Have you driven anything running high boost (30+ psi) and significant intercooling before? It's not about how quick you shift. Pressure has to be rebuilt. Alternatively, you can just live with destroying turbos regularly and/or blowing off charge pipes (and by default losing the pull).

I'd guess the BRZ would need to be north of 600whp with a corresponding transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles, along with drag radials, just to be even with the Supra. Even then, those would be very abusive shifts, anti-lag, etc. |

2. The Supra is a better value, even at more than 2x the price, if and only if you plan on modding it. 600+hp with less than $2000 put in is very real with the Supra. |

600HP sounds great. Cruising at 60 then drop the hammer. How long until the boost kicks in, yo? How long until the acceleration hits hard? A second? Downshift, revs build, boost builds, then blam?

I also have rolling launch, so I have full boost without accelerating, and can launch with zero spoolup time. |

The only CARB legal power is stock. However, you can make maybe 20hp less on a stock cat compared to catless... and still pull on a C6Z with ease.

Would the stock exhaust system (with cat deleted ) of the brz affect much in terms of both performance and reliability standpoint?

Stock top gear 50 to 70 is 2.8 seconds. Model y is 2 seconds. Do mods knock a half second off that, or is it a lot of shift time?
