Thanks!

The BRZ is part of my second childhood.

"Fast" and "slow" are subjective. If you come from a 3000 hp Evo the triplets are slow. If you come from a 60 hp Volvo they are fast. Are they fast enough? Depends on who you ask.
The cars are an inanimate object; they don't need anything.

I came from a 400HP 135i, I didn't find the BRZ to be EXCEPTIONALLY slow. It just wasn't nearly as fast in a straight line so I had to make up for it in the corners and under braking.

In my old Z every single day I drove it. But then again I live out of the area of local towns, so my roads are usually empty.

I think these arguments about fast/slow are amusing. I mean in modern terms it's pretty dang slow. Almost every sports or hell, sporty, car from the last ten years is as fast or faster. I think they're fast enough. I would love an extra 50hp. I think I would do the I/h/e and tune and be happy. The special thing about these cars is the feel. It feels exactly like what I wanted my car to feel like. It nails the fun connected go-kart feeling, and that's worth the price in a DD for me.
