I'm pretty sure, once again, that you're misreading what I'm writing. Someone ELSE said that any more power (in any car, his example was a 335i) was absolutely useless. I disagreed. I am of the opinion that it makes driving, especially driving in tight traffic at 75mph, which is what generally happens around here, much more convenient. All driving is about power under curve. And torque. And I would know. I drove a 300hp G35 for every day for three years, and a 400hp GTO every day for another two. I also drove an IS250AWD for a about seven months. 204hp, 3600lbs curb weight. That car was woefully underpowered.



I feel like you're all telling me that I'm wrong for saying Toyota and Subaru messed up on this car. They didn't. This car is perfect for what they designed it for. It doesn't make an LFA, an M5, an RRS Supercharged, a ZR1, or even an STI any less perfect for what they were designed for, or any less competent as street cars. All I'm saying is that more powerful cars are just as useful and the FR-S/BRZ is not the be all and end all of what you can drive on the street. I don't know why people keep reading that as "the FT86 needs moar power OMG!!!111!! LOLZZ SO SLOW."

Well said!
