I have my heavy ass Supra with 550hp for that....

Don't forget the BRZ is a boat too when compared it to Miata

4.8 second 0-60 in a RWD car that weighs almost 3,400 pounds with only 274 hp?

Really. Exactly where did you get that ridiculous number?

If your in that big of a rush then go out and get the GC. But I suspect every time you see a BRZ or FR-S on the road you'll think of what could have been. After sitting in the BRZ I'm hooked and if I have to wait then so be it.

2.0L 274 hp, 275 lb-ft turbocharged I4
RWD
3,362 lb
0 - 60 MPH: 4.8 sec
Fuel economy 24 MPG
LED headlights and taillights.


Guess what car is it? Genesis coupe 2.0.

If the BRZ price come sooner I may not have more second thought but after putting down my deposit and waited so long, it's giving me a lot of 2nd thoughts.
What is wrong with your 370z? IMHO 370z >>>> Hyundai

Also new for 2013, outrageous fake hood vents and wacko styling.

Y on earth would you go from a 370z to the 2.0T GC.
