First of all, I love the BRZ! I'm not going to sell the car, nor upset at all
Its funny, I always heard on here about how minivans and soccer mom vehicles were faster than the BRZ. I would always think people saying it were silly, no way a 3500+lb family hauler with no hp would be faster at a red light..
Then at a red light earlier tonight, i actually had it happen to me!!! It was a Nissan rouge..
We were in a 3 lane street, with me being on the far left, and the rouge on my left. Cars are usually parked on the left side, but it was empty tonight so he was there. I assumed the rouge wanted to make a left turn at the red light we were waiting on, to the one way street on our left. As soon as the light goes green and he went straight I realized he was on the parking lane just trying to pass traffic, I normally don't care, but figured why not just get infront of him since I was already accelerating kind of fast and thought he was a jerk for driving on the parking lane. I went wot, shift into 2nd around 6k, keep wot...we are neck and neck! After about 4 seconds of my car screaming and his barely heard, I backed off and let him get infront of me.
My car has full bolt ons with 35whp added. While I know I didnt launch the car, I think this was embarrassing for the BRZ, haha. I found it so funny it finally happened to me, what everyone always joked about.
