2014 Subaru BRZ STI - Top Speed

The price will probably hit over $30k at that point... might as well just stick with the tried & true WRX Sti. This car should really start in the low $20k. It would be a smart move for Toyota to add a FI variant, not so much for Subaru which will potentially eat sales of the WRX.

Hahahaha, oh kenchan.

I would not trade the Z for a BRZ/FR-S, it's a great entry level sports car but it's quite a step down in performance compared to the Z34. That said, I test drove one and it does have a better driving feel in terms of responsiveness and joy that is a bit muted in the Z at times.

Expected from such a light FR platform. Are you comparing it to the stock Z or your modded Z?

Who traded in their Z for either one of these cars? Please raise your hand.

I just watched the Super GT race from Sepang and there is a BRZ running in the GT300 class. It held off an Audi R8 for the last ten laps of the race. For those not familiar Super GT is the Japanese version of DTM, except much more exciting.
The GT300 class is the smaller of two, with GT500 being the big boys. In any case the 300 class is limited to 300HP so obviously the BRZ is no where near stock. It is a very sophisticated series Others in it's class include the Lambo Gallardo, Ferrari 430, BMW Z4 and a bunch of 911s, among others. The 911 won....BRZ was something like 9th. Not bad in a field of about 20-25 cars.
The Z used to run in both classes but now Nissan sticks with GTRs.

I'll prolly get one as a daily driver!

Hard to say if the FR-S is better than (>) the 370z. 200 hp > 332 hp ?! No.
