The vast majority of the people I have talked too have no idea about cars and if two hundred is good bad or even relevant. So when I talk to them and they ask I just say "it is only 200 but it is RWD" smile and nod knowingly. Most of the time they just go "ahhhhh" and also nod knowingly. I then know exactly how much they really understand about cars. It is sort of fun you should try it sometime.

I've just gone to saying "It has the same power as my Mustang, but is lighter and handles better". They go, "Hmmm, that's not bad!"

What I don't tell them is that "my Mustang" is MomHawk's '05 V6 Convertible.

Friends keep saying, oh you HAVE to boost it. I just say, drive one and then tell me you didn't smile.

I'm holding out for the stage-7 tune. Feels about right.

Ive had my BRZ over 2 years now. I love it more every day. Stock power does just fine on the twisties.

Have to laugh at the GTi comments. Guy I work with just got one, love it and considers the twins to be a hairdressers car. Little does he know.

Whatever stage of Initial D is in, is the stage you should aspire to.

LaFerrari, 918, and Veneno owner here. I must say, the 86 is the car i choose to drive everyday. Its just a true driver oriented machine.

Lol, but as far as I'm concerned the 86 is just about the best damn car I can own considering my age/education/income. It fits me just great so I am content :)

I would totally agree with the OP. I've loved my FR-S and I'm going to be super sad when I give it up because I'll miss it. It's such a fun car to drive plus my hot lava got all of the attention:party0030:
