Any help of experiences would be great. I have a set of General Altimax snow tires for the WRX I could use on the BRZ so I'm covered on that front. Anyone miss the power of their previous cars, or do you just have to learn the powerband for the BRZ? I've test driven the BRZ and FRS on a couple of occasions and it feels a little underpowered(I know, I know...). I just can't get the sharpness/steering feel of the BRZ out of my head.

I've never been stuck anywhere. I've done better in the FRS on snows than on my front drivers with all seasons. It's a little slow getting started but once you're moving, no worries.
It's always nice to have a little more power, but the car rarely feels underpowered. If anything, the torque dip is the main issue. I took care of that with a UEL header so at least there are options.
