I'll tell you what. You go get a $45K brand new Shelby GT350 for $45,000 and I will buy it off you for $50,000. You can make and Easy $5,000 just for flipping it. In fact buy two and I will pay $50,000 for each.

The only thing that gives me hope is that some early drives resulted in comments that BMW had returned to form for the 'ultimate driving machine', BMW can build a fun car, hell Toyota managed to cough up the money for one so I have decent hopes.

Why is this thread in the Subaru section? The only parts this will share with a BRZ is interior switchgear.

Get ready for torx screws errywhere btw, wheel bolts, plastic oil filter housings, and lots of beautifully formed heat/nvh shielding. Does anyone know if Toyota convinced BMW to buck their trend and ditch Mac-Strut or are we stuck with another camber challenged pig?

Oh and 5x112 wheels

It should put to rest a pile of misconceptions and myths.

That's you in a year or two when you encounter a Supra while driving a Mustang.

We all love our BRZ's here....


But go drive a GT350. It's not your normal Mustang. Make sure to drive any other Mustang, such as a GT, after driving the GT350. And drive the GT350 like you stole it, once it warms up, of course.


I would, without question, take a GT350 over the new Supra, which I quite like aside from having no manual. And I'm not even really into Mustangs.

A new Mustang was parked next to me yesterday. That thing is just too F'n big. I've been at my private skid pad all day today and am having a blast in the 86. Little car is amazing in many ways. Interested in the Supra track reviews.

This guy had BRZ and now he has Shelby. I watched this video and I liked it, not that I am going to buy Mustang though. I really, really like my BRZ. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HKs9Y1Ihuo[/ame]

Must be really annoying following this guy in traffic his foot is always on the brake pedal for no good reason like your typical automatic drivers. Does he not know how to heel and toe lmao!

Get ready for it... at least there will be a plethora of >18" options to steal from M cars and Audi's.
