everything is weird when you cross over into different car cultures, especially when you have been so accustomed to one. The FRS/BRZ/86 car culture would be the weirdest of them all..we have so many cultures coming together on this forum..it is a bit weird and people feel weird because their views may be not similar to the next poster, but i feel sorta refreshed.

Yes, it would actually!
Thankfully I have a nice low-mileage 97 TT 6-spd in my garage that I am keeping from the power madmen... It has down+mid piping and an exhaust but that's it, and I have all the stock parts in my garage...

Now on the otherside, I'm planning on a doing a 300bhp'ish NA four for this car...which just screws with my head. I can see is now...'Here are two 4-cyl Subaru boxer engines. That one puts down 4-digits and this one about a fourth of that' Of course two very different uses. One is for Time Attack/Drag/Stanind Mile...the other is for fun and punchy driving. Nothing that makes you want to shit your pants |

^^^so true. The next comes at the track when you are hungry for the corners but you're stuck in a slow car...so you have time to yawn, check your mirrors (so you can point people by), pick your nose, have a drink...and still anticipate arriving at the next turn
joking of course but I do love corners but I also love the feeling of leaving a corner under heavy throttle and being pinned into the seat-back AND against a bolster while you start steering out of the corner and are ready to start tossing counter steer if the rear is coming out Then again, my serious corruption started years ago with Formula SAE... |
