I do love me some MP4-12C. :wub:

But I'm gonna guess the BRZ comes in the top 5 with either a Mustang or Camaro in the bottom 3.

Look at that pics... mustang and camaro are the weakest link. imo :)

Another extremely subjective comparison... expect Porsche and BRZ to vie for 1st and 2nd.

The last time I read a 'Best Driver's Car' comparison, the Miata came out ahead of all the Porsches and supercars. It's based on how it treats the driver, not how fast it goes. So the BRZ has a shot.

- actually now that I think about it, the Boxter may have finished first and the Miata second.

Looking at that group, it almost seems like an easy win for the BRZ in my opinion...

Now if you are looking for the best track day car or the fastest car it might be a different story. That's a really odd grouping. Basically a bunch of muscle cars, supercars and 1 basic sports car. I'm surprised any contest like this wouldn't include a cayman or boxter or miata or elise.

Don't get me wrong, I'll take an Aventador over a BRZ if I had that kind of money but it'd be more to just drive a balla ass car than to have a "driver's car" per se. I'd have an exige in the garage for days I really want to drive. :D

excited to see this turn out! and those comments on the article are f'in hilarious.

Its true though that the BRZ is the wrench thrown into the machine, and this is a competition of this years performance driver cars.

My prediction is BRZ might come in the middle of the pack, but we will be surprised this year with the leader outcome. With the highest performance cars coming in the bottom of the list.

There are no performance models or new models this year for the '12 Miata and Elise, so they are not including it.

Its more likely to have the Miata and Eilse come in next year when they are released because both cars are getting major overhauls for MY13-MY14

One of my stepmom's family friends just picked up a McLaren and I'm trying to figure out the best way to say GIVE ME A RIDE while still taking into account that I don't know him that well. That being said, I'd be perfectly happy with a ride in one of his 8-9 other incredible cars.

The problem with the MP4-12C is that is sounds like crap compared to other Ferrari, Lambos and LFA...but it is still a bad assed car. I guess it just needs a proper exhaust...

As "industrial" stated a "very odd grouping".

its going to win. nuff said

I have a feeling the Shelby might win...because its such a huge different from last years Mustang Shelby, i only hear great things about the new Shelby.

Well it IS the "Best Driver's Car" comparison ...not "Fastest Around a Track" or Coolest Sounding" or "OMG Dream Car". A driver's car doesn't need insane power or fancy technology. I think the BRZ/FRS has just as much relevance in this group, under these circumstances, as it does being compared to the RX8, MX5, S2000, etc.

Pretty sad that for the average joe there is probably only one "drivers car" to choose from.

On that list I think the BRZ may win or take 2nd. Other than the porsche I'd hardly think any of the others are "drivers" cars.
