It won't be a rocket ship but it won't be wheezing along either.

As much as I love Subaru/FHI, Honda holds a special place with me. When Subaru can ring out 8-9krpm daily, put 600hp thru their stock transmissions, while still being reliable and good on gas THEN be happy. They are great at AWD and turbo applications, credit is due there, but this standard version "BRZ" is a monstrosity in it's line up.
My car weighs a little less than the FRS and has 20 more power 30 more torque and I still think it's too slow for me. You can't be serious that people are complaining about nothing, because I sure am complaining. It could of at least been a 2.2L pushing like 223hp on the standard N/A models.
