know speed is relative and everyone's opinion is different. That's why a BRZ would not be for me. Honestly it is too slow. I respect what the car is supposed to be and I understand the idea. It would need another 150hp for me to consider it.


But hey, you read the reviews man, you should know.

You simply have a high standards of what is fast.....Yet in the practical sense, you're completely wrong.

I NEVER mentioned ANYTHING about track OR modded cars......

Your logic is awful......your theory is that cars under 50k are slow....Really?.....


Obviously we're not on the same page, I am simply talking about DDING.
