Trading a Subaru for a camaro,on the second day of winter in minn, good call to get best deal. Bet not too many others are doing that.

How was the BRZ?

Congrats on the Camaro. But how did you like the BRZ? I love how they look and I would love to have a Impreza WRX STI.

SS785 · 12-22-2012, 06:22 PM

Congrats on the car man. Also curious on your thoughts on the brz. Had one park next to me the other day and I have to say, it looked really sharp in person.

FINALLYSATISFIED · 12-22-2012, 06:37 PM

Congrats!

How much was the vehicle price?

Thanks. The BRZ is a great car, excellent handling I must say. But its a tad slow. It does look amazing in person, I had the World Rally Blue color.

I traded it in for more power and a black coupe is more of my taste.

Was driving the BRZ (with stock tires) first time in a month since snow hit Minnesota. I must say, its scary driving it even at dry conditions. I could feel the car just lose control. Tires are too narrow. But then again, thats to be expected with no winter tires.

Its just too light that it drifts way too easily. Can be fun, but dangerous at the same time. But then again, what do I know.... I traded it in for more horse.

Side by side, the BRZ has a better style compared to the C5, but interior wise, the camaro has a lot more room and much more practical.

I do have another car I drive for winter, so snow isnt a problem for me. I'll be storing this in the garage when theres snow on the ground.

Driving home with the Camaro on the same road condition felt safer than the BRZ. Was able to pull at higher speeds without worrying about the car going sideways.

As far as the front license plates goes.... I think the dealership already did the damage on the car and drilled the holes there. Might as well just keep it since its required in the state of MN. I had the GrimSpeed license relocator kit on the BRZ so they wouldnt have to drill holes on the front bumper.

I just cant wait to opticoat it.

Anyone tried it on theirs yet?

So far... love the all black color!

Nice color , just saying .

I thought the 0% was only on 2012 not 2013.... How were you able to get that deal?
