A couple of my buddies were telling me how I should check out the Suburu/Scion since it's such a "driver's car" that's "super lightweight" and supposedly handles like none other... so to be objective I drove one. IMO it handles OK but has no guts to speak of and is constructed like it came out of a cereal box.
I ruled it out immediately.
In case anyone cares, the Camaro had a ton of power (it should... it's a 6.2L v8 after all) but was ugly, overweight, handled like poo, and had a really badly designed interior. The Mustang had pretty decent handling (not like a Z, but good enough), an OK interior, and tons of power. I was all ready to pull the trigger on one except that I pass 45 of them on my way to work every day and the Nismo was more fun to drive. Is the Mustang faster in a straight line than a Z? Absolutely. Will it lap Summit main faster than a Z? Probably (sorry, flame suit on). But is it more fun? HELL NO!
I've been known to make buying decisions with my heart instead of my head, and so here we are. I'm now daily-driving a Nismo.
Here's my other ride...
