The stats that you posted are a bit strange... there is no such thing as a 2007 BRZ and you mentioned your 400hp V8 M3 but then post stats for a 1988 4 cylinder M3 with 192hp?

sorry was supposed to be a 2017 BRZ, that was a typo, I corrected my original post, thanks for the good catch.
I posted that I owned the V8 M3 which is 414hp but that's more of a Mustang (size/weight car). I wanted to post the the figures of the earliest M3 which was quite a trick 30 years ago and is thought of as a great performance car (when looked at the time it came out). But that's just why I posted that car 2800 lbs weight with a 4 cylinder high revving engine. If a BRZ was released 30 years ago it would have been quite a marvel. Plus a 1988 M3 costing $34K would be similar to $70K in todays money BRZ seems quite a bargain.
The truth would be the BRZ compares well to the early M3 power and weight but the latest M3s with double the power and 700 lbs more weight have grown in every dimension.
