As of yesterday I have driven 2000 miles in my Subaru BRZ. So far, it runs perfectly and I haven't had a single problem with the car. I will let you guys know any updates I have on the car. Also, I will be doing Autocross within the next few weeks and will be posting some awesome videos from inside and outside the car. Anyone have any requests for videos?

I don't want to speak for the OP, but in my opinion it feels very fast. The way the car drives and sits so low to the ground also gives you the impression that you are going faster than you really are. When I'm on the highway I feel like I'm flying then I look and see that I'm only going 60! While accelerating the car really pulls, especially at the low end, I'm perfectly happy with the power it has.

The feeling you get of the car going fast is because what happens on the ground comes directly into the feel of your steering wheel and your seat. Because of how low you are to the ground and how you can feel the steering so well, it makes it feel like you are going really fast. It's the race car effect. haha.

on luxury cars its the opposite. Because everything is so disconnected you don't feel anything. So you could be going 100mph but you feel like you are only going 60.

To be honest I think most people will agree the car is all around a great car, extremely well tuned, with most of the money spent on suspension, LSD, suspension, etc. The car is fantastic none the less, just feels a bit slow in low end RPMs and very slow in higher gears. That being said, I think there will be a myriad of tuner parts to bring up the HP to a very respectable 225 or 250 hp without F.I. or the manufacturers will bring something else to the table and heed our one and only quip!

I haven't pushed the 4K limit yet as well but goes pretty well for me. I took some turns really tight and so smooth and sticks like a glove. I'm impressed so far. I have 170 miles so far. The drive back from New Orleans, to/from work one day. Loving it so far. I'm not searching wheel replacement, sub/amp, interior lighting and tint. I want to make it a little unique for the upcoming car show in Biloxi.
