I haven't tracked this car and wouldn't track the car at its current power levels, if I can drive the car at its limits on the street there is no point in taking it to the track. I did not buy this car to track it I have a car for that, but if I was to track it I sure as hell wouldn't track it in stock form its wouldn't be fun at all for myself.

Different strokes I guess.

That's the first time I have ever heard that..... Carry on.

Well the great power debate will never end. Obviously, faster cars exist. But I certainly wouldn't call this a slow vehicle. That being said, I do intend on improving upon the power it already has.

But don't get lost in that. There isn't a single video review where the guys driving it doesn't have a grin so big he's at risk of tearing his cheeks. This car is fun. There is a lot more into fun than just overall speed. I love the way it looks, and so do all the girls

Buy it because it's fun and you won't regret it. Buy it because you want to win drag events and you'll hate yourself every day.

Ah, so you're a street racer. My apologies, I didn't know. I appreciate that anything less than 500 kW won't be enough for you.

JS + BRZ · 05-12-2015, 07:09 PM

I find it hilarious when some people pay less than $30k for a RWD sportscar and cry about the lack of power. Did you not know what you getting into?

Stop crying, make more $, and get a M3 or Cayman GTS, if you want a sportscar with POWAR.

Coming from a 6 speed Tacoma, I'm pretty happy. Most certainly in the MPG department as I was probably averaging 13 mpg. Now I'm sitting low and I can zip around as I barely watch the tank go empty. Although, my Tacoma could probably destroy this car (FJ Cruiser engine), I'm still happy with the purchase I made. I pretty much stole this car from the used car dealer.

I'm a little surprised you weren't caught.

Captain Snooze · 05-12-2015, 09:31 PM

Addendum
1/ I understand that some people will find the power lacking. I really do. But just because you find the power lacking doesn't mean everyone else does.
2/ What gets me is when it is said the car lacks power. It produces 150kW at the crank. Whether it is enough for you is a different matter.The car doesn't care; it is an inanimate object.
3 / As @JS + BRZ mentioned above if you didn't know what you were buying why did you buy it?
4/ I like freshly squeezed orange juice.

Orange juice? You're completely foolish. You need cranberry.

You obviously haven't been drinking fruit juice for long. Sure, in a straight line cranberry juice is a little faster but in the corners orange juice flows far better. That's without ice but let's not go there.
