Not long ago I said the new 2013 Subaru BRZ was well… slow, and by looking at its performance numbers, it somewhat is. 0-60 mph comes up in 7.3 seconds and 1/4 mile shows up in 15.3. I did however mention that its 60-0 distance was respectable at 114-feet, as was its 69.9 mph slalom speed. Well, last week at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway I had a chance to flog the 2013 Subaru BRZ around the racetrack and let me just say that I was wrong – well, I was kinda’ wrong. You see the BRZ may not be the fastest car on the block but HOLY SHIT was it fun to drive. It’s high-speed turn in was great, it’s got great brakes, wonderful steering feel and even when equipped with the auto transmission and paddle shifters it delivered more track enjoyment than cars three times the price. In fact I was so blown away by this little bugger that I managed to wrangle myself two sessions in it.

The cars interior didn’t disappoint either. The buckets were firm and supportive and at 6’4″ and 240 lbs with a helmet on, I managed to fit in the BRZ with no problem. What needs to happen now (and I’m sure it will) is that we need to see an STI version. Seriously, if that car came equipped with another 100 hp, a nice set of Brembos and some bigger rubber Subaru would have one vicious little hot rod on their hands.

Is it just me or is Silver starting to look like a nice color now?

Just You...Silver looks like primer! I keep wondering what real color they're gonna paint it. :lol:

Lol, I've never seen a glossy primer.....

I think Silver looks better on the Limited. On the Premium it feels kinda fleet vehicle-esque to me. Just my opinion, please ignore it.

So basically the reviewer summed up what everyone else said. Glad to know I should be able to fit with a helmet on - that'll be a first!

I kinda agree with u. But the silver goes good with the black trim.

I always thought it looked great. I got it because it shows the lines of the car the best imo.

Eesh, the gang at Evo, Pistonheads, etc... don't have anything to worry about the folks at autoholics. Think it is a bit of a leap to call that a review. Oh well they got my page view I guess.

Interesting collection of cars in the background though.

My sig shows my opinion of silver.

0-60 7.3s. That number keeps popping up.
