Subaru BRZ Limited + Gotta-Have-It Green + flat black racing stripe down the driver's side = Who do I have to kneecap in order make that happen?

Nowai.

School Bus Yellow.

Have you read autoblog.com at all? Every time a BRZ/FR-S article is posted on that site, the amount of knuckle-draggers that come out en-masse against the cars make the Great Ape house at your local zoo look like a college campus. It's douche-baggery at its finest

Capt Canuck · 05-03-2012, 12:26 AM

Sure, but if its the one they were waiting for, the Mustang would have delivered the BRZ a serious bumming.
But that didnt happen :-)

Driving a 2008 and thinking its an accurate representation of a 2011+ model surely is way off base.

Have you driven one? Does the 2011+ model feel smaller? Lighter? Sharper steering? I'm serious, I really want to know. Maybe I'll just test drive one tomorrow and answer my own questions...

Awesome video. Thanks! Definitely should keep those mustang trolls a little more quiet.

I had an '11 V6 for a rental at Xmas and I genuinely liked it.
I'd had an '0something before as a rental and the engine was just so poor.

I really think the '11+ Mustangs are great value - yes they are not the BRZ/FRS, they go about things in different manners. I'm not buying a Mustang anytime soon and definitely wouldn't pick a V6 over a BRZ/FRS, but ya go drive one and see what you think :-)

Yeah. Over 100 horsepower worth only a second and a half.
