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.
I had an Evo 8 and got used to the power. Just keep in mind you can never have enough power, you'll always want more doesn't matter how much you've got.
