BRZ, Don't challenge me in your RWD version of a Corolla!!!!

^ that's more driver than car. I can go out in a Mini Cooper and pass everyone in the green (first time at track) run group.
I've instructed a couple guys in FRS/BRZ and I've been very impressed with the car.

True enough.

What would you turn faster lap times in: a Mini, a BRZ or a 370Z?

Car seems very tailhappy for some reason, must be the Prius tires. Thanks drifters

The BRZ is an excellent vehicle. It has it's weaknesses compared to the Z, just as the Z has its weaknesses compared to a Mustang 5.0, which is also an excellent vehicle. That's fine.

However, saying the BRZ is a "rear wheel drive corolla" is pure fanboyism, much like the resulting circlejerk.

Well.... the car IS based on the original corolla

They eluded to it so many times during its development so I don't see what's wrong with calling it a corolla now.

the corolla is like a gasoline only version of a prius.

It might depend on which model Mini and 370z. A 370z with sport would be fastest because, brakes, LSD and better tires but a JCW Mini could be a good fight for a non sport 370z.

No one ever tries to race me when I'm driving my Z and I have been DD'ing it for over 2 years now! However, if anyone else ever drives my Z everyone tries to race against it. They must all have seen my timeslips

kenchan · 03-01-2013, 01:19 PM

you're suppose to include RWD somewhere in there cause our cars are RWD.
RWD cars are automatically faster than ANY FWD cars. they have proof.

you forget about the cobalt SS turbo my friend, they may be FWD but they are very quick handling for a FWD car
