Default Subaru BRZ vs S2000

15s?

What are your thoughts on this comparison? I think maybe with a track run it'd be closer??? Then again the Miata gives the BRZ a run for its money.

This shows just how bloody slow the BRZ is . I am surprised that the S2000 only mustered up a 15.0 ???????? I know S2000s are slow but damn ....... who the hell was driving it ? Perhaps they didnt want to make the BRZ look any worse and totally sandbagged in the S ? Any how i do like the looks of the BRZ and it should do well on tracks with turns . I bet in a couple of years there will be a turbo version !

Well the shot of the S2000 ahead of the BRZ is like a BLOCK ahead before they cut to the finish line and the BRZ was just a few cars behind.

This is true. I would have gotten rid of my S2000 a long time ago if I didn't boost it.

Nothin 10g's cant' cure. gtx3076 and e85 will make that brz sing a happy song. Too bad it would still get spanked by any turbo S. What a good looking, great handling DOG. Why in gods name did toyota not give that piece a real motor?

Because its meant to be a cheap car.. Putting a better engine in the car would raise the price and possibly threaten some of subaru's own higher level cars ie: WRX/STi
