    With similar weight, you would expect the higher HP Honda to win. What were they thinking?

    Oh...wait. They were only thinking about a headline that would bring page views so they could make money on their website from the ads.

    It must be the sad state of things when I think I would be happier with another RX8 as a weekend toy over the new BRZ. I still want to sit in one and see how small it is inside. Tthere is something about the BRZ(and its FR-S sister) that puts me off and I can't put my finger on it.

    Why would anyone drag race a BRZ or an S2k?

    There is no illusion of tq or real straight line power in the s2k. In fact, I waxed an s2k in my stock WRX from 60-100mph. Think in terms of bus lengths. Pretty disappointing performance for the BRZ.

    Needs boost :-/
