I know man, head is my main concern specially since its going to be my track toy. Im a tall guy 6'3 and would have to race the miata with an open top to fit with a helmet inside and it kinda sucks!! Plus yeah the new one is coming out soon. Is the BRZ going to be released earlier?

I don't know, with the fr-s fully optioned out the used XF might be a bargain. I could probably get one at around $31,000.

I know right haha. *weighs both in hand* uhhh, ummm, yeah I think I'd buy a rex especially since I live in CO, and the rex has a huge aftermarket following.

Just to play devil's advocate...The BRZ would have nicer interior than the WRX of the same price wouldn't it? Would that cover the price difference between the HP/turbocharger of the two?
