Well I'm going to see a guy whose garage includes the mclaren this weekend and ours holds the 911 s and a BRZ. Bragging rights?

From what MT and Randy Pobst have said about the BRZ handling made so much sense. Most of the best handling cars is underpowered.

I won't be that disappointed when the STI model comes out in reference to choosing the "base" model. Based on the price of the current Impreza STI to get a limited I would need to add another 7K to the cost of the limited BRZ.

I'm having a blast with my car, and I don't know if the cost for extra power would increase my level of fun by a significant margin.

It seems if Mclaren scales back the computer to do less then MP4 would likely take this comparison test. It would also help if they change the name to something like "F2" or anything decent sounding.
