Tahoe in the summer, but yeah, not winter 
My S13 was plenty of fun, but I don't miss winter in it; pretty much had to have new tires in the winter or else.

My realistic guess is that most who say the BRZ needs more power haven't driven one. My DC5 had 200bhp and it was plenty of power because it was light. BRZ is also relatively light for 200BHP. It may not pin you to the seat, but speed isn't just about pinning you to the seat. That being said, it isn't like anyone would say "No, I don't want more HP." 
Yeah, I took an accidental "drift" a few weeks back on the way to work. I got the tires put on the next day.

I think if Toyota & Subaru are smart they'll keep the 2014 twins very similar to what it is now - no turbo
Up the hp to ~230 with intake & exhaust upgrades
I'm really happy with my BRZ!

Seems like there is plenty of room in there, but I still don't really see that fitting without upsetting the balance of the car. The motor in there is already so damn low it isn't funny, and the LS6 would probably have to sit higher. The NEW LS1 from the C7 is smaller and lighter though...
