BAC5.2 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 bmx, u should spend less $$$ moding your car, invest in new technology, like electric supercharged motor.

I Donated thefultonhow Posted February 10, 2012 I Donated Share Posted February 10, 2012 Let's be realistic. They are Subarus that in some instances are rebadged as Toyotas. Subaru did all the engineering work, and there is some debate as to which company came up with the idea in the first place (Toyota insists that they did; Subaru says Toyota didn't sign on until they saw how awesome the concept was).

Mega Users seabass07 Posted February 10, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted February 10, 2012 I want one with a turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boymk123 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 who doesn't want one with a turbo... if they can afford one... lol I'm talking about $$$ vs performance, if I have $50k to throw out of the window, do you think I even bother with this BRZ?

BAC5.2 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 who doesn't want one with a turbo... if they can afford one... lol All the people who say the car isn't about being "fast". Which is good, because that means there will be less demand when the cool version comes out.

boymk123 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 you understand it wrong! and there is no confirmation of a turbo version in near future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I understand what wrong? The people who don't want one with a turbo, are the ones in this and the other threads, who say "fast" isn't the point of the car. They want the slow version.

boymk123 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I left this thread for awhile, not sure if anybody said they don't want a turbo in these cars, I know I do but I like this "slow" version also (in case they never come up with a turbo), and 200HP in a RWD coupe is faster than my 271HP family sedan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMER DOWN Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 who doesn't want one with a turbo... if they can afford one... lol I'm talking about $$$ vs performance, if I have $50k to throw out of the window, do you think I even bother with this BRZ? GM did it between 22k for the2.4L DI N\A base & 32K for 2.0L DI turbo top model. 2 door convertible or coupe. I paid only 26,999 for my 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP. Under 3,000lbs. 260hp\260ft.bls. 0-60 low 5 sec. 1\4 mile high 13's. Balance 51% front, 49% rear. Real world time lips here; http://www.kappaperformance.com/forum/index.php/topic,932.0.html Take about $1000.00 to $1500 for a tune & chassis brace. You get a car that's 0-60 in the mid 4sec., 1\4 mile high 12's low 13's. and handle like is on rails. You don't need 50k.

boymk123 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 sorry, I'm not into american cars... they are fat and slow, after I test drove a mustang, which was always #1 rating and it didn't suit my taste... I know I'm being ignorant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 But you are on-board for a same-weight and much slower Subaru?

boymk123 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 well, I have a lot of faint in the "86", no joke... I wouldn't argue it's fast or has a vtec kick in or sumthing, I know it doesn't, but a well-rounded car. Need a test drive :spin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 It will be a great car, but it will still be slow.

BAC5.2 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 You are the one who called a Solstice, a vehicle of nearly identical weight and significantly more power than the BRZ, "fat and slow".

dmanaenk Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 GXP? Lol, enjoy your car engineered from leftover parts. I testdrove a few last summer. Interior rattles/squeaks were louder than the engine, lol. And interior is a complete junk. Steering feel was almost non-existent to me. Stock suspension is marginal. It could be made quick in a straight line, but it is not fun to drive. Ten times out of ten I'd choose a used s2k over this. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
