You are questioning the handling of a 460 hp 3298 lb iconic sports car? Few hundred lbs more than a BRZ and more than double the hp. Come on. I love the BRZ and it's one of my favorite cars, but I also know what is reasonable.

If it weights 3,298 lbs, then it is a bit better. However, it is still a big difference. I am not questioning Corvette specifically, but all the modern cars that pretend to be sports cars and they are so heavy. Whatever is heavier or close to the the 3,300 lbs limit is heavy for me. You can also check the track width of the car and you'll not find a great difference. I am not saying that it is not much faster, but it is because of the raw power. Not because of the handling. Of course, many people can't get rid the ego thing and want something that wins street races. If you think the latter is important, then yes the BRZ is not for you.
