Wow! I can't wait until they build it with an even bigger turbo.

I hate that Subaru made a BRZ it should have stayed with Toyota. How can a company that has strictly stood to one aspect in all of their cars throw that out the door and make a car RWD.

I don't hear people talking about how Ferrari and Lamborgini shouldn't make AWD Supercars... Who cares!? With little to no mods a BRZ/FR-S will leave your 05 behind in the twisties... It's a greatly engineered car and it couldn't have been made unless both companies contributed..
