When someone says “rims” when referring to “wheels.” Almost none of you are ever actually referring to rims, unless you’re one of those v-dub life stance folks rebuilding a set of BBS 3-piece wheels. #grammarnazi

People who don’t use the parking brake “because it’s an automatic, and that’s what ‘Park’ is for.” Not only does it annoy the shit out of me, but it annoys the shit out of them when I borrow their car, park it properly, and then they drive 30 miles with the parking brake on.

Lusty. Now drop the damn swing door and give me a proper split gate! It’s the only real hangup I have in considering my gx as my 80 series replacement. The door is stupid

He obviously hasn’t read anything regarding FA20 con rods and the failures that have occurred on the WRX engines the moment owners start cranking up the boost on them even a little bit. I used to own a 2015 WRX and I sold it before the warranty expired after hearing about too many of them going into limp mode on track…

Which is a shame, because you have been a voice of reason about these cars for years and one of the few reasons I come here to post or read anything. I guess we are “fake news”.

I think Subaru has been “meh” about the BRZ from the beginning and still are judging from their complete lack of marketing support for this car. Furthermore I don’t see them being very enthusiastic about performance cars in general for the future. The WRX/STI will continue only because the fanboys will march on every…

That fact is so well documented I can’t believe people still hang on to other “conspiracy” theories. Toyota actually had to build a full mule of the car and bring it to Subaru to convince them to plug their engine in it. Toyota has and always will call the shots on development of this vehicle, with Subaru acting as…

I think the fact that we will probably see another iteration of the 86 is proof of your statement. But Toyota is going to have to be very careful with price point or it may canabilize sales from the new Supra. And it probably can’t be much more powerful than the current model. With a tuned up version of the 2.4 engine…

Apparently the haters believe anything good about this car is fake news.

Lol, I wouldn’t say that the Camaro is McDonalds and the BRZ is Sushi. It’s more like the Camaro is pork, and the BRZ is chicken, and it just depends on what you like more!

Forget it. You’re talking to people who think McDonalds is better than sushi because “it’s more filling and costs less”

Ugh. Again, when I said they aren’t in the same league, I wasn’t saying the Twins are FASTER. I meant that they handle completely differently in terms of how they feel.

It’s also worth noting, and this has been brought up in other discussions, that the guy driving the Camaro who beat everyone at Nationals is known to…

I said they aren’t in the same league. I never said what metrics I was using to make that determination. If you want to put words in my mouth, that’s fine, but let me attempt, YET AGAIN, to clarify my statement.

They aren’t in the same league as far as HANDLING FEEL. They might put down similar numbers, but they arrive…

Fact: An FR-S weighs 700 lb less than a V6 Camaro, and about 1,000 lb less than a ZL1.

Fact: A car which weighs 1,000 lb less than another car will handle differently.

As a BRZ driver, I can tell you that you are grossly exaggerating how much work it takes to pass a “normally accelerating” vehicle.

Just because you have to “plan to pass” doesn’t mean it is unsafe. Hint: 97% of cars on the road today have to “plan to pass.” If you require a car that does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds in order to pass safely, then you should probably have your license revoked, because you surely drive like an idiot.

Actually no, it isn’t. It is an entirely different kind of handling. I’m not talking about raw skidpad ratings. But nevermind, you won’t understand what I’m getting at, so this discussion is pointless.

The commenter wasn’t asking if it had more power than a bus. In the imaginary situation the driver would be in the right lane at a red, with a stationary bus up ahead in the same lane. The question was, would the BRZ have enough power to drag race away from the lights and get in front of the car that was in the left…

The good news is: who cares? If the person to your left accelerates to block your merge, 100% of the time that leaves a big gap behind them to merge. Either way you won’t end up behind the bus. Your question only matters if you absolutely HAVE to be first to the next light, which is kind of pointless if you have a ton…
