in all seriousness though, maybe the 2013 3.8 Gen Coupe? iirc, I think it made 350hp at the crank.

pictures needed for your fist eating.

Before someone makes the next Z hate thread , please delete your forum account and sell your Z. You don't need it.

Just for reference this is what the OP posted in his "hey bought a new z" thread.

"I absolutely need to get away from Mitsu and modding/racing in general. I spend wayyy too much time and money and am finally feeling like its time to "grow up". Priorities are changing and I need to buy a house. Driving an uncomfortable, modded car to work or out on a date isn't as enjoyable as it used to be either. The Z will stay stock for as long as possible. I have no intentions of voiding the warranty or getting in trouble. I am a man and will always have an itch for modding/racing, but the Z is a great car and I will enjoy it for what it is. (a daily driver)"

Yep cuz when someone goes to purchase a new car they go "Hey show me all your daily drivers" and the Z is at the front of that list.....

I dont get why the story/justification is needed. Is there a need to validate one is grown up? or to in some way ask for permission from the community? Is the Z grown up, where as the Evo isnt?

To be fair, it's my DD too.

Though, it's also my only vehicle.

I am not saying you cant DD it. I currently do as well but hopefully for not much longer. You can't do any extensive mods with a daily driver. If it can't be done over a weekend then it doesnt get done. It is all about priorities. If you like a sportier ride instead of commuting in a sedan/truck/hybrid etc. Then the Z in stock form will get you from point A to B. But I wouldn't delegate this vehicle to a daily driver status only. By the same token a supercar can be a daily driver.

If only I were rich enough to DD a Huayra and have others for "the weekend".

Why did you buy a naturally aspirated car? And no the BRZ/FRS is not tuner by your definition. I havnt read all the posts, just first few pages, and I saw you said dyno figures dont mean **** pretty much. Yet hp figures seem to be all you care about..? Btw, a BRZ/FRS can't hold any hp above 300 at the crank unless you do some crazy expensive mods and fabrication. I am so annoyed with kids being so obsessed with hp figures.

When you say tuner friendly, do you just mean able to get huge gains from an ECU tune?
