I don't think they're numb....I know plenty of people who are anything but. There IS an unfortunate value of quantity over quality in the US though. I think you and I can agree on that.

Yeah, exactly.

Although, in severe cold weather, like in SD where I'm from where it'll dip to the -30s, it's wise to let the car run for about 5 min before going on to gently drive it to warm it...

I saw somebody say something about not needing to let a car warm up anymore.

There's really no break-in needed for modern mass produced ICE engines.

Based on the nearly 200lb weight difference between the cars, and the fact that the BRZ/FR-S is RWD and will actually put the power down in 1st gear, I'd say no contest. BRZ/FR-S will probably be...

Uh....

The current 5.0 Mustang is 3600lbs. The GT500 is around 3820lbs. I expect the new 650hp GT500 will be more like 3900lbs to cope with the extra power.

For the size and power, the...
