This is true, the BRZ's performance is nothing remarkable. But you have to understand that the super cars are tough to enjoy outside of a race track. I went most of my life not understanding this. I since made friend's with a wealthy guy that has since I've known him owned just about every car I could wish for and I've gotten to drive them all. About a year ago, he got the most impressive car I've ever driven, a 458. He wanted me to push it hard to show him what it could do. In the end, short of very exciting illegal bursts of speed, you just can't really get thrills in it without a serious risk of criminal charges, super expensive repairs, and expensive wear and tear on the car
Now the BRZ is far less scary to drive, not just because it does any thing better than mileage compared to the Ferrari, but simply it can be slid around comfortably at 30mph while never feeling like you are threatening the car. That doesn't mean the FRS is a better car, but it does mean you get to enjoy the driving aspect a lot more in day to day driving. I'd love to own the Ferrari but sadly I doubt I'll ever be able to afford to own one (not just buying one is out of reach, but ownership is far more expensive). So cars like the 991 and BRZ are more likely for most of us, just a question of how new they are. I hope to get to drive a 991 later this year as an instructor.
