Sorry but this title in inciting a flame fest and if I was the old me I'd explain in 100 different ways why this is absurd. We could easily say a V-6 Mustang is a woman's car and get a V-8 in a pony car right?

I think most know the BRZ and its twins are not about acceleration and yet every ****ing review has stated these cars are what the world needs more of, good, honest, cheap back to basics driver's cars.

Both cars are awesome and both are built for entirely different purposes.

C'mon man your better than that.

Debated over at ft86club. BRZ is a bit understeer, which holds the car back a little bit. FR-S is faster in the same track. With 105hp less and 500lb weight advantage, FR-S runs as fast as Mustang, so it isn't bad because BRZ/FRS's power-weight ratio is not even comparable to stang.

I'd probably have more fun in the BRZ. Lightweight is a key ingredient to tossing a fun car around.

LOL I was not trying to start a flame war just tying to be funny. Anyway if the brz or fr-s was cheaper it would be defiantly a winner. A used one for about 17k would be just right.
