I sold the BRZ. I was done with it and ready for something else. It was up to 26k miles which I put on in a year, and I wanted to sell it before it got over 30k miles. The M3 has come, I just haven't made a website for it yet to put in my sig:

This is right on. The disco potato and the 2871/gtx2863/2867 are more than plenty. Until you break free of 350whp, the better spool and efficiency of the t25 series are perfectly mated to the 2.0l. Not that the 30's don't pack a punch, but most of that extra power is wasted until you beef up the motor/trans.

I suppose thats true. I can guarantee that I'm never going to take the car to the strip ever. Maybe the track a few times a year, but nothing more than that
