I've been fortunate enough to bag (blag?) a BRZ for a few days as a courtesy car while my Cosworth goes in for a bit of TLC and full detail following some car park incidents that I'm still seething about. Just to let you all know that it's an absolutely brilliant car and it deserves all the good reviews it has attracted. I look forward to living with it for a couple of days rather than a couple of hours. Not entirely sure it needs any more horsepower as it is certainly no slouch but if it does get future horsepower increases I hope it doesn't come at the expense of driver involvement of which it has bucketloads.
It's certainly got a lovely boxer rasp to it. And boxer fuel economy! Just lacks the kick up the arse shove of the turbo variants. Half the power of my Cosworth but definitely more than half the fun.
