It's like they say, there's no replacement for displacement. I'll take a huge V8 anyday.

Especially because I can pick up an 01-02 C5 Z06 for only 18k roughly. If you're looking at raw power for cheap, it's one of the best options if you're ok with buying used.

Before I tested drove a BRZ, I was looking into a used 350z. I used to belong to the school of thought where buying a new car is an absolute horrible financial decision. Still do actually, but after I test drove a twin, I didn't care how bad of a decision it was and purchased one within 2 weeks. Would've probably bought one sooner if I wasn't traveling right after I test drove the twins

Either in a 2015 WRX or in a 99 Integra DB8 still.

the 2015 WRX wouldn't be the same vehicle w/o the twins

As far as me, I'd probably be in a Z.

If the twins didnt exist... I'd still be in my '08 Mazdaspeed3 and contemplating a new WRX. No regrets. I'm never selling my FR-S.

Glad to see so many people so happy about getting their twins!!

Weird to see some people sound disappointed with their decision.

Guess this thread would have been better with a poll of satisfaction or something
