    Re: Mystery Parts

    The "sound" is not from the exhaust, it is ducted from the intake via a convoluted path from the air intake into the passenger compartment. There are variations on this "feature" in other...
  2. Re: Subaru BRZ runs Isle of Man TT in Press Launch w/ VIDEO

    Obviously roll-caged. I'm sure that's a requirement imposed by course officials.

    The STi last year survived disaster by a hair's breadth. Mororcyclists die there every year. Subaru is flirting...

    OP, don't take that wrong... thank you for the link. I did read it, too. It is just that after all this time, reviews, posts, pics, and videos I'm overloaded with...
  5. Re: Is Anyone Else Tired of the SOA Information Blackout

    You may be right about them not caring, supply and demand. But I don't feel personally neglected since I was told before I ordered the car it wouldn't be here until May at the earliest. It isn't May...

    WTB Re: Turbo Anyone

    Outside of a select FEW who have specialized racing applications, like drifting, anyone who wants a 500 whp BRZ is an inexperienced, uninformed dreamer.

    No one is going to argue that SOME more...

  8. Re: Subaru BRZ vs Nissan 370Z vs Mazda MX-5 Autocar Review

    I hear that, and my post had more to do with a conversation in my head than a reaction to your post. The fact is, in communications, there is almost always going to be "inaccuracies." That is the...
  9. Re: Subaru BRZ vs Nissan 370Z vs Mazda MX-5 Autocar Review

    Concentration on one or another of any of the many disparate specifications is why most are missing the point of the BRZ. Some wear out dyno graphs. Others bring on the scales. If they can find a...

  11. Re: 2013 Scion FR-S hits the Dyno: 173 hp @ 7000 RPM and 143 lb-ft @ 2800 RPM

    Interesting. Higher WHP reading than the Cobb dyno of the BRZ, but less WTQ.

    A significant difference or not, but this dyno shows the FR-S driving a 2-wheel dyno as opposed to the BRZ's run on a...

  13. Re: BRZ Feather weight, What mod's are you planning on doing to lighten up your BRZ?

    Imagining what I'd do, a lighter battery is a good idea... but I think its stock location is best. It was part of their centralizing mass. Putting the battery in the trunk would not only upset that...

    Re: What is your Favorite Tire

    My favorite street tire is the Pirelli PZero Nero. I've second-guessed it and found every other choice wanting in some way or other, despite their ratings.

    Re: BRZ ships on April 20!

    Heck, no! It's just that there are few ways to quantify some things, and a drag strip provides a couple numbers about one's own car.

    Here in these mountains the roads define performance, not...
