I was going to say 350z, now I'll say the first STI I really got to drive enough to get a feel for it...

Everyone was always like "oh wow, STI's are so fast!" and my normally aspirated Impreza was slow, but I always kept up with the big boys just fine. Finally getting to test drive an STI on my own and ring it out, I realized that the power wasn't anything more than the Forester turbo that I drove quite often (family car) and my GC Impreza was a much better platform for everything else.

Thats probably why I would up with the BRZ, because its the platform that I recognize as being the important aspect of the car and not the engine.
