Congrats. You completely missed the point.

The point: Neither torque nor fun RWD sports cars are needed for the daily commuting grind. That doesn't stop people from wanting those things though.

Zenki and Kouki are terms that have been around forever, dudes. Zehn-kee, koh-kee. Zenki = early, Kouki = late. That's basically it and all you need to know.

That's quite a revelation for merely driving stock tires in warmer conditions. You should definitely try driving the car with some real tires on it.

Sounds pretty similar to my experiences. However, I don't believe much time is spent below 3K RPMs in any S2K. I'm above that even in most daily driving situations.

The resale value really isn't that bad. It's hard to find even 2013 year FR-S/BRZs for less than $17k.... even with like 50-60k miles on them. I would have expected those to be like $14k by now.
