I had a revelation when I sat down to ponder what cars would be REAL WORLD faster than the BRZ/FR-S. Granted, my living situation (Colorado Springs, 6500' above sea level at my house), pushes my impromptu logic in a specific direction, but I imagine this would apply to nearly anyone who doesn't live six feet from either ocean. So, without further ado, here are the categories of cars faster than the Sciubaru in the real world:
Category A: any car/truck with a turbo. Category B: any car/truck with more than 2 liters of displacement. And that's it, really. Now I don't know about you guys, but I would die inside just a little bit every time I got waxed from a stoplight by a soccer mom late for practice, rolling 6 deep in her minivan. I think anyone who's even got a small shred of competitiveness or Type-A in them would feel the same. The thought of having to repeat the mantra "Yeah, but my car handles better in the twisties" over and over again during my daily commute- which, oh by the way, has NO twisties- would drive me batty. So where would this car be truly good? Race tracks with no straights and canyon runs below 2500'? Without any sort of boost from a turbo or a blower, I can't see this car being a world beater. I simply can't. S.
