350Z to 370Z to EVO X that was modded heavy for track to the BRZ. the step down in power is of course noticeable. But the handling and response is spot on. its not cumbersome feeling like my EVO. and quicker to point and shoot then the Z. I love my Z and saying that the BZ has a lot more to offer. I love the limited interior, HIDs etc... but I also gain a trunk twice the size of the EVO's trunk and still have two rear seats that i can use for my kids if I need to. and it looks great, plus the wife loves driving it over the EVO. Oh and plus getting 36 MPG on high way.... can't compare that to anything cough cough EVO 15.7 average cough cough.
so win win win all around. It will soon be headed towards 400WHP and all suspension and brake mods to make it my soon to be favorite track car.
