I was thinking about this recently. I am enjoying my BRZ a ton. However, my eyes are wandering to a Lotus more and more. I decided that I have created a nearly perfect sporty daily driver with my BRZ (Turbo/Flex/etc 365WHP) and I will not get rid of it. I always keep a Jeep Wrangler. I will now keep this BRZ for the foreseeable future. And - I will put a Lotus beside the two. I think that is a really nice trio of vehicles and fills most of the desires I have. Maybe a Caterham SP300R as a track only ride if I move next to a track. And - you know a Bentley flying spur. The cool thing about the BRZ is it can fill that niche for the Lotus and let me consider the Spur. What can I say - I like cars and get attached to them. Just need a bigger garage which is in my plans for the next house and is actually an outbuilding on its own - instead of horses - autos
I could not be happier with how my BRZ has turned out and it still has lots of potential. It is just really happy with E85 at the HP it is putting out right now. Any more and I have to deal with the tranny. Also - even running 17x9 Hankook Ventus RS3s - I have to watch that back end when the boost hits hard. The car is light back there and going to 400+ HP I feel would be too much without a widebody kit and some larger tires. Then - I feel like most of the initial characteristics that make the car fun would be gone. I think 350-380HP is an awesomely fun configuration for a DD.
Anyway - just thinking out-loud. It was a good question
