well this thread isnt about the m3 or the mustang gt is it?

and please cheack that link out, the viper gained 1.1 seconds going from pretty good tires to awesome tires...
somewhere in your head you think the BRZ cant pick up over a second going from crappy tires to race spec tires then it would be about dead even with the mustang... then wheres your argument...
or how about do what the mustang did to the brz
225 sticky tires, new shocks and springs, stiffer sway bars
and then see if the brz doesnt post BETTER lap times than the mustang, and with a specially tuned suspension, bigger sway bars and sticky tires there isnt much room for modification on the mustang then to beat a BRZ, on small to medium tracks the brz will be faster than the mustang even though the mustang has a 11.51 power to weight vs the brz 13.74 thats a power gap of
2.23 and the mustang still isnt any faster, the brz got the handling down good, infact its better than about 90% of the cars on the road today, most of those cars break the 80,000 price point....

ohh yeah and a review team thought the brz felt better handling wise than a GTR, it doesnt actually handle better but it puts a bigger grin on the drivers face than the GTR and not many cars can say that...

edit if you click that link, the 190 hp elise beat the 400 hp corvette, theres a few car companies that understand handling is just as important or more important than hp numbers...

ohh yeah and there are 53 cars that are better than the 5.0L mustang that includes the lexus ISF you know that sports sedan made by toyota.. lol stop being a fan boy we KNOW the BRZ/FRS/GT86 is slow, we also know that live axel sucks too :P
