:icon17: haha, reminds me of this fat woman that sat in a S2K long time ago
at a car show. she literally could not get out of the car and had to ask the
honda staff to help pull her out. :rofl2: and it was a struggle. even security
came.

..would be funny if I was fat my friend, unfortunately I lift weights and I'm a little broader than most people. The seats of the Z hug me tight enough but I can lift my leg to place it on the ground whenever I want to exit the car without having to use my hands to make my knee reach my chest :icon18:

Oh shyt. No lie. 2012 Dallas auto show. 2 fat chix in a miata. One barely rolled out. The other one struggled 5 minutes to get out. Then she had the nerve to say. "They make that damn car too small."
In my head, I was like "BYTCH, you knew you was almost as big as the car itself!! How u even gonna try unless you haVe aspirations to be a sardine."

Only in Tx... Lmao.:inoutroflpuke:

Thats exactly what I did. A loaded 3.8 with 8 speed auto. Absolutely awesome for my crazy commute for a DD. And I dare say, its quicker than the 370Z at speed too, say 45mph+. Other than that, its a bit behind the 370 in EVERY performance category i can think of. But comfort, tech and power for the this price is unbeatable.

Lol @ faster than a Z. Maybe an 8at against a 6mt Z. 7at against 8at. Took that challenge. Hyundai didn't make it.

Is the Civic that good, or is the FRS that bad?

My guess is that the Twins have more work to be done. They should have been able to pull off a one-second win at minimum.

Stock tires on the twins are basically rock-hard Prius tires. They did this to make the car more "fun". (meaning you can break the back end loose without needing a lot of HP)

I have driven these on track. The Twins are really great cars.

Put the same tires on both cars in this test and the BRZ/FRS wins comfortably.

Some better tires and 100 HP and an oil cooler would do a lot for the BRZ. Just sayin'.

I know why they put Prius tires on the car. Conceptually, I understand why the car will be fun on a track. Any car would be fun on a track with tires like that. As long as you have enough skill to keep the car under control, shytty tires make cars slip and slide better. There's no magic to that. Put those tires on a Z and you will have just as much fun or more because at least the power is there. I give RESPECT to the cars balance and LCOG. But the twins need an overhaul of Quality, features, price tag and power
