Autos the GT-86, BRZ, Fr-s can pose a challenge to
 
I didn't buy this to race, more for the fun of driving. However, I"ve been reading about others who are being constantly challenged at a stop lights. I just thought it would be interesting to know which vehicles the BRZ could in fact have a chance against so you don't look like a complete idiot. As of now, I will not back a way from the following vehichles who pose a challenge;

1. Honda fit
2. Toyota Yaris
3. School bus

Prius C is a beast.

Stop light drags? Really?

Well it depends , my friend raced his wrx against Frs... The wrx pulled away obviously but frs was right up his alley.
So it's up to par with a wrx.

I have plenty of assholes rev at me while at stop lights. That doesnt mean Im required to put others at risk by racing on the street.

I believe the outtro of a certain A Tribe Called Quest song can be applied to this topic:

"You're not any less of a man if you don't pull the trigger.
You're not necessarily a man if you do.

Add Ice Cream trucks and speed walkers to that list.

Unfortunately a 200hp car, even at 2750lbs does not challenge much in a straight line. I suggest you avoid wasting the gas.

Respectfully disagree, unless you are talking an older WRX that hasn't seen much love.

For a recent WRX, no way.

Let's user MotorTrend numbers for consistency:

Over a quarter mile:

WRX: ~13.5 @ 100
FRS: ~14.5 @ 96

That winds up with the WRX ahead by about 140 feet.

Even if you are just looking at, say, 0-60, the WRX is ahead by at least 80 feet, even if you are being really conservative with the WRX #s and generous with the BRZ/FRS numbers.
