I don't often want for more HP but I would very much like another 100 pounds of torque. I want to be able to stand on it in 3rd or 4th and make it jump not toodle it's way up. I've never been a rev hound, I prefer mid range grunt. I had an old Willys Jeep with a built Buick V6 that pushed 215hp to the rear wheels (in 2wd) but it was near 300 tq and that thing would roar from 40 mph up in 4th when I needed it to. Unfortunately it ran out of gear in the high 50's but damn if it wasn't a monster up to it's max.

If you think 3400 lb cars are an option then you don't understand why I bought an 86. |

This thread is giving me a serious dose of deja Vu....lol, every 10 years it'll be back to debating turbo / NA, hatchback variant, blah blah blah
Countless, countless, threads from pre release arguing / begging for turbo. It's a, seemingly now, never ending cycle. Last edited by OldSkoolToys; 02-16-2020 at 12:43 PM. |

Fun fact. $37,482 Is the highest you can option a BRZ. That is a tS with every accessory minus the cargo mat and organizer which cannot be added with the more expensive kicker subwoofer. $37,037 is the highest non tS model package.

I have a simple request could they make the keyless entry actually work decently next time? I just bought a Mazda3 for a commuter car and the keyless entry in that car works flawlessly.

That's strange. I had my fob in my pocket of my hoodie with a vest over the top of that this morning and it worked just fine

I know by limiting it to auto-trans only an additional ~100-120 lbs of weight loss was passed over, so yeah, I have an idea of how hard they tried on that car. The Civic Type R has ~300 hp, 4 doors, is longer, taller, and wider than a Supra, and weighs ~3100 lbs (and yes, I know it's an FWD car). The Golf R has ~300hp, 4 doors, and AWD, and also weighs less than a Supra, so again, I don't see why I should believe 300 hp in a BRZ is an outlandish request. Sure, it wouldn't weigh 2800 lbs, but it's not going to balloon up to 3400 or likely even halfway there. |
