slow car.
good time.
A 2017 Subaru BRZ in factory form. Rear-wheel drive, low center of gravity, not enough torque to get you in trouble before you have time to reconsider.

Stock means stock.

// why i like it
Not everything needs
to win a spec sheet.
The appeal is the whole package: seating position, steering, balance, the willingness to rotate, and the fact that normal speeds can still feel like an event.
feel
Feedback > flex
A sports car should tell you what it is doing. The BRZ is good at that without requiring supercar speeds.
philosophy
Keep it simple
I like the idea of knowing the stock car properly before “fixing” it with parts the internet told me I needed.
