LOL... Go test drive the cheapest M car.. an M2.. if they let you.. and see for yourself. There's nothing the twins can do that an M2 cant however there are things the M2 can do that the twins cant.. I'm all for the twins beat everything mentality... I love this car but sometimes you just have to be objective and other than looks (I agree they ugly and boxy)... M cars take it in every way.
No need to be upset tho it's a silly comparison in the first place. Price Price Price. |

No No. First of all your post on weight and seat position was talking about the M240i. My post was referring to M cars. The M240i Although it has an M in it's name... is NOT an M car. (Before you say oh but you said "any" and the brz beats a "...insert old BMW m car of your choice..." I must clarify that by "ANY" I was referring to models you can currently buy new only.
Now that that's cleared up. More weight?.. trust me you don't feel it. Higher seat position?? Preference thing but still... GO sit in an M2. I Guaranty you wont be thinking 'Oh man I wish I was 2 cm lower to the ground. |

You're talking 500 n/a hp or 650+ FI power with 30K in mods... Jaden See the Pure Automotive swap thread... 8 second car for less than 47K...and before you even start straight line only b.s. that's what they built, you can make the car anything you want... 30k in mods done right can be insane... |

If you spend 30k in mods you really should have just considered building a race car from scrap metal, how much work does the car really need to be "acceptable" in your mind?? (not you personally, rhetorical) |

I failed to mention that I am a previous FR-S owner.
Had one for two years before I got rid of it and bought a 2015 Z51 Corvette. I know all about what the twins feel like, handle like, sound like, and how they perform. My previous ownership experience is the reason why I put $1k down on the tS. The twins are not perfect but they are absolutely great at what they were intended for. They just need more freaking power (IMO). Even with a full exhaust and tune I still wish they had about 50 more hp. For those of you touting a 30k difference thats not true. BRZ starts at 26k and a M240i starts at 46k. You can do a lot with 20k no doubt. Maybe I should get a premium and do more mods myself. I chose the tS because I felt like the value for what you get isnt that bad. This is the VS section which I posted here because the entire point of this section is comparing the BRZ to other cars not just making blanket "the twins are the best everything else sux" comments. |

BMW no contest, If you are buying a tS and modding it that defeat the purpose of getting a tS to be honest? since you gonna mod, you can pick up a near new 2017 brz with performance package for 10 grand less. if that's the case then go with BRZ all day. Remember that the US tS is not like the tS they had in japan. There are only few minor upgrades that you can purchase yourself + body kit & wing. ***Oh hey but if you are still getting the tS and Supercharge/turbocharge it, I call dips on those 18x7.5 sti wheels. You wont have near enough traction with the tire setup you can go with those wheels. 1st in line, don't fight with me guys. Last edited by chaoskaze; 02-06-2018 at 02:18 PM. |

B. I disagree with you on the tS modifications and their value. ts has: Tires and wheels Body kit Wing Interior and head unit upgrades Tuned suspension Bracing and stiffners Some of those things you cannot buy. And furthermore if you bought all of these things yourself on top of a premium BRZ you would likely spend just as much or more money. |
