Obvious troll is obvious. He says he's been following the FT's development and then is surprised it doesn't have supercar performance in a straight line.

That's like anticipating the next Avatar movie then getting pissed off that it has blue people in it. The BRZ's average acceleration is no news and was expected from day #1. Anyone who has watching the FT's development should have seen this coming. Dreams of turbos and superchargers on the first production model were just that, dreams. Misinformation spread by journalists who lie about having "inside sources" and internet rumors starting off from idiots trying to get attention.

People who say "OMG! It only has 200hp!" are showing their ignorance.

Is there any reason you are against using capitalization, commas, paragraphs and complete sentences?

All I want to know is how a fact can "come to perdition"?

Can anyone explain this to me? Why is he saying that facts are going to hell?

I could understand if a fact came to fruition. But last I checked.. perdition was something entirely different.

Serious mods? You let this shit run on for three pages and yet close and delete other threads with the smallest amount of discourse? I honestly don't get it.
