My first fun drive, I went through 2 speed traps without getting pulled over.
If I had gotten the Mustang Mach 1, which I almost got instead, I would have already been in danger of losing my license.
It's just dumb to buy cars that the fun zone is so far past the legal driving limit for street driving. Yet revewers keep pushing for speed/horsepower wars.
BRZ/86 breaks that cycle. And I LOVE them both!

So on point. I have to keep reminding myself of this every time my thoughts wander over to that new Nissan Z. I just wish Toyota and Subaru could have made the new twins sound better - I accept that would require some video-game tricks, but the ones they did use make it sound pretty awful IMO. (I doubt an aftermarket exhaust will really fix the in-cabin sound without being obnoxiously loud.)
Also I deeply regret that Toyota didn't bring its auto rev-matching tech to the MT car. What a missed opportunity to expand the MT's appeal.
