But if your looking for something like a daily driver it'll definitely keep a smile on your face.

Modding for the sake of nodding? Yes. But your already starting out with a platform that is reconciled as one of the best in the world. A platform that others modify in attempt to equal. Nodding for power? Plenum, throttle body, headers, filters and tune.... easily 8-8 grand for 35ish hp. 10k for a turbo from TPC is really the only option but then you’re in the 500 hp range. Not too different a costbto the brz. You can mod it; but is is more expensive as well as a lot less necessary.
Going to a Porsche? There is nothing like it. It is solid and free of rattles and the interior noise that is there is because it was engineered to be. The car just feels incredibly solid yet has performance of exotics. Porsche has always punched outside of its weight class in terms of a spec sheet. Now before someone posts some lap times of a la Ferrari.... it’s not THE fastest but holds its own just fine against a number of exotics- no certainly not all. It is a very special brand. Again you can buy 3 or 4 twins for similar money when new and the twins are very good but the best German engineering trumps anything out of Japan.
