First - to make your car different than all the others on the road, all while costing less than the car you mentioned. I couldn't care less about a warranty. I've built plenty of engines for performance reasons, i know what i'm getting into and i know the risks and how to steer clear of them. It sounds like you don't dare to get your hands dirty.

Second - ground effects? ......really? It sounds like you are taking this rather personally. Throwing out infantile attacks like this make me lose respect for your stated opinions. Who says i'm even going to spend 10 grand in modifications? And why are you assuming i just HAVE to reach the coveted performance of the infamous WRX STi? I never compared this to any other car. Looks like you have your own performance insecurities. Leading up to my initial comment you've only complained about lacking engine performance - but now it seems like you're frantically throwing out other claims.. To answer your question, i can spend substantially less than 10 grand to get the engine performance I want out of this car, all while keeping it very reliable.

Third - "the engine choice is deeply flawed".... How so? The more i read your responses the less it seems you've ever had any experience in engine modification/tuning. In my opinion this engine is perfect. 86 mil bore and stroke with a very low center of gravity and direct injection with an extremely high compression ratio right out of the box? This is a tuner's dream for inexpensive performance potential! I've seen smaller, less sophisticated engines make well over 350 hp, reliably, i have no worries about bringing this engine up to par with my performance expectations.

In conclusion, Ash, it sounds to me like you're a kind of person who wants everything from the get go - and there's nothing wrong with that. Just don't forget that you have to pay extra for such luxuries. Ether way, you are talking shit to people on this forum because YOU are not happy with this cars' spec sheet. You obviously have never torn apart any engine on your own, and because of this you cringe at the thought of losing a manufacturer's warranty. All of that being said, here is my official response to you: quit being a bitch and either, A) learn how to work on engines, do your own work, and make a kick ass BRZ that will satisfy your own performance expectations, or B) shut the fuck up and buy another car.

This is what i was talking about as far as being rediculous goes....people like this will turn this car community to 1 of the hated 1's....think SRT4....
