I want to see what suby does with the new wrx. Supposed to be beast in 2014
The brz/FT86has the same boxer design as what make the suby so special and handle so well. Then now the brz/FT86 has lower center gravity than the Ferrari I think they said (sorry, sat morning brain)? I think it will be a pretty good match up with the miata. Did you see the STi version of the brz regardless of that, greddy USA is already working on a turbo kit for the brz/FT86. this thing is going to be one hell of a corner smasher. Then I heard the new wrx are going to be branded separately and even smaller. Can you imagine a wrx that already does 4.7 and 13's now in a smaller version? Assuming they won't lower the power level, but these days it look like everything is going up!

Can't blame ya on that one...I think the 2013 Mustangs are ocne again closer to the complete package of looks, function, and performance.

I still feel like the Camaro is the slightly better looker (followed my wife home the other day while she was driving the Camaro and I just couldn't take my eyes away from the car), but the Mustang also looks DAMN good now too. As for the other areas, Ford is really starting to kick our butts and it wouldn't surprise me at all if now Ford regains the sales lead. I hate to say it, but we need the the lighter 6th gen Camaro to get here quickly!

My car is my baby, and I'm not sure I'll turn loose of it either. But if Chevy knocks it out of the park with their design on the 6th gen, and the car looses several hundred lbs (like it is supposed to when moving to Alpha) and offers similar power figures...I may not be able to resist.

The Aqua Blue paint is another thing that has me attached to my car.

Gosh you are such a tease John lol!

Now is that a 2013?

What's new for the brick. You haven't updated me lately. Can't believe that big boat is hitting in the 12's! Unbelievable but, livernoise is one heck of a tuner too, so in a way it is very believable.

My only complaint with the Mustangs was the back end. However IMO, the 2013 model looks A LOT better.
