i think that's about what the gti has... feels pretty quick to me Confusedhrug:

edit:
gti - 3000lbs, 200hp, 207tq (1800rpm)
this - 2700lbs, 200hp, 151tq (6600rpm)

so... different, but i'd imagine similar in overall "speed."

Eh at least its quick enough in the corners so that you have all that swiftness to swing out of the way when a camry comes flying by :lol:

Im a hater, we all know that. Different strokes for different folks.

An engaging drivers car makes a shit ton more sense on the street with speed limits than a 500hp landbarge to pick up groceries and drive to grandmas house.

bears repeating...

If it were me I would've dropped the nav so that they could offer it for under $25k. The HIDs are welcome though.

I think one of the problems with a lot of enthusiasts is that so many of us only buy used cars. That said, several guys on the Roadraceautox forum say they're probably gonna pick one up. If I could swing a support vehicle and a street car I'd definitely look to buy one but I need something to tow the bike to the track so this just won't fit for me right now.

Ive thought pretty hard about selling my lotus and buying one.
id drive it much more than i do my exige.

its the depreciation of a new car vs a car that is already mostly depreciated that ultimately makes me hesitate

Just stopped by Stohlman Subaru today. They had a manufacturer demo BRZ on display (but no test drives). Sales guy said that they were allotted 17 for the year, and all of them have been pre-sold, and they have several more buyers on the wait list.
