Sorry but I stand by my original opinion that they are both irrelevant and shit.

The point of EVO/Impreza/GTR/200SX etc is totally missed by the pathetic engine. Those cars offered big time performance for small money, then massive performance for a few mods.

To make a brz/86 anything like the cars above that everyone says they like would cost more than thousands, and that to me defeats the point.

Sorry but I have a flea up my arse about these things :rant:

haha, ok so maybe I need a cuddle, but pretty isn't necessarily desirable and an original scoob/evo was desirable despite being universally derided for being ugly, yet praised for their performance which punched above their weight!!!

So I shan't comment on them again, except to say they're gash!!:D

Awesome looks and better handling (but as a I work for a Toyota dealership, I would say that :p )
I can't go into detail, but there are a few mechanical issues with the boxer lump.

2JZ GTE into any base car = instant zero to hero as far as I'm concerned...
