I appreciate those of you with helpful feedback and welcoming me to the forum. Also, thanks for correcting on the oil capacity Reaper. I updated the original post to reflect that.

For the doubters, I'm 100% serious

.

This is my honest impression of the 2014 Subaru BRZ after test driving it via my local Subaru dealership and comparing it to the 2 cars I own and drive on a regular basis. I don't want to give up on the prospect of owning a BRZ sometime in the future, hence the reason I asked those 2 questions at the end of my initial post.

Sony, I like your recommendation about riding in a turbo brz / frs first to get a feeling of what this platform can really do. If I have time to hit my local Cars & Coffee this month, I'll give it a go. The real question is, what should I take to the meet: Turbo Forester or Turbo 2JZ Soarer?

dizzario, I don't mind posting a picture of my turbo 2jz modified "soarer," but not before I detail-clean and wax it first. Posting a dirty picture of it online feels...well...like sacrilege
