WOW, a whole 200bhp 151lb/ft, bet that really s---------------struggles to get up hills!!!:brickwall
|
0-60 in 6.5 and 14.5 1/4 mile aint slow but a 2 door coupe like that is crying out for more.
The seats are nice though :) |
Yet another, "We have lost our way", car from Subaru.
I can't see folk queueing for that. |
It isn't all about power though, the MX5 wasn't exactly quick and look how good they are.
200 bhp in a little rear wheel drive sports car is plenty enough to have some fun. |
slowest sti ever made?
being an sti model it needed to have more get up and go |
That is not fit to wear the STi badge. :mad:
A Boggo WRX is way quicker. :freak3: |
At least normal brz owners won't get sti envy. Needs a spoiler blown arches and a turbo. 280-300 would've been a nice starting point.

Its hardly a slow car, will be fun/handle well and there will be plenty of tuning options. I wouldnt say no to a supercharged one though!
|
But why not turbo it? Make it a proper STi.
|
I don't see many BRZ's around compared to the GT86. There's very little to separate them on paper, so does it come down to the badge?

The cars are the same, however Toyota offer 5 years 100K warranty whereas subaru offer 3 years 60k warranty. Both cars cost the same, look the same (well minor front bumper change) and drive the same. |

I reckon a supercharger would work well. Almost no lag, more shove.
I often see a 15 plate GT86 around here - a special edition with a massive spoiler and huge exhausts. Talk about all show, not much go. |

Already been said but the seats are nice especially when doing 30 everywhere .....

I heard same thought 1 in 2 though, could be wrong

Has actually any of you that criticise the car driven a BRZ/GT86?
I test drove a GT86 and although it may not set the tarmac on fire it's such a fun car to drive, it's not all about power at the end of the day. |
POWWERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!:lol1:
|
On a more serious note Evo magazine did a group test with a supercharged BRZ. They seemed to rate it. Think it was running about 280.
