Want a Subaru BRZ... STi? - Page 3

No scoop for the classic Subaru top mount intercooler and the grill in the front bumper looks too far back for an intercooler to be hiding behind there. That's a shame because a 300-plus horsepower BRZ with some more aggressive tires would be an awesome car.

A nice Ashen Gray 2SS popped up on a local dealer used lot that same night, and the rest is history.

That being said, one of my friends looked at a new WRX, and after riding in it, if the BRZ had even that motor, and that torque curve, I probably wouldn't be on this forum. I have no regrets, obviously, but a turbo would turn what's already a good car into a great one.

I would've bought a corvette if I wanted a small car like this.

This is my husband's 2015 wrx with a few modifications like an access port, exhaust and cai and let me tell you, these cars are incredibly impressive. It takes more then just raw hp to make a quick car. The AWD 4 banger turbo boxer engine is truly amazing. We test drove a 2015 sti and we werent impressed. I drive a 2014 2ss/rs (stock for now) and while I am faster, he can definitely keep up with me.

I can't see how they'll sell any and/or compete without a turbo. They'll change their minds when the numbers are crap compared to the competition. This could also be a smoke screen, just to divert us from the truth for now until they're ready to actually release it. [announcing a turbo BRZ STI now would likely hurt future WRX STI sales, as buyers hold out for the BRZ]

How long you are going to wait more? This FT-1 is a joke. Cant believe this red prototype is still floating around.

oh I agree, I really don't understand why they haven't out the turbo engine in this thing yet.

im not sure the FT-1 and the BRZ will be in the same price range...IF the FT-1 is ever released.

They aren't going to give it a turbo, but there is a nice aftermarket if you choose that route.

As for the twins... drive one, on a real curvy road. You will step out of the car with a grin from ear to ear. I believe I made a new v6 mustang owner rethink his purchase this past weekend.

No turbo?? Fail.

This is the reason I avoided the BRZ. Could have gotten a WRX for the same money and I think that's why people don't really buy the BRZ or FR-S.
