And if it comes from the factory it's stock. As in, it came ordered that way, not modified with aftermarket parts. But then if that doesn't hold true, any special variant on a car is just a "not stock" version of the original... even if it's stock. |

So they just give incentives to buy American or the American cars hold poor value. When they decide to make a car that's not the size of a small elephant then it will be appealing to me. I like the whole "getting more done with less" feel. A big Camaro, Mustang or Charger just doesn't do that for me. |

This doesn't surprise me at all, lol. A FR-S/BRZ with a sports package(sways/wheels/tires/shocks/springs) will obliterate the Mustang... as to the stang, I don't think you can ever make it faster in the corners, unless you did some massive weight reduction ...
Imagine this car on slicks w/ coilovers.... yum.

I just hope the FR-S/BRZ won't be a giant theft magnet like my ITR was |

It is obvious the new mustang can handle turns, especially after watching this video, but turns will feel worlds different with the BRZ. How old are you wise man? With your use of "shits on", I'm guessing about 25. |

I really believe that alot of people are not in the market for a new car. They are just fanboys not realizing all the options u have for a 28k 2+2 sports car. Those who put a deposit down and the first 86 are people who know for a fact they want this car and no review or comment will change their mind. Then their are people like me who have been saving their money and are in the market to buy a car now but are waiting to test drive the brz/fr-s b4 plopping down the money for it.
And come on stop all this "what if" crap. U have to realize what ever mod or money that u do to the brz can also be done to any other car. The fact is this they tested two cars and one was faster than the other no tricks it was the same driver on the same track with the same conditions and both were factory cars. Perhaps a couple years from now Subaru will add a turbo and blow away the competition but now they are getting beat easily. |

You can deride us for listening to the majority of journalists/professionals that say this is the *best* driver's car in its class, but to claim that none of us won't be able to tell the difference when we drive it is ignorant... and mostly stupid. The Mustang is a boat. An awesome-handling, powerful boat. That's a fact. And I can tell the difference between a boat and a car. Quote:

It's the same as the GT-R owning everyone in the first 4 laps, then brake fade hits and the tires get greasy... and everyone passes you. Same thing will happen on the stang. The 86, on the other hand... How come there are no stock car enduros, would be an entertaining watch...
