EssFo Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 It will be a nice car when they install some actual HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm still on the fence with these. I think its from the lowly motor output. But give it a year there will be plenty of them laying down 400+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC K9 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I like the looks a lot, but it seems severely underpowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrendanB Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 That looks sweet! Looking forward to seeing one in the flesh, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Saw them at NAIAS this year; they didn't do anything for me. One thing they excel is having a mediocre look. Granted they didn't look as ugly as a Buttec but that's splitting hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 A few subaru dealers have gotten them for viewing for pre-orders, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm still on the fence with these. I think its from the lowly motor output. But give it a year there will be plenty of them laying down 400+ I like the looks a lot, but it seems severely underpowered. It will be a nice car when they install some actual HP. Considering the curb weight is targeted to be LESS than an S2000 with about the same HP and more torque than an S2000, I wouldn't say it's "slow" or "underpowered." I've argued this before, it's not about power.... it's about overall balance, which is exactly what makes a car exciting to drive. I would just like to point out, I'm sure VERY few of us on this board could ever out-drive a car like this. It will really make a driver out of you. BTW, I'm completely jealous Greg got to see this car in person because I'm as giddy as a girl waiting for this car to be released... I WILL have one.

Mr. Jones Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 C I WILL have one. No worries, when this car was first announced, we all knew you would be first in line. :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 If I had to guess, I'd say the neon green indicates a Diplomat plate. Probably a foreign politician's kid at OSU or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Diplomat plates are pretty normal looking. There are a bunch of bright green plates that say nothing at all on them from something called "EarthRehab" but they are always on the front.... http://earthrehab.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/jetta-vw-with-green-plate-michigan.jpg?w=300&h=214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 booooing. waiting for subaru to supercharge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 It has a better power to weight ratio than my spec.B The BRZ/FR-S is about the driving experience and having fun behind the wheel. It's not about driving in a straight line. There are plenty of other cars out there for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Side note, anyone know what the neon green license plate means? Google search says (maybe, news from 2007/2008) sexual predator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Csame HP and more torque than an S2000, The S2000 has more horesepower by 40 or so. I'd be very interested in one of these for the twisties as long as I could keep the GTO for straight line fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
