BRZ/FRS are very nice looking cars and corners great..if your looking for a turbo'd RWD car.. get a Hyundai Genesis 2.0T. cheaper, more hp, almost the same body, but doesn't have the same sleek look. also comes with the best warrenty.. lol..
personally not a hyundai fan but there are other alternatives.

I battled this decision the months before the Brz/frs was released.. Some of you may remember my thread about possibly buying a Genesis. It was hard to keep waiting for the Brz to come out and I have little patience.. Ended up getting an AE86 lol..
haha AE86? you mean FRS haha.. AE86 are sweet too.. lol.

No I picked up a 87 GTS coupe to fill the void in my life... Ended up selling it to ease the blow to my wallet when I bought my wife's engagement ring last year.. Then I had to control my urge to buy something until the frs came out.

That video of the BRZ chasing the S2000 clearly says it's in the range of them. Exactly where it should be with 200hp....... and how fast are S2K's around the track? Also..... How long are those straights at Buttonwillow? Put both cars on a touge.... See what happens. UNLESS MAGICALLY A WILD GODHAND APPEARS

Lol I love how its titled with turbo when there's not one bit of info saying it is. Just a generalized opinion that STi = Turbo. People seem to forget that this is still a toyota fitted with a boxer engine..... Keyword Toyota... When did the AE86 come with a factory turbo/SC?

My dad went from a z3 coupe with the 200hp 2.8l to a z4 m coupe with I think 330hp? And I drove the z3 a lot, basically learned stickshift in that car...and I drove the z4 only a few times but it was way funner to drive that car kinda fast than his slower z3 at its limits
And I'm not all about speed...went 4years with my wrx before even getting a stage 1 tune on my AP haha...sure it could use more power...ideally id like to be around 250-300whp but I'm fine where its at
