JimZ, you did it again, you managed to write the most nonsensical string of comments I’ve read all month.

It’s funny because you have no idea what you’re talking about. My BRZ is a much more enjoyable vehicle to drive than my friend’s 2015 Mustang. You do realize not everyone values the same specific things in a car, right? You clearly value power and straight line speed over handling or driving position. Don't be an ass…
You driving both a small pickup and a Neon pretty much nails the point that you only drive cheap shit that handles badly.
A nicely-balanced car of any sort is completely out of your experience, so maybe you should STFU about shit that you know nothing of.
An SRT-4 owner would care about power over chassis dynamics.
you must be so proud
You drive a Ranger. That really tells me everything I need to know about you. A person who owns and drives a Ranger in 2015 does not have an automotive opinion worth hearing.
Mmmm, well.......Hmmmmm. I don't know how to say it, but your SRT-4 is an ugly POS made by a shity car manufacturer. Ok?
Mustang GT you say? Well a Bugatti Veyron makes the Mustang GT look like a shopping cart.
The Clarkson GIF wasn’t TheHondaBro using someone else’s opinion to rebut you, it was TheHondaBro using an auto-relevant GIF to signal that he was laughing his ass off at someone humorously rebutting you.
I don’t even know why you put “progress” in quotes when you’re the one who introduced the term to the discussion,…
RWD, a 6 speed manual, LSD and a high revving NA engine are the recipe for a fun drivers car. Being made in Japan just makes it even better. Yet the Neon is still kind of an automotive joke. What is point of all that power if you cannot even put it down because you are spinning the front tires.
Yeah, let’s rag on an automaker for middling sales of a super-niche vehicle no more than a couple years after a huge recession that only the rich have truly recovered from (the exact opposite market that would buy this car), immediately after praising a Dodge Neon.
Lies! I would much rather have a well balanced rwd car with good brakes and adequate power on track over a torque steering crap box srt4 busting halfshafts and understeering* everything.
You have a Neon SRT-4? I feel bad for you bro, that’s like saying you wanted an STI or a EVO but could’ t afford it and went with dodges neon... I know it’s a good car and all but its a FWD and all the ones I’ve ever encountered have either been modified so badly it just looks like shit, or their sitting in a junk…
Hey, at least it’s not built on the underpinnings of one of the shittiest economy cars to grace this fair earth.
RWD.
A lot of nice cars that will never feel as good as the proposed FRS will feel to drive. In terms of what the control inputs feel like: steering, throttle, clutch, shifter, and especially brakes, a properly modified FRS is neigh untouchable. In order to get equal or better control feel you’ll need to get yourself a…
Uhh, yea, you really don’t need to feel bad for us. The after-market has us more than covered.
What I don’t understand is that Subaru seems to sell lots of their cars with turbo options - some of them that people don’t expect (but turn out to be great cars). But when it comes to the BRZ they are steadfastly refusing to put a turbo in it - I think they must have some kind of MAD (Mutually Assured Dullness)…
No, in this photo he is Dwayne Johnson.
I can't fathom how they've managed to engineer this. When a company like Porsche or VW builds a technologically amazing hypercar, it's obvious that the parent company has poured buckets of money into the project for years, sometimes even selling the final cars at a loss just to make a statement.
