"Fast" is a matter of perspective. If you drive exotics or race cars, the 370z is probably pretty slow to you. If your frame of reference is cars in the 370z's price range or less, however, it's probably quick.

So of course someone who has driven a 370z is going to judge the BRZ against those numbers -- but that doesn't necessarily make their frame of reference more valid.

Also, what is "fast"? In a straight line? Around a corner? On an autocross course?

...But those 370z guys, bless their hearts, did not once mention handling, or fit and finish, or the awesome (estimated) price. And I really am scared that regular people (Non-Enthusiast, Non-Aware people) are going to look at a spec list, just like these guys, and be like, "Well, this car is dumb".
handling lol! a honda fit will handle better down the canyons probably.
fit and finish lol! we're talking subaru and cheezo line of toyota (look at Yaris)
the awesome price lol! wooah, when is $28K a bargain for a cheap car?
well this car is dumb lol! so far yes.

I don't understand the need to get into petty fights about this stuff.


For me, I'm not super optimistic about the brz, but at the same time I'm not gonna judge it until I get my grimy hands on one.
