Which one of you did this?

I find it hard to believe that anyone with a BRZ would try to race a cobra.

Honestly, the fact that these "sports car owners" don't know anything about the BRZ or FR-S says a LOT about the Scion/Subaru Marketing Departments in the U.S.!

If it were me, i would personally make a marketing campaign around the fact that Subaru+Toyota came together to make these cars, much like in the same spirit of the Olympic Games currently going on. (people coming together, etc.) It doesn't have to be Olympic-Themed, but have a voice-over saying a witty remark regarding the connection.

But oh well, what do i know, I'm just a teenager.

BRZ driver probably just wanted to see the Cobra go. Just putting your foot down in an 86 ought to tell you it's going to be eaten alive by any muscle car in a drag race.

I like the "Nice Kill" comments. Aside from the street racing aspect, that's not very brag worthy if you ask me.
On an unrelated note, I microwaved a burrito earlier guys, took mad skill yo. Hit it with a devastating "Quick Minute." Didn't stand a chance against my baby's 1200 watts.

Wished they had put the STI turbo motor and AWD system into that car.

They did, it's called... an STi...

First of all, I think once a SC is available the cost of "go fast" for the 86 will be on par with the cost to make a Mustang "turn".

Second, it might be a great bang for the buck but so is marrying an ugly girl, doesn't mean I want to. It's nice to have a wife you aren't ashamed to take out in public.

If I wasn't against using quotes in my sig, this would be there. Smart man.

So I don't ever do this (much less post about it), but while I was taking out my WRX the other day between sandwich breaks, I ran across a silver Prius. Those of you who live in the bay area know what I'm talking about. I kept seeing him staring at me at the stop light, like he wanted some of this. I guess he heard me as I rolled up to the light, with my sick Boxer rumble.

But anyway, I'll make this short and sweet. He decided to mess with me, turning off his engine and sipping his soy latte like the mother earth he was, even though I'm chillin with my E40 on. I really didn't want to embarrass him in front of who I'm guessing was his hot girlfriend, but he just rubbed me the wrong way with his polo shirt and rugged good looks. So we gunned it at the green light and well... I'll let you finish the rest. After that, he didn't try anything again.

I think I hit 35 before he even let off the brakes, and I just DESTROYED that thing by lengths that would even boggle Bill Nye's mind. It's like it didn't even move. Why did they even put such weak engines in those things? Now I understand that they were made for mileage and efficiency, but what a POS otherwise.

After that, I patted myself on the back. I felt good. Like I was awesome. No, wait...I AM awesome.

[end of spoof. this is a fake story. just poking fun at the OP's link's OP.]

And somewhere out there on a Prius forum (it must exist, right?), they are talking about those Subaru assholes driving all fast and thinking we're so awesome and talking shit about them while they try on that new polo they just bought and sip their soy lattes.

In all seriousness, this forum has overall been very chill. I've seen people butt heads with each other and tempers flare at times, but its been mostly positive.

It really is chill, compared to other forums I've been on. It's a great community to be a part of.

I'd do it just to hear that engine roar :]

Heh, the rev limiter on those things is only 4000 or so, because they wanted to cut costs (okay, and a tiny bit of friction) by weakening all the engine components. That's why they have like, 80 horsepower.

and his first response is a flame from a camaro guy on his forums, lol that's rich.

So he wishes they made a 2door wrx.......

Who knows what had happened if he just told part of the story. Perhaps the corba guy was pushing him all the way 'till stopped at the traffic light? I won't say which one got a upper hand, because both could have advantage in different condition/situation.
