So yes the car had an amazing suspension and was fun to drive... for about 2 months of ownership. And then I got bored with its slowness.
I've driven several Corvettes as well, including 2 Z06's, and would own one if it fit my current lifestyle. I can't even imagine wanting to own one if it had a lousy 200hp engine. You can use the suspension and weight argument all you want, but if you think a 3,400 pound corvette with 405hp is NOT fun to drive well than you're just oblivious.

Nobody is going to say the Z06 isn't a nice car. This is meant to be a different kind of car. Not one about absolute power. Rather, it is about the driver experience and being connected to the road. Not to mention the fact that tires and parts are more expensive to replace on a Z06 than this car. The limit of the BRZ is going to be much easier to approach vs. the Z06 that isn't approachable by most drivers.
