This would make a great sticker

Good question, when I first started buying a BRZ I'd say I was excited, after the weeks of waiting for the dealership to bring me an AT Premium instead of the MT Limited I ordered, the headache of reordering elsewhere, the wait time x2... I'd say boost.

I loved the feeling of being the first owner (1st time new car,) and driving a vehicle nobody else had and that I'd only gushed over in magazines. After about a week the lack of power really became a kill joy.

Definitely the boost. Drove my car more than a year and these ten days with the turbo is retardedly awesome!

It's unbelievable how many people like turtles.

Mine was boosted at 1K, so both.

lexusb3 · 02-25-2014, 12:27 AM

Has anyone boosted gone back to the dealer and everyone's all like OMG lol

Khorne · 02-25-2014, 12:32 AM

I was more excited picking up the car tbh, that was mixed with nervousness as well since it had been a long time since i had driven a manual car.

I recorded my first pull with boost in the car and it's just my giggling like a school girl.

Was excited until I went on a freeway with it. Now it's exciting both on and off the freeway.

I often contemplate what it would be like stock...

Please don't. You'd be greatly disappointed haha.

So far we have established that turtles and turbochargers are equally exciting, and the car is not.
