Not a bad showing for the little guy

2012 Motor Trend Best Driver's Car
9th Place: Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4
8th Place: Jaguar XKR-S
7th Place: Ford Shelby GT500
6th Place: Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
5th Place: McLaren MP4-12C
4th Place: Subaru BRZ
3rd Place: 2013 Nissan GT-R Black Edition
2nd Place: Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series Coupe
1st Place: Porsche 911 Carrera S (ultra lame)


I still stand by my desperate need for power opinion. A friend of mine is looking into one and I was "lucky" enough to get behind the wheel of a BR-Z (he had to clear a credit/finance check... or whatever they call it to even get a test drive).
On a simple test drive the car felt small but very nimble and solid, but I just can’t get past the immense lack of power. Plus I have to say that on the BR-Z the interior is very lack luster for $30,000 (plus markup). The seats however... AWESOME

Make a STI or whatever version you want to call it which puts out a turboed 300hp stock (easily tuneable to a safe 350) and it could be a great little car
