Nice video! Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to produce?

I almost bought a Cayman S before the BRZ. I also recently sold my e46 M3 and love the BRZ in it's place.

Great video! I think you are spot on with your comparisons.

Great Video! Do you keep rev's 5+ when just daily cruising? If so do you have a exhaust system? I like to keep the rev's up as well...I just feel like it bring some attention to me but I just enjoy having the rev's high so much even when just cruising.

Great video. I've owned an M3 and Exige. No regrets.

The other thing that I love about the twins is that they look like a mini LF-A. Were they each missing a wheel? lol |

It took me one whole morning to shoot the rolling sequences. Then another two afternoons to shoot the interview and the detail shots. Editing took a while. Maybe 5 or 6 hours over two evenings? Quote:

Weight my friend, weight. I am fairly certain my BRZ is now at a point where it would be right there with my Cayman R in every performance aspect.

While the mid engine and weight balance is nice. I never felt that the engine was anything special. Feels like it is being held back as to not compete with the newer beetles.

A Cayman S only weighs around 200lbs more than a BRZ, and has a superior drivetrain layout. And we're talking about STOCK vehicles. So please, let's not beat that dead horse again.
And you think the engine is nothing special? It has a higher redline than the FA20, no power dip anywhere, and the exhaust note sings like an angel up high. Meanwhile the FA20 sounds like a crappy 4 cylinder.

You asked for a single parameter where it comes close. The BRZ doesn't just come close, it beats even a Cayman R in weight difference by a considerable amount.
