Perception is part of what makes this car fun! It feels fast, because of the low limits of the tires. It's got short gearing, and the intake sound in the cabin makes this little car feel fast. I loved racing on the track. There's little doubt my previous projects were much faster, but the BRZ feels amazing on the track. It feels quick.

How many of us are going to be racing competitively? Having a car that feels fast, but isn't, will reduce speeding tickets. I know. The majority of us will take perception over reality any day. Perception is more fun anyway.
