The other cars WRX STI included are all excellent cars. But once you sit in the cockpit of the BRZ, you immediately realize it was designed to be a sports coupe. As compared to the others which are sporty versions of normal or economy cars. No disrespect, the others cars are amazing in their own right. Sticking with the BRZ for now. |

Guess I was a little bit. From my brief experiences driving this car, it's excellent out of the factory. You don't get the "shit this is fast" experience when you mash the pedal though. Which is fine. This is not a torque monster. And no, am not like Dominic Toretto's "live life quarter mile at a time" person. So yes, I see your point. I will drive it for some time before deciding FI. |

I took this driving course recently. It's called Audi Sports car experience at the Sonoma Raceway. It's a little expensive, but totally worth it. It was a fantastic learning experience. You guys should try it if you are in the area. I don't have a sports car YET to start autocross. Will get there. Until then, will keep doing such courses. |

Nissan Maxima intro. "300 HP and it is cold out....what could go wrong?!?" Probably nothing.... you're in a new maxima.... even with 300 HP its a CVT equipped Nissan Maxima.... |

Having "upgraded" from a lightly modified Wrx to the BRZ this month, I can honestly say I'm not missing the power.
I can take corners much faster in the BRZ even on stock tyres. It drives like a dream! |

You can take a look at the join date of 2012 and all the effort we put into helping this community. From DI, logging, working with tuners, oil temp research on and on. It's sharing an experience, nothing more. You want perfect experiences go to guys like TJ Hunt who get free stuff and everything done for him so he can advertise how great things are. This forum like most are run by vendors trying to sell sell sell. And the real world is not everything goes smooth. Take it for what its worth but we put more time and hours in here than plenty of the internet racers. Quote:
Spending hundreds of hours on a car will do that to you.

We don't get paid to do anything, we test cars and submit bug reports on infotainment, programming and other issues. How is that beast running now?

Shocker, at least the legacy continues!
Hopefully nothing major though.
