The entire point of the BRZ was to get a new car with warranty and no worries. If I could ditch that for a project car, I would probably get something sporty and put a GM LS v8 in it... I’ve done over 8 ls swaps, and can make harnesses, tune and have everything work like OEM... but the time involved kills that idea…

I agree... except in a world of 280hp economy cars, 300hp does have a nice ring to it.

The 370z is a perfect example of a car that LOOKS sporty, and limits use like a sports car does, but never provides the balanced handling of a sportscar. Driving it is like driving a performance sedan... sporty-ish but you won’t drive onto a track or an autocross without wishing for something that handled better.

For the record, the engine in the BRZ is a totally diffrent direct injected flat 4 with what are basically Toyota heads on it. It’s not the same as the WRX at all.
That said, there is plenty of room to do it, and with the green light, the engineers at either Fuji or Toyota could make it happen for a reasonable price.…

Let’s do the course in reverse... good luck.

Other than Miata.... what 2 door sports car for under 30k should they be looking at?
Camaro sucked. Mustang sucked (talking about both at this price point)
The Mopars....suck as cars. overweight pigs.
I want a light, nimble true sports car.... and I would like to powerslide it on command. Not sporty looking. Not parts…

Yeah. But they couldn’t build it in their current corporate climate.
They would need a gearhead executive to hand walk his pet project all the way through.

Just a reminder.. the 2015 BRZ Series Blue had wheels that said STi on them as well.. Along with other appearance package stuff.
It is all the same car.
And it needs more power.

And Yes... I own one.

I agree with what you said. Boiled down, it all comes to consuming less fuel.
However, the political response to CO2 as evil, Declaring “war” on it, and taxing it... is misguided too. The political response does not match the real world.
I am all for reducing CO2 output. It’s the political methods they propose that are…

You missed the point.

It’s a normal automatic transmission, but instead of selecting the gears itself, you tell it what gear to engage and it stays in it. this is useful for times where the computer cannot guess what gear you should be in. For example, if you’re spinning tires in the sand, you want to stay in gear, not upshift.

Can you bank them up and just have one really fun weekend?

Yes... and Dammit, I should have read the comments before I posted the same thing.

The moral of this story? Run an air dryer on your air compressor.

As a math nerd, I would like to point out that your idea above will never reach absolute 100%.

What he’s referring to is the reclassification of CO2 from “normal byproduct of complete combustion” to the same pollution standards as nitrogen oxides, and harmful hydrocarbons.
This is not a debate on if its a greenhouse gas or not, but rather its the lunatics-running-the-asylum scenario that is vilifying it as…

A lot of comments before me seem to assume that just because we are not accepting all the new pollution goals, that we are rolling back existing ones. That would be incorrect. The cars still need cats, complete combustion and are basically squeaky clean already. That is not changing. It is making it “even better” by a…

To be fair, it does look like that one area is a gap much larger than the rest of the cones... he may have assumed this is a “turn in here” entrance...

as a bump stop? sure... it’s not very stiff, but it’s better than nothing.

While the urethane of suspension parts is not usually directly harmful, it can break off in chunks, and they can block the dog’s intestinal tract.
So.. uhh..don’t give actual suspension parts to dogs.
