Ummm...hyperbole much? No one is denying you that freedom here. You're absolutely free to drop a few stacks on FI if you want and so is everyone else if they choose to.

Last time I checked it wasn't up to some hick in a pickup truck to decide what speed I feel like traveling. Nobody's gonna scream bloody murder for me going 10 over (speed limit was 55). And me driving safely at 65 isn't nearly as reckless as that asshole trying to play chicken with me and possibly causing a head on collision.

As to the second comment, some of us actually get enjoyment from keeping a factory warranty on a brand new car.

And finally, to whomever said that a $30k turbocharged BRZ is impractical, and then referenced the WRX & WRX STI...do you even know much about both of those cars? Because the base WRX (which yes, is $10k cheaper than the STI) is not comparable to the STI. The Limited, or at the least Premium WRX is more comparable to the STI. Now you're only looking at a $5-7k price difference.

So let's say $32k for a turbocharged BRZ. Well I really only bought my BRZ b/c I desperately wanted HIDs. If Scion/Toyota released a FI edition 86 then I would just swap over to that, as it would no doubt be cheaper than the Subaru version. And FI > HIDs

I get that people love this affordable lightweight RWD sports car. But there wasn't much stopping people (that are satisfied with this level of performance) from buying a RX8 or a Miata. Meanwhile I'm more interested in a poor man's Cayman with performance that exceeds an S2000. That's my ideal scenario (I'm not saying I thought the car was this before I bought it)

(i really wish we could multi-quote.)
