I tried to push for a crossover, but my wife wanted an Odyssey with all the bells and whistles. There is also a lot of room for road trips..

And hey, I got my BRZ In fact she is out driving it right now....

Oh yeah I hate it when people hit car doors, luckily my BRZ hasn't been hit that I know of. No damage of any kind on my doors, I'm very protective of my cars.

I'm going to troll and offer to do a side by side photoshoot and comparison in as many categories as possible when I get to NC

AIM Solo DL in our case... does that count?

At Charlotte Motor Speedway (oval + infield) the highest I could get in my S2000 was 128-130. That was topping out in 5th...if I had a few more rpm to work with (instead of needing to shift to 6th) i prob could have gotten a few more mph...but that's a pretty fast track (1 1/2 mile oval).

I'm going to *assume* that Auto Club Speedway is somewhat similar to CMS. The S2k generally enters the banking of T1/2 at ~130. So does the BRZ... with less power and a lower exit speed onto the front straight. The lower Cd helps a ton up top.

GPS @ 10hz

Well, now gen coupe owners think we are immature pretentious pricks.

How? I was actually quite careful with wording, seemingly well received and am setting up comparison tests with some guys. Also setting up to start building rear diffusers for the GC.

Did you even read any of the posts or are you just assuming I went in like an asshole? I've been in car communities for my entire life, I know how to cross in between them.

to be fair it did mellow out but I read a page or 2 where people were getting pissed

They were pretty pissed at the switchlanez guy, I got stuck in the middle... Haha, whoever that guy is, he's a terrible representative of the community.

Yeah, I don't think you are going to enlighten or change anyone's mind. I owned a Gencoupe and tried having an intelligent discourse about the cars there and a mod there started getting very defensive/hostile so I just left.

The funniest part was the mod kept telling me how overhyped the BRZ was, and he finally admitted he never even drove one...

[Wonderbar]

So far, they can't seem to decide which parts of their motors break first. The only argument they are winning is that stock vs stock, they are faster.

Not bad guys, just biased and bought the car based around being stanced dyno queens. Most of the GC guys I know up here in the pacnw came from civics or other shitty fwd tuner cars. So it makes sense, I assume most of the customer base is the same thing.

I'm not trying to be a **** over there, more trying to just hang out and balance some of switch'z trash talk. Haha.

Also trying to expand my rear diffuser production but I don't think there is enough performance knowledge there to provide a big enough demand for it. I might be able to sell 5-10 tops.

That's most of the people on this forum too...it's just the car scene as a whole when you're talking about people under 40.

It's funny how so many people think more power equals a better cars. This has 800hp and was a steaming low quality pile of shit, yet it was gorgeous to look at. It wasn't good for anything but looking.

Why is switchlanez fighting with those Genesis Coupe people on their own forum, wtf is the point. I like the Gen Coupe V6 as well but I don't seen the point in having a car like that unless it has the best options. My BRZ is definitely a cooler car though, it has secret potential.
