Also did you miss the part where the Z06 weighs 3,118 pounds and has 405hp and runs a 12.8 in the quarter mile, but still achieves 2-3 MPG less than a BRZ? Oh and again it DOESN'T require premium, therefor the difference is totally negligible. No the point of a z06 is not MPG, but nor is a BRZ. and there's no way in hell a BRZ is getting 35-40 MPG on the highway. I don't care if you set the cruise to 40mph. |

Truer words have not been spoken. Buy something else and move on, so the forum can be thinned out from the red light HP junkies.

30 for the manual, 34 for the auto.

EPA tests are done in a laboratory on a set of rollers. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/how_tested.shtml And these are the test cycles. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/fe_test_schedules.shtml If you'll note, they only do 10 highway miles. To give you a idea of how much these tests can be off, my 2007 Legacy GT spec.B is rated at 24mpg highway. On my trips from OH to MA, I regularly average 29mpg. Does it mean the BRZ will hit 40mpg? I highly doubt the manual could, but the auto might just barely scratch it under ideal conditions. But I'm sure I'll be enjoying 35mpg on my trips in my BRZ. |

It should be of note that EVERYTHING shaX_07 has stated to be a negative is an opinion, not a fact. You ignore the quoted EPA rating for the corvette and simply say higher MPG can be achieved in practice, this can be said about ANY vehicle. the EPA qualifications for determining MPG are federally mandated tests, in practice hyper milers achieve vastly superior MPG. Apples to apples, the FR-S gets superior MPG then your (poorly chosen I might add) comparison vehicle. That said, since you refuse to make a point based on anything other then opinion, why waste your time? No one is going to make you buy an FR-S/BRZ at gun point. It's more like you have some sort of hard on for this car and you just cant help but vent your frustrations. You can go ahead and purchase a used Corvette, they are great cars, but far from the scalpel I am after, the FR-S seems to deliver on that promise so far.

I know I know, the BRZ is not a drag car. I get it. Point being is that if you could add 205hp to the BRZ, and only lose 5 MPG on the highway, you would do it. |
