On-Topic, that was great review. I was drooling seeing him driving FRS/GT86

Fly to CA and I'll have Frank let you test drive a BRZ! lol

Edit - watched again (well, for the 4th time) - exhaust sound is definitely from inside. Sounds great I think.

Compare the sound with a Honda S2000 or some other naughty 4 Cylinder. The 86 does not sound boring but it sounds very mature.

But this is okay in my opinion because the 86 is no track car, it's a every day car for the public road and a too loud exhaust might be a no go for some buyers.

This car sounds awesome in the video...in my opinion the best sounding 86 video I have heard so far....I want this car! And it looks like he was drifting with out using the hard brake....

This car is going to be so much fun....

I thought the exhaust note was pretty good. And didn't Yamaha tune it ti make it sound better too?

That's debatable, some say Yamaha tuned it some say no. I am not sure who tuned the sound but I think it sounds good in the cabin. Not buzzy, just mature and clean!

The only numbers I'm interested in are my lap times... everything else is marketing BS.

I don't think this car is for you man. All the reviews have stated that it's not a fast car, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed.

I confused here

you want a "real review" but those are about numbers?

The numbers will disappoint you I'm sure but this car isn't about numbers at all in fact its against being about numbers

I will be my own reviewer of this car. Chris is the man and all but he doesn't make me feel confident about buying. My time behind the wheel will.

This car is not about numbers, it's about what's not on paper. If you worry about 0-60, 60-0, how many gs it pulls, how fast it goes through the slalom then you might be interested in something else.
