370z's aggressive gearing?!!!!

I got rid of that car after 1 year of owning it, it always felt like 50 horses where DEAD due to the bad gearing on that car.
My friends stage 1 GTI would keep up right next to me on a straight line.
that's pretty sad for a car with 330hp and the same weight.

I think this is great news! Good job Subaru :P

Disappointed but somewhat relieved. Disappointed the BRZ won't get more power. Relieved because I don't have to consider spending thousands more for a turbo version & creeping into larger displacement FR sports car territory.

Everyone is happy. Look under my name I'm El Presidente and I have spoken. LOL

Make the line up like the followings:
BRZ = stock Cayman
BRZ convertible = stock Boxster
BRZ STI with larger displacement 2.4 N/A motor = Cayman R

WRX with the new 2.0 FA turbo = Carrera 4s
WRX STI 2.5 turbo =911 turbo

thats a problem for the people who like the fr-s look better. D:
