Matt's MY2013 BRZ Thread

so you like it except how it drives?

I guess you could buy it and sit in it in the driveway and crank up the stereo in it. pretty expensive for all that, though

 

I've got a sweet lazyboy and a Ipod I'm willing to let go for 24k.

 

This...

I didn't want to ask to drive his car since he had only had it for about 5 days. This is a case of the internet not conveying the implied parts and me not full explaining.

 

I think you conveyed your message and intent well in this post. Nicads just anti BRZ

 

I agree. Most everyone on here anti anything with < 250 hp.

 

tends to happen when my 6,000lb chevy tahoe can outrun a 'sports' car.

That said, I don't dislike the BRZ, other than the fact it's overpriced IMO. They look much, much better in person, though if I were to get one, Shring and I would have the exact same car. That SWP is so fucking sexy

 

Yeah, the BRZ is the first Subaru I have seen that the SWP looks good on it.

I would probably go dark grey though on my own car.

 

Fail.........straight line talk.


I'd like to see that Tahoe go head to head in the mtns with it.

 

I'd also like to see the BRZ carry a 6000lb boat, or more than two people. It's beside the point.

You can pick and choose options to put them where ever you like, but straight line or not, a $30k+ SPORTS car should be able to out perform a chevy tahoe in ANY performance test you want to throw at it.

 

Well I can agree with that statment but I guess I'm one of the few that agree's with wiki's definition of a classic SPORTS car.

To me performance driving is maneuverability at the limits...not how much power or who you can beat.

It can however be interpreted many ways and none are necessarily incorrect.

 

The tahoe is not faster than the brz. or did I miss something?

 

I like the car... I just feel that people are liking it for weird reasons.

none of us know (except shring) how it drives. everything else is just bullshit and speculation

edit: would you consider my BMW a 'sports' car? it has 4 doors and is heavy.

 

Speak for yourself......I knew how it drove before Shiring even took delivery of his.


You M5 is not a classic sports car. It's a high performance sports car. The BRZ fits the 'classic' sports car definition to the t.

 

:drama:

Here comes the 10 page discussion on a question that will never be able to be answered. :rofl:

 

Matt got a new car? I thought he drove a Miata.

 

Toyosubada?

 

trolololol

 

Yep, as they should be its a evolutionary leap backwards.

I'm glad they are building a sports car doesn't change the fact that it needs more power.

I'm also glad Matt is happy with his purchase. To each his own.

 

I really like the stance and paint scheme. I think supercharging it would be awesome and make me want to buy one

 

I'm not a fan of supercharging on small displacement engines.

I would rather have a turbo in the Dom 1.5 size range. Front Mounted turbo like the new legacy for quick boost response.

Could be verycool

 

Mmmm

 

or drop in an isf v8

thats got to mess with the f/r balance and goodbye to low cg

 

brz

i drove it before ppl had it, it does handle well, and the seats..... man the seats are tits

 

I could go for some tit seats. I'd probably never get out of them though.

 

you need some active bolstering BMW seats. #firstworldproblems

 

Looks Maddox!!!!

 

How about both? :rofl:

Looks good, man. I may have seen you in the rain on Peachtree a few weeks back. I'm in a WRB 06 STi.

 

Congrats Matt! Sweet ride

 

Matt's was the coolest out of the 3...just sayin'...

 

for sure from that angle! still torn on the front ends... I like the fog area of the BRZ better, but not a fan of the mustache area. I'd have to buy a black one.

 

ohhh now he makes it to C/O...i see how it goes..looking good Shiring!

 

agreed. when the car is rolling straight at you, it has a very aggressive looking stance. I think the designers did a great job on the front end of that model

 

It's clearly the badge that gives it that effect.

 

Hey Matt, can you call me if you are still wanting to set up a time when we can do templates of your ride in exchange for free Lamin-x. 706 955 0677. I am here till 6:00 m-f

Thank you,

Only reason I visited this journal was for the tease, lame.
