I've not looked, but I imagine there's more weight on the rear tires PERIOD just due to it's mass. Though that thing probably has so much torque it doesn't matter.

I think I know what you guys mean. I'm pretty sure the BRZ/FRS is one of those cars that make a whole bunch of ruckus like you are going really fast but when you look at the mph gauge /or outside you ain't barely doing nothing. The SS on the other hand sounds more like its a victim of being isolated right? I have driven a G35 sedan with this kinda feel and the thing is faster than it feels. I wasn't even redlining the thing and I was just moving with great haste and little to no noise. My RSX sounds like the BRZ/FRS.

Fast?
Going fast, altho everyone has their own reasons for doing so, is not necessarily the quickest way to get from Point A to Point B. I can often get from A to B quicker than a "faster" car. So "going fast" is not my big thing. Acceleration is, but not just fast. This is just my personal opinion and yes I can have my own personal opinion. Quote:

I'm not impressed with GM at all, the Camaro hasn't been updated since they whored it out in the first Transformer. The car feel like it's been out forever...where's the mid cycle refresh every other manufacturer does? Too ugly and heavy IMO. I'd rock one for a day for as far as wanting one? no...
It is pretty fast, but fun is not calculated in seconds, just bragging rights 86 hands down.

this is what happens when you post in the FRS forum saying that you traded in your FRS for a BRZ. Everyone is saying good stuff about it:

That doesn't make it a more fun car to drive though. Just because a Toyota Camry is faster doesn't mean I'd buy it. Of the current American Muscle cars the Mustang Boss 302 LS is the only one I'd even consider buying over a BRZ, with a ZL1 Camaro a very distant second. I'd rather drive a slower car that is a blast to drive than a fast car that's vague, isolated and feels like a boat with a stiff suspension.

Actually makes sense to me .... The FRS is more fun to drive than some other fast cars I've had, including some mustangs.
