whoa.... careful there bud.. saying anything negative about the car is a risky move...

The people on this forum will generally go all crazy on you, label you a troll, preach how you must not appreciate a true sports car, imply that you have never been on a track, tell you that you are a drag racer, suggest that you would be happier with a Mustang or a Camaro (because if you want more power, you obviously want a large, heavy muscle car!) and immediately start stroking each other's egos to justify there planned purchase if you make note of any of the following:
  • 200hp is not a lot of hp
  • 151ft. lbs is really not a lot of torque
  • 2800lbs is not that light
  • 0-60 in 6.0+ is not quick
  • 25-28k is not cheap
  • Point out that the brz/fr-s is not going to be quick around any circuit.

oh... and use search... a lot...
