Ok, now I know something is weird. I just went outside to roll my windows up, which were cracked to reduce heat. Five minutes later, I looked out, and my driver's side window was halfway down...

Dead battery; starts up in limp mode

Excuse me if I'm misinformed on what "limp mode" is exactly. I've seen it used, but never seen an exact definition of what it is.

So, the torque curve isn't really peaky? I guess I assumed it would look like a 600hp Supra torque curve, where the car jumps 100ft lbs in like 500rpm... I always imagined that would be hard to...

Agreed. Having that kind of power with relatively narrow tires and the low gearing these cars have is crazy for anything other than just a hard, straight-line pull. And that's kind of the exact...

I'll go a step further and say that it's not just the lowness of the car. You know what's crazy, coming from a 410whp, 3,100# FRC Vette with Z06 suspension, which sat lower than the BRZ, I still...

Hey man, I had a heads/cam FRC C5 (390/410whp), and I loved that car. I was scared I'd miss the power, but the BRZ is such a joy to drive that I haven't regretted it for a minute. I'll probably end...

My local Bank is offering a rate of 1.35% on a 5 year CD. I was using that number to be fair;using a rate from a shorter term would make my point even stronger.
