Umm... I'm not sure I'd want that in my car.

I mean its all academic anyway because we are getting what we get, but I would also guess that when making a low cost performance car like this, the benefits of sticking to a single 'spec' of engine design (the FA2xD) are more than just cost of the bill of parts and the weight of those parts. Keeping it same-same means they are probably able to really hone in on little details in the chassis and retain some of the minute learnings gained from the existing model to a greater extent than they would be able to if they moved to FI. |

First, where is Tcoat to chime in here? Seems odd that someone who averages 26 posts per day has been silent for over a month. I hope he is OK.
Second, to continue with Jason’s mental-exercise comparison of the 228 hp NA BRZ to a hypothetical 260hp turbo version, I might argue the difference is large. Consider the following: The 2.0 Supra weighs 3,179 pounds with 255 hp and does the quarter mile in 13.3s at 104 mph with an 8A. We all know BMW underrates their engines and turbos prefer automatics. But even if a turbo BRZ weighs an extra 120 pounds, it would still weigh about 240 pounds less than the Supra with five more HP and should therefore be at least as fast. What’s a reasonable guess at how fast the 228hp NA 2.4 BRZ will be in the quarter mile…99 mph? Maybe even 100 mph? Compared to 104+, that’s still a big difference. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...y-the-numbers/ |

He's just taking a sabbatical. No worries. I do miss him here but I get it.

Its going to be very interesting comparing these cars, being that they are so similar in that way. |

To add, I am in the market for new car right now and the 2022 BRZ is at the top of my list. But the Supra is not even on my radar – no MT. However the RWD BMW 230i Coupe 6MT would probably be my next choice. Comparing a 6MT Twin to a 6MT 230i would be far more interesting and helpful to me.

$1,000 says I'll let my motor decide its own fate, were that to be the case.

IMO I think its going to be quite a ways away from the experience of the brz, but definitely will be interesting to get some test drives. It is a LOT nicer inside too, which is where those extra dollars go I assume. |
