It's obvious you're trying to elicit an emotional response from me, however such immaturity never positively contributes to a discussion. Since you have very few posts, I went a read your previous posts to get an idea who you are. You appear to be an angry individual with a narrow perspective and little tolerance for others with perspective wider or centered differently from yours. Your modded STI is the center of your universe and anyone claiming otherwise elicits a deep-seeded emotional reaction. This makes your presence on this forum rather ironic, as the BRZ's context is one of passion, not lap times.

Regarding your response to my comment, you are very distinctly confusing competition with enjoyment, fun from entertainment, and demographic consistency with negativity.

Boost threshold does not equal boost lag. Boost lag is what turns an engine from the fun connection of an n/a or supercharged engine to an entertaining show of latent power. They both have satisfaction, but for different reasons.

Your constant reference to competition is endearing, but those looking for individual fun make drag races and lap times irrelevant.

McLaren cars have always focused on being a clinical tool for the job; they do not emphasize emotional connection with their cars. This has been consistent since Ron Dennis has come on board. I have exceptional respect for him and his organization. At no time did I "trash" them, only point out their forte and focus and how that differs from the FT-86 and Ferrari road cars in general.

He's been too busy reporting me for calling him a r****d and trying to get me perma-banned, to learn that competition cars focus on being fast, not fun.
