I know its the same crappy 3.7 truck feeling coarse engine, was thinking maybe some Akebonos and ugly ray wheels would change my mind but I would still probably be pissed i own a cheap asss Nissan that cant even touch economy car companies like Honda and Toyota.

Why don't you go to the honda and toyota website and offer polishing services, to make enough money to get out your lease and buy one.

U seem to be givin em a good polish already. They'll love you over there.

If you are going to trash Nissan, at least trash it right. The 370's engine is based on the VQ, not the VK like the truck. The original VQ was silky smooth in its 3L form on the Maxima, it actually made nearly as much power as the BRZ. As the other poster said, put a rev limiter and Prius tires on your car, you will feel like you are driving a BRZ.

Nissan has lower resale value than Honda and Toyota, how dare do you compare Honda and Toyota to them.

Without jacking this thread, here are some acceleration data I got from a BRZ.

Blue line is how a 370 accelerates and red is how a BRZ comes out the corner. I am sure you can get a BRZ to corner fast, but it isn't making up the HP difference.
