But I'd be happy if it did. More competition for the Z, means a better Z for me.

new York auto show they had the STI model of the BRZ there. don't remember if they said the engine specs or not.

Engine spec = slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Really it has been said before:

Quote:

Subaru says that it will not turbocharge the engine as there is no space at the front of the engine bay for an intercooler. "Plus, we want to keep turbocharging separate. It is for models like the WRX STI," said Atake. "The same goes for four-wheel drive. We could not make the BRZ four-wheel drive even if we wanted to." He also said that supercharging had been dismissed because it would make the BRZ too heavy on fuel.

Literally turbo is all that car needs. 2.0 NA is dreadfull

Davey · 04-08-2015, 03:08 PM

Yep. I could even live with the interior, given that car with 300 HP.

Unfortunately I am not even sure if those motors hold up to much hard use without FI.

Not as sophisticated as some launch controls obviously, but a good option for a Z

That's awesome!

Coming from a Mustang the lack of power in that car was a deal-breaker for me. The Z is better in every way except handling, and even that's open for debate. Certainly has a $h*t-ton more grip than the little Scibaru...

Looks: Z>twin
Brakes: Z>>twin
Power: Z>>>twin
Interior: Z>twin
Steering response Z=twin (both are good)
Grip: Z>>twin
Perceived quality: Z>twin
Cabin visibility: Z=twin (both suck)
Day to day usefulness: twin>Z
Price: Tough call, but IMO you get what you pay for.

The steering is really good on the BRZ, and the shifter placement is pretty much dead on. The pedals are just right for heel & toe, the blind spots aren't bad at all... I think, other than the Salad Shooter wheels, it's a pretty decent looking car, too. I just could not deal with the lack of power. You put some sticky tires on it and there goes about 75% of the fun.

I guess I could get a golf cart and put plastic wheels on it and drift it around everywhere, that would be fun, right?

Weird thing is that Nissan is being very secretly about the Z35. No news (From Nissan), No concept, no dates....nothing.

Announcing a new Z isn't exactly going to get the 2015's selling... Unless it's a turbo 4-banger competitor to the BRZ...
