How does it sound? It sounds slow......My 77 280z goes fater than that

Well you wouldn't expect a 200 HP car to be that fast in the 1/4 mile. This car wasn't exactly made for straight line speed.

MC · 03-23-2012, 01:45 PM

if i got one it would be for around town driving and autocross...

but yeah the acceleration times are bad even though i expected them to be slow..but thats real damn slow.... would have to get a bumper sticker to say "dont race me...my other car is a GTR "

the limited trim car has like leather and alcantara seats push button start and a spoiler for supposedly 28K.... for almost 30K even though i know thats not the point that just doesnt make sense its that slow to be so light..... the turbo version should be like 5.5 0-60 and maybe like a 14.1 1/4 mile

Ok, sorry but that is pathetic, especially for 2012.
Just looked up old 240sx times and the 240sx was faster by a a little bit..I mean come on, this is suppose to be something amazing I though.

I cautiously await a turbo version to see how well it does.

So it looks like this car will be a total slug after all.

The car appears to be awesome but those acceleration #'s have me wondering if its making something like 185-190hp not quite 200hp.

The Civic SI weighs over 100lbs (~2900lbs vs. ~27XXlbs.) more with the same ~200hp yet blows the BR-Z's doors off... 0-60: 6.3sec vs. 7.3 and 1/4mile: 14.8@96 vs. 15.3@92.

Hell even the MX-5 Maita runs 0-60: 6.5-6.7 sec and 14.9@93 for the 1/4mile.. But then again its power to weight ratio is similar to the Civic si / BR-Z.

I'm not saying the BR-Z isn't worth it or anything I'm just wondering about the 200hp figure which seems over-rated considering the #'s....

Otherwise the BR-Z appears to be one of the best driver's cars out there along side the likes of the S2K, MX-5, RX-8, Boxster/ Cayman.

So it seems if driving is what you desire it wouldn't make much sense to spend more than ~26K on one of these BR-Z's. I'm torn....

The BR-Z is obviously not for those lacking in the genitalia debt.

MT tested it to be slightly faster than the Miata.

MT tends to be wrong much of the time. Car and Driver / Road & Track have it slower so I'm more inclined to take their word.

What's up with the doors? The only thing I noticed about the 11' MX-5 I test drove was that it's a very well built car. I didn't notice anything odd about the doors

The Miata's are known for their superb door quality...........

Known fact, Captain America uses part of a Miata door as his shield.
