Did you literally not read anything I wrote? I just said there are people who value things OTHER than the raw numbers, and your reply was to just state more numbers.

Allow me to draw a comparison to help you understand. Did you know that a Range Rover Sport SVR is faster than your Cobalt SS to 60 MPH. And also faster…

And I guess you like fast cars that handle like boats :P
I was merely pointing out that it’s a matter of opinion. Everyone has different tastes. Just because the car isn’t as fast as you’d like it to be doesn’t mean it’s boring or slow to everyone. What’s annoying is seeing people state that the BRZ is stupid and…

What is more competitive? The BRZ/FR-S were THE car to have in C-Street until the new Miata came out. I took 1st in Chicago Region STX with my BRZ last year with just some [really soft, street-oriented] coilovers, and wider wheels and tires.

Having said that, the torque-dip is annoying, but that can be removed with a…

If you are trying to suggest that you can’t feel the difference in handling between a WRX and a BRZ, then (and I really don’t mean this in a nasty way, but I don’t know how else to put it) you really aren’t a handling enthusiast. I drove my friends 2015 STi, and while the power was hilarious compared to my BRZ, the…

The only thing that the comments prove is that the horsepower wars of the last few years have severely skewed the public’s perception of what a sports car is, and how much power you need to merge on the highway.

I dunno how you drive, but I have no problem merging into traffic with my BRZ. I didn’t know you needed 500 HP to daily on the highway these days...

...but... the BRZ has a few benefits over a WRX... and to people who value those specific things (driving position, chassis balance, handling and feedback), the BRZ wipes the floor with the WRX.

Boring if you like straight-line speed. That’s like saying, “Your ultrabook is boring.” No. It isn’t it just serves an ENTIRELY different purpose than your 10-ton gaming laptop.

I get 34 MPG highway with my BRZ... at 78 MPH.

You’re very clearly a numbers guy. That’s one type of car person. There are people who value other things in a car. Such as feedback and handling. If you think a Cobalt SS can come close to providing the kind of driving position, feedback, chassis balance, etc... as a BRZ, then I want what you’re smoking.

If you think the rear seats of a Mustang are cramped, then you’ve clearly never sat in the back seats of a smaller sports car like a BRZ. Honestly, the rear seats of the Mustang are fine for short family trips somewhere on a nice day (my dad rented a 2016 Convertible for a few weeks over the summer and we always had…

Psh. I can do silhouette shots with my car using my cellphone. NBD!

I’m eyeing this specifically to add to my tire trailer for autocross days with my BRZ. I hate having to quickly drive up to the air pump near the trailer between heats when my tires have cooled down and lost 5 PSI.

Yes.

As a BRZ owner, it sounds like you’re doing it wrong.

“DESTROYED” suggests that they beat it by more than a unit of time so small as to likely be more within the realm of error than anything else...

Well, again, it all comes down to cost.

Again, it’s not that more power isn’t possible. It’s that more power isn’t possible without driving the cost up. Mazda has been working on the Miata since the stone age, and it still doesn’t have a ton of power.

Keep in mind, though, that most cars with a 4 and 6 cylinder engine option are designed from their inception for both eventualities. The Mustang is a good example. I’m not saying it costs Ford a fortune to shove a V8 in there, because they need to redesign the entire car first. Ford designed the car from Day 1 with…

I can only assume you’re trolling at this point. If you aren’t, then you’re clearly too dumb to understand why your comments are so silly.
