What I don't get is how does Mazda, using a 2.0 L engine, get less power using more fuel than the FRS/BRZ?

9 mohs? You serious? You're saying that this coating can only be scratched by a diamond. A steel knife will find no purchase. Sandpaper will be its equal?

This is the alternative I struggled with when I bought my FRS. $2000 more for a smaller engine, I just couldn't pull the trigger on that.

But I still miss the sky when I drive.

I guess I missed something here. Are you saying that these cars are the feminine ones, or the masculine ones? Because they resemble man junk.

Seriously? The particles are going to leap out of the coating as a fine dust?

Blackraven, you do know that silica is sand, right? It's in your toothpaste, it's what glass is made of. It isn't toxic, and it has no water- and oil-repellent properties.

As I said in some other post, once applied, touching it destroys the effect. It mats down the microfibers, and the exposed surface area goes way up. You'd need to apply it after every wash. Watch the...
