No one should be looked down on for what they purchase and drive. You don't think someone that drives an Alfa, Aston, or Porsche - is a better person than you, do you? When I was 19 - I had my first Porsche (944 turbo S) I thought it was one of the best cars made, and everything underneath of it was crap. It took a few years to grow up from that mindset - 16 years later - I feel like I have grown up a lot, and I still love cars. But I am a heck of a lot easier on the "younger" crowd. Because that was me. I was there...

Enthusiasts come in all shapes and sizes, backgrounds, education levels, and financial ability. The dude breaking his neck to pay for his M3, might not have a place to live next week. So don't judge others just because today you are in a sweet spot.

But who am I - I like EV's, cheap eco cars (I dearly miss my TRD spec'd out yaris for the 45mpg I could get), I like bikes, roadsters, old cars, antique cars, exotics. I feel like we live in an amazing automotive time - and I can appreciate ALL the cars that lead up to where we are today (be it really good cars, or bad cars) - but those bad cars - are what got us to the good and great cars of today. Without the V6 fleet - the V8's might never have made it.

And seriously - I don't mean any of that negatively towards you. I bet your younger (I am mid 30's) and I'd prefer to make friends, and not fight/argue.
What can I say? Im a prick.

Black guy? you mean Marley? Also pretty sure PackofCrows has a schlong, my profile pic on a lot of things is a brz or my old is300, do people think I'm actually a sentient car?

I just sold my 2014 Mustang V6 for the BRZ. The Mustang certainly had more balls in a straight line, but other than that, it was uninspiring. I've had more fun in the BRZ in the 3 months I've had it than I ever did in the Mustang. Don't get me wrong, the Mustang was a good overall car, but not nearly as fun to drive.

My friend just bought a 2014 Mustang GT and i will say that the rear seats are slightly bigger but nothing crazy. The power is nice but since its heavy it doesn't feel fast.( I assume its the same with the camaro) I would honestly recommend not going through the hassle of trading your car in and add a good supercharger to your twin

Well having owned a 5th gen SS, I can tell you that it most definitely does feel fast because of the torque of the LS3 engine even with the weight. With coilovers and new tires, the car handles surprisingly well for what it is. However, it is because of this weight that the car feels a bit numb and much less flickable.

I feel like the LS motor suits a "heavy" car because of that torque, definitely feels faster than a 5.0 to me (no hate). Different strokes for different folks (I would kill for a Camaro 1LE though)

The LS3 does have more torque than the coyote. But to be completely honest, the car was just too big in physical size and you felt the presence of it. That is one of the beauty of the 86 and S2000 platform. The car just...reacts...it's precise...it is almost as if it reads your mind. You point it where you want it to go and it does. It's hard to explain to the average person but I'm sure most members here get it.
