No way in hell I'm drinking a more expensive beer when there's better bang for your bucks out there.


I mean, I'll drink it... But I'm going to complain about it the whole time.

The thing is, if you aren't happy with the power output of this car....here's a suggestion.... DONT BUY IT!!!! I bought my BRZ because I thought it was beautiful, fun to drive and, in my area, not as common as any other cars. I have had my car for 2 years now, and I still have people who break neck to look at it. Granted, I do have some mods done, but still. Own your car, love your car or stop bitching about it and trade it in for a dodge or mustang. For serious.

Funwheeldrive was having a conversation and industrial decided to be a douche bag.

I see the words "srt4 is faster" I pounce. 14 years on nasioc will do that. You need to get over it. Everything will be ok!

And you need to drop your pretentious attitude.

Let me clarify that I am in no way defending the srt4.

Ahhhhhh damn it. I came over here to get away from the bickering in the FRS section. Must be something in the water lately.

Yeeeeep. Or how about the mazdaspeeds that pulled massive amounts of timing once heat soaked and made nowhere near the power stated unless it was a hero dyno pull with a dead cold engine and low ambient?


I like mazda, I really do, but this tactic of only giving the press the fully loaded cars was an obvious tactic to "beat" the twins in the press. Now let's see if STI's new commitment to the US market will shut them up.

Haven't been able to find pictures of it on the BRZ, but the one I saw for the 2016 FRS and the picture it showed on the stereo showed it to not be angled correctly as it's basically looking straight down
