I love the rush of acceleration, and even in the highly-urbanized areas of Okinawa my crankwalking Evo IV still delivers daily driven stoplight-to-stoplight. It's only about 200lbs heavier than the BRZ but theoretically packs ~30% more power (even more once I drop this new engine in with Evo VI turbo). I'm not in a position to buy a brand new BRZ solely for enjoying the twisties (which this island has plenty of) without selling my stateside Evo X MR, and right now @ 200hp and 6.4sec 0-60 for the BRZ that would be a huge downgrade, not an upgrade.

Side Bar: Inside The line said 7.3 seconds. They tried to blame it on the Rev Limiter being met at 59mph. I wouldn't think that you would want to redline the car for the most optimal 0-60. You'd want to stay in the power band. I wish we could get a video of inside the car for the 7.3 second 0-60.
