Now, I'm not going to trash the car. They are great cars for the price range. But honestly, these people are delusional about what the car is. It would be like us acting like our cars were as good as audi R8's or something.
I think BR's are generally kool. Overpriced and INSANELY overrated. But they're kewl. I just hate underpowered whimps acting like they are in the same playing field when they are down nearly 140hp and pushing 16.1 second quarter mie times

But but but...they can push it to the limits at a much slower pace. That counts for something right

You gotta think the whole time he was racing you, in his mind, he was wearing that boxer out. I am sure he felt accompolished when he got to wherever he was headed.

Just roll down your window and point and laugh at his prius tires they hate that. That is if he isn't one of those who changed his tires out on day one.

There has to be a willing opponent of a challenge to have a race... lol.

I wouldn't waste my Vpower 93 on his broke-azz.

I normally only get CTS-V's and Honda's trying to race me around here. The CTS-V's are funny I act like I engage just for a second. Then they waste all their gas when there was no race to be had. That has to burn a little bit haha.

LMAO!!!

Honestly, I understand the "I can push my car to the limits more often than you"
But I enjoy it in REALLY shítty cars like my ex's Yaris, damn it was SOOOOO fun to drive, it's a POS, but fun... And if I wanted a car like that, I'd get a Ford Focus. I had a regular hatch back one for a week as my car was in the dealershit, and while it may be FWD, I handbrake turned that son bítch at every other turn, and MAN OH MAN it was a fun car!

For me, just please for god sakes, don't sell the FRS as a true sports car... $25k is great, but 200hp... Boxer engine... No... My '98 and '01 Toyota Avalons' had better 0-60's

It really is the new Miata, which is ok... I guess... And I'm happy it kicked the tuner market into overdrive... But just be prepared to see a lot more "yobbos" as they say on Top Gear

Agreed. the only difference between a BRZ and a cheap FWD manual car... Donuts.

Mazda 3's in manual are crazy fun. $17,000 Focus St for 25k will give more torque and will feel more ballzy throughout the range. Chevy Sonic Turbo. Kewl lil whip to destroy. lol
The Z offers way more. I don't care how high our center of gravity is by comparison. Our cars offer real sports. BRZ's offer sporty fun.

I'd rather buy a base manual z for $33k than a loaded BRZ for $30k
