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

Ive seen a few of these when driving to work at night in the San Gabriel/Rosemead area, both the Scion and Subaru. Last night I got to run one really quick on the 10, it was blue so im guessing it was the Subie. My Chrysler 200 S pulled away pretty good so I can see that they need more power. Still tho wasnt that fair, 283/260 vs 200/151. Cool looking little car tho.

These are great looking cars and from what I hear anyway, brilliantly balanced and stable. But this is Amerika, mmmkay. More fucking power please.

Word.
In stock form, even with the prius tires, it's more fun in the mountains than my vette (I've put 6k miles on it in 3 months because i drive out to ACH or MCR almost every week!!) I usually go with some college friends with Evos and WRXs and they can't stop talking about how unbelievable it is in the corners...I'm a crappy driver too and this thing inspires such confidence that I play tag with sportbikes on the twisties and a couple guys have asked "what is that car???" because they cant believe how well it keeps up, especially after hearing that its 200hp!

I've been tempted, but i'm really hoping to go all-motor...dunno how much i can get out of it yet, but my AEM parts are slated to be installed next month (hopefully, remember they borrowed my car for measurements back in MAY!!) and i heard something like 12hp from intake+exhaust which will bring it to 150whp on the dreamkiller dyno LOL

I was impressed by what it could do when I saw one at an autocross event I was at recently. I don't know what kind of driver was in it or if he could do better or was better than everyone there but I would love to get behind the wheel of the car and see for myself.
