heres what really happened,

The guy had just gone to 7-11 after having purchased the car, he was going to rob the place to cover the loss of the deposit. Pulling out a .45, he robbed it at gun point, ran back to the brand new frs, hopped in and sped off, but the 7-11 manager had called the cops.
The highway patrol was in quick pursuit, following closely for quite a distance as the driver became more and more eratic. Knowing there was but one option left, he barrelled down the highway toward a construction workers truck, which conveniantly had a plywood ramp resting on the truck bed. The driver of the frs hit the ramp dukes of hazard style only to land upside down and was arrested immediately. None of this actually happened, but if you stuck with the story this far, mad props to you!

Lol does it count that I've owned/built 2 wrx's and 2 sti's? And the only reason I drive a scion is because I couldn't find an available brz quick enough?

IMO the BRZ front bumper has a seamless lip kit in it, and that is why I love it.

It makes me wonder why most peole complain the car needs more power.

It looks to me like this car has too much power for many people. And flipping this vehicle is not easy. Even lifting the inside wheel is near impossible.

Perhaps the temptation to drive like a racer is too much for some people with this car. Obviously some of these people have no business doing so.

I just get it out of my system driving modded and tuned 285 BHP twins on Gran Turismo.

This car has too much power for people that can't drive for shit. I'm guessing that a good amount of owners have never driven a rear drive car before.

You can wreck a 100hp car or a 500hp car. Power wont glue your tires to the road.

The car still needs more low-RPM power either way
