BRZ FRS twins right? They are quite nimble little cars from everything I have read and heard.

Not necessarily. They are on the list of good handlers, though. The reference is to a C&D comparison that had the Miata, Evo, 5.0, 370, and maybe a couple others in a "Best Handling Under $40,000" feature. This was several years ago. It was the subject of many a sour debate here on the forum.

Ahh that was a painful time. Got the fanboys in a tizzy.

eastwest2300 · 12-18-2013, 12:12 PM

That BRZ is a cool looking car though, in my opinion.

BRZ/FRS are cool cars. The power level is acceptable as long as you keep the shitty little tires on them. That's what makes them fun. Put real tires on and they get boring fast. All grip and no go.
