Am I going to die? 151 Torks

[genjy]

Niceee

I would get the Subaru in blue and the Scion in white, though. That's just me.

[someguy123]

Good to see a few TCLers already bought/ordered one. (As I have predicted)

Unlike other cars TCL wants, but never buys!

I drove both cars I've been fapping over, as for not buying either, well I'm not letting a dealer rob me blind lol.

[RogueTDI]

Scary stuff man. Good luck in traffic with so few torks.

seriously, noone noticed the ufo in the pic?

So how big are these things inside? Do tall people fit okay? Beefy dudes? Tall beefy dudes?

This isn't a Craigslist ad by the way.

[what]

Can we have a few more "I'm [getting/ordered/just took delivery of] one of three cars that is nearly almost exactly the same" threads?

I think we need a few more!

I feel like the Pontiac GTO just came out again.

I think we need a few more!

I feel like the 1/2 of a Pontiac GTO just came out again.

ftfy

Oh, and if anyone knows of ANYONE in the detroit/A2 area with one of these cars available for a test drive PLEASE let me know.

[unintended acceleration]

...well...

151 ft-lbs @ 6600 rpm vs 207 ft-lbs @ 1800 rpm is a big difference...

The difference is that one makes HP at low RPM, the other at high RPM.

What is up with all of you pu$$ies and not wanting to rev an engine or downshift?

Some sports cars are not designed to make their power at lower engine speeds. It's about the drive, a tossable balanced chassis and winding the engine a little bit.

What don't some of you retards understand about this?

I swear, people are getting dumber.


By this logic we should all be driving diesels and revving to 4K RPM. Weeeeeeee! What fun!

Im 6'0" and 210 lbs...fit in there great, seats were very comfy and still had agressive bolstering.

Congrats, OP. Can't wait to get mine.

[vdubdave]

Nice! I saw a few of these at a local car show this weekend and they do look great in person. Interior was a lot nicer that I was expecting too.

Was there any sort of "market value" dealer markup over the sticker price?

[TooFitToQuit]

That color is no good.

[RacerrRex]

It must be pretty neat to have enough money lying around where you can go out expecting to get groceries, but instead come home with a brand new sports car ordered!

6'3" 195lb and 34" inseam. Very comfortable in an FRS.

[phryxis]

Awesome, congrats!

[MGQ]

Rabble Rabble I'm Jelly!

[Inspector Detector]

Perhaps you should try Ford's Grabber Orange?

From what I see here, I'll take it

oh? well it is a big difference. Funny how when somebody has a different opinion than some people, they're automatically a retard and CLEARLY getting dumber...

Digest it as you like, but power is the work performed. The fact that you have to wait for it isn't necessarily a problem; it's better than having it all at once when you're on a track since wheelspin isn't a desired by-product of low-end torque. Torque is simply the twisting the engine generated. More twist, more in-your-seat. Conclusively, based solely on this, the GTI is more fun to drive on public roads IF you drive it like a normal car and accelerate from red lights, on ramps, what have you, even corners as it handles very well for an FF. The BRZ on the other hand may not be as fun to drive if being driven normally. You would have to take advantage of its handling characteristics; something a little hard to do on the streets. Of course, it would destroy a GTI hands down on the track. I have no doubt about that.

That's my opinion. Torque makes me smile. Horsepower gives me tickets. But what it really comes down to is this:

What makes you smile about a car?

...and would you bloody stop calling people retards because their opinion differs?!?! You're f*cking ridiculous and not credible when you insult others. But it's ok though, I'm a p*ssy anyway for not wanting to downshift for torque... ()

[Mosbius Designs]

I've driven the GTI for six years. It gets boring after a while...the power delivery is too smooth for a car with sporting intentions. The power delivery of the BRZ makes me smile, however.

To each their own.

[Mosbius Designs]

Yup, and that's what drives me abso-freakin-loutely bonkers about the people on both extremes about this car. It's either all or nothing, and the threads are getting unbearable.

[dcmix5]

It isn't bad. Color is going to be subjective anyway, no way around that.

Nope, I paid sticker. The salesman told me that marking it up would not be a policy that their dealership would support.

Understandably. I agree 100%. To say the BRZ is bullsh!t is a really dumb statement (almost deserves insta-ban). It's not for everyone, and that's a fact. But it's a well engineered car and has a specific purpose. If you don't float that boat, that's fine, but these groundless comments and getting old and it's almost insulting to those who love the car.

Bottom line; not everyone likes like same things you do. (I think I learned this while my age was expressed by a single digit...)

Just for the record; I think the BRZ/FR-S is an amazing car. I actually signed up for one. However, that was before I test-drove a mk5 GTI and fell in love with Volks again. (and kind of remembered what I love in a car) Besides, the FR-S was more than what I was willing to pay for. I've never test driven one either.

I wanted a black FR-S and to make it look just like the one that attended a C&C meet a few months ago.

[Mosbius Designs]

Is that the darker blue that's also available on the BRZ? I like.

[dcmix5]

Galaxy Blue Silica for BRZ, Ultramarine for the FR-S...same color.

As far as I know, the Lava and WR Blue are the exclusives for each.

[Mosbius Designs]

Cool. I'm gonna eventually go the BRZ route - I really like WRB, but I think it'll be too flashy for me as a daily driver. This other blue may be the ticket.

[BagelConsultant]

I'm jealous, love the car but I don't fit at all in the driver's seat. Damn shoulder bolsters

[dcmix5]

I am about 210, wide shoulders, etc...I didn't get a ton of seat time, but the bolsters weren't too bad.

[seadoo2006]

is that a UFO?

Dammit ... I was hoping to make that post!

Can you elaborate?

I'd get that deep blue if I were getting one.

[Mosbius Designs]

I like the quicker-revving nature of the brz. The power comes on earlier in the GTI, but it feels lazy in comparison. I know some people will be quick to disagree, but thats how it feels to me.

[kraut_pauer79]

definitely could dead. 0nly 151 t0rkz, brah.

congrats, definitely make a thread with pics once your new toy has arrived
