This is not the car for you. Get a used Dodge Charger.. Oh, and don't forget to boost it...

Cost savings because two less spark plugs? 40$ every 8 years is a cost savings?

Oil capacity? My turbo frs holds 8quarts. Thats more than a 2jz or a 1uzfe.

Summary: OP wants a new BMW M3 for the price of a thrashed Miata.

This is OP's only post? The trolling is strong... I can't believe you guys are bothering with serious replies.

Ok after reading this thread I have decided I must sell my FRS for a Forester. But before I do, I must know this: Does it have TPMS like a true drivers car?

GOD NO! If OP is complaining of a sloppy transmission, he'll absolutely hate the M3 stick shift... my god does it suck...

Who in North America calls a Lexus SC400 a Toyota Soarer? Is that supposed to make the OP more legitimate because he comes up with the JDM name for a car?

I appreciate those of you with helpful feedback and welcoming me to the forum. Also, thanks for correcting on the oil capacity Reaper. I updated the original post to reflect that.

For the doubters, I'm 100% serious :).

This is my honest impression of the 2014 Subaru BRZ after test driving it via my local Subaru dealership and comparing it to the 2 cars I own and drive on a regular basis. I don't want to give up on the prospect of owning a BRZ sometime in the future, hence the reason I asked those 2 questions at the end of my initial post.

Sony, I like your recommendation about riding in a turbo brz / frs first to get a feeling of what this platform can really do. If I have time to hit my local Cars & Coffee this month, I'll give it a go. The real question is, what should I take to the meet: Turbo Forester or Turbo 2JZ Soarer?

dizzario, I don't mind posting a picture of my turbo 2jz modified "soarer," but not before I detail-clean and wax it first. Posting a dirty picture of it online feels...well...like sacrilege ;).

You will never post the picture or dyno sheet because it doesn't exist. If it did exist, you would already have pictures of this car.

If you do post a pic...I want a custard pie sitting on the hood so we know its yours.

I think you should sell your "Soarer" for a "Monte Carlo". Or as they call it in Japan, "The Kid Rock-mobile"

The reason for so many doubters is that you came across a little harsh for your first posting. Even your title smells of troll by insulting the car's worth. Unless you are using the tactic of ask a question - get zero responses, post something blatantly wrong - have a swarm of responses correcting you.

dizzario 09-01-2014 01:05 PM

@iBoost...as you can see the community is full of, well, you get the idea.


Oh and don't you dare have an opinion about this car that isn't praise. As you can see you'll be blacklisted.
