0-60 for a Prius is around 10 seconds. The BRZ does it a tad over 7. Even though you said you weren't joking, I'm assuming you are

FWIW, I've seen a both the BRZ and FR-S in flesh now. I thought they looked great for what they are. One guy was on the highway doing some "pulls" and seemed to be accelerating fairly quickly, nothing that impressive though.

Well yeah, I'll agree with that, but it isn't Prius slow.

I agree, you should get out and test just to see what it's all about. It's a fun little car.

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?

Compared even to a stock sports package Z. Even my stock base + touring felt like it had more grip than the BRZ I drove, but in that car ultimate numbers aren't the goal and I respect that. It's just not for me
