Yeah I'm in the same boat on what I want to do.
apart of me doesn't want to let go of my evo. It's only stock, but I never asked for anything more. I'm not a power guy because I feel like I have good enough power. NA cars intrigue me so that's why the BRZ is so tempting. I'm almost done with my EVO payments which amazing because I might finally never have a car payment in a while. It's only got 45k miles which i only drive 10k per year so this car can last me years.
The only reason why the BRZ is even in my sights is because when I go go-kart, i love drifting the car and just power sliding through corners, it was so much fun everytime that I would be in chicago to see my family, i would have to go karting. If the BRZ can bring me that control and fun on some california back roads then, drift might be better than grip.
I get annoying people telling me about it being underpower. But it seems like doesn't need to match the 300hp of the a stock evo. Since its lighter, you only need like 250hp. I've read some great break throughs in ECUTEK + a good intake exhaust. It won't be as raw as the evo, but I know I won't be dull either.
It's also hard for a person who growing up and working hard through my career said at a young age "i will own an evo" and I have bought two. It was one of my dream cars (skyline gtr being the other) and It's hard for me to say goodbye. It's been a good friend. I'm battling my urges now but I love the feeling of a new car. The reason why the Evo was so great for me was I didn't need to mod it. I'm not a tuner type of guy and i always ask others to do it for me. It was a complete package, but I have to agree with some people on these boards, if I go WOT on the EVO, it will last all of 4 seconds.
