    Disclaimer: I apologize in advance if my post offends anyone..... But.....

    I just destroyed a BRZ with my Escape

    Highway driving, of course (the BRZ would definitely kill on the backroads), but I was waiting for this opportunity.
    Why? Because when I was looking to replace my MINI, I was looking at the BRZ/FRS. But the numbers they were putting out were ridiculous..... 200hp and only 150tq with that price tag? No thank you. I jokingly told people I could beat one in the grocery getter.... And now I know I can

    LOL just in time for the 2017 Twin Turbo Genesis Coupe. Man it's going to be hard for me not trade mine in.

    I had an FRS messing with me the other day. Being I drive the 3.8 it's really not a fair comparison any way, kind of like comparing our V-6 to a Mustang or Camaro V-8.

    However due to the heavy weight of the GC when comparing the FRS/BRZ to the 2.o Turbo GC when they both came out in 2013ish, the GC going to 275hp, on a track it was a closer comparison. The BRZ being better balanced. I still can't understand why they haven't put the WRX turbo version of the boxer engine in the BRZ, that was a big mistake.

    That's a question for the ages, not like they would be taking away from the "stellar" annual WRX sales.

    Maybe it was for insurance reasons because of the median age that buys the FRS/BRZ. Guess we'll never know.

    Had they offered that I wouldn't own a Genesis. I guess it was meant to be.
