BRZ, Don't challenge me in your RWD version of a Corolla!!!!

UNKNOWN, you did the right thing by not engaging him. Regardless of the make and model of car, guys like this are itching for trouble at the expense of random innocent drivers and pedestrians.

It is also twice as funny when the car in question is not as fast in a straight line. This is no knock on the BRZ, but bone stock it's not winning many drag races. That's just not what the car was built for. It was built for the twisties.

I would say the VQ is definitely a harsh engine up top- not just for senior citizens, but for the motoring world in general.

It's an impressive mill, but smooth up top it is not.

I raced against a BRZ at Sears Point. Yes it is a good handling car but not anything to worry about in our 370Z's. The BRZ often held up traffic, but was by no means the slowest car on the track. That went to a Mini Cooper.

I have film somewhere of this event.

^ that's more driver than car. I can go out in a Mini Cooper and pass everyone in the green (first time at track) run group.
I've instructed a couple guys in FRS/BRZ and I've been very impressed with the car.

True enough.

What would you turn faster lap times in: a Mini, a BRZ or a 370Z?

It might depend on which model Mini and 370z. A 370z with sport would be fastest because, brakes, LSD and better tires but a JCW Mini could be a good fight for a non sport 370z.

you're suppose to include RWD somewhere in there cause our cars are RWD.
RWD cars are automatically faster than ANY FWD cars. they have proof.

you forget about the cobalt SS turbo my friend, they may be FWD but they are very quick handling for a FWD car

Car seems very tailhappy for some reason, must be the Prius tires. Thanks drifters

kenchan · 03-01-2013, 01:05 PM

the corolla is like a gasoline only version of a prius.

No one ever tries to race me when I'm driving my Z and I have been DD'ing it for over 2 years now! However, if anyone else ever drives my Z everyone tries to race against it. They must all have seen my timeslips
